Technical |
The AWstats website announced that installations are safe from remote command execution if you set the variable '$!AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser' to '0' (off). However, subsequent testing indicates this does not fully mitigate the vulnerability.
|
|
Solution |
Upgrade to version 6.3 or higher, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.
