Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
69605 AWStats Crafted LoadPlugin Directory Traversal Unspecified Issue

AWStats contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path. The issue is due to the program not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) supplied via a maliciously crafted LoadPlugin directory. This directory traversal attack would allow the attacker to have an unspecified impact.
