DESCRIPTION:
MustLive has discovered two vulnerabilities in AWStats, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.
Input passed via the "url" and "key" parameters to awredir.pl is not
properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in versions 6.95 and 7.0. Other
versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
