Title: AWStats 'awstats.pl' Multiple Path Disclosure Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

AWStats is a Perl-based application that provides statistics on server traffic.

AWStats is prone to a path-disclosure vulnerability. Specifically, by passing invalid input to the 'config' parameter of the 'awstats.pl' script, an attacker may trigger an error message that discloses installation paths.

Exploiting this issue can allow the attacker to obtain sensitive data that may aid in launching further attacks against a vulnerable computer.

The following are vulnerable:

AWStats 6.5 (build 1.857) and prior
WebGUI Runtime Environment 0.8.x and prior
