    About StatsPlus:
    -------------------

    Vulnerable (tested) Versions:
    --------------------

    Vendor Contact:
    --------------------
    7-20-02 - An email was sent to supportat_private discussing
               the issue at hand.
    
    7-20-02 - Received an automated response stating that my email had been
               accepted.
    
    
    Vulnerability:
    --------------------
    stat.pl neglects to filter any input to the script from visitors to the
    monitored webpages.  The stat.pl then writes the visitors information
    to an html document called stat.html.  If the visitor was to modify their
    HTTP_USER_AGENT or their HTTP_REFERER and add some scripting to either
    one, that scripting would be executed by whomever visited the stat.html
    document.
    
    
    Fix:
    -------
      No fix has been offered by the vendor as of the writing of this advisory.
    
      Proper filtering of input would not be hard to implement, if one doesnt 
    mind
      rewriting parts of the code.
    
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Run this binary.  Where is the source?  Dont worry, its ok.  HEY!  WHERE DID 
    / GO?
