AWStats Referrer Arbitrary Command Execution Vulnerability |
||
|
Checks for referrer arbitrary command execution vulnerability in AWStats Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a CGI script that permits execution of arbitrary commands. Description : The remote host is running AWStats, a free logfile analysis tool for analyzing ftp, mail, web, ... traffic. The version of AWStats installed on the remote host collects data about the web referrers and uses them without proper sanitation in an eval() statement. Using specially-crafted referrer data, a possible hacker can cause arbitrary Perl code to be executed on the remote host within the context of the affected application once the stats page has been regenerated and when a user visits the referer statistics page. Note that successful exploitation requires that at least one URLPlugin be enabled.
