Description

AWStats contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary commands via the "|" pipe character. The issue is triggered due to improper sanitization to the 'migrate' variable before being used in an "open()" call. It is possible that the flaw may allow arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
