**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
AWStats version 6.2
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the `pluginmode`, `loadplugin`, or `noloadplugin` parameters.
**Recommendations**
For AWStats version 6.2, update to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue to prevent remote command execution. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the parameters `pluginmode`, `loadplugin`, and `noloadplugin` to minimize the risk of exploitation.
