Security readout for executives and security teams

AWStats 6.5 and earlier has a cross-site scripting issue in awstats.pl. If the script is reachable, an attacker could cause a user’s browser to run attacker-controlled HTML or script through the config parameter. Business risk depends on whether AWStats is deployed and exposed to users or administrators. Exposure is most likely on legacy web servers that still host AWStats CGI reports, especially where awstats.pl is internet-accessible or reachable by authenticated administrators. Modern environments without AWStats, or without awstats.pl exposed, are unlikely to be affected. Treat this as a targeted legacy exposure check rather than an emergency. Prioritize internet-facing servers and admin-accessible reporting systems. If AWStats is still present and old, reduce access quickly and follow vendor guidance for remediation. Mitigation focus: Inventory AWStats deployments and identify any versions 6.5 or earlier.; Check Gentoo, AWStats, or package-vendor guidance for fixed versions or backported patches.; Restrict access to awstats.pl until vendor guidance is applied..
