Awstats is prone to an arbitrary command-execution vulnerability. This
issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-
supplied input.
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary
shell commands in the context of the webserver process. This may
help attackers compromise the underlying system; other attacks are
also possible.
Awstats < 7.0 is vulnerable;
