62
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-2237 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability affecting AWStats versions 6.4 and 6.5 when statistics updates are enabled via its web interface. Attackers can exploit this by injecting shell metacharacters into the 'migrate' parameter. With a CVSS score of 5.1 (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P), it indicates a network-based attack with high complexity, potentially leading to partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not on CISA's KEV catalog, multiple Metasploit modules and ExploitDB entries confirm readily available exploit code, despite a lack of community discussion or media coverage.
