TITLE:
AWStats URL Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA31519

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/31519/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
AWStats 6.x
http://secunia.com/product/4490/

DESCRIPTION:
Morgan Todd has discovered a vulnerability in AWStats, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed in the URL to awstats.pl is not properly sanitised
before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site.

Successful exploitation requires that the application is running as a
CGI script.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 6.8. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in version 6.9 (beta).

Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
