CVE-2008-5080

Publication date 3 December 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

awstats.pl in AWStats 6.8 and earlier does not properly remove quote characters, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via the query_string parameter. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-3714.
