PHP Web Statistik 1.4 Multiple Vulnerabilities - Exploit-DB

On November 19, 2005, Francesco “aScii” Ongaro published a comprehensive advisory on multiple critical vulnerabilities found in PHP Web Statistik 1.4, subsequently archived by Exploit-DB. The technical analysis, originally published on USH.it, documents six different types of vulnerabilities: XSS through the unvalidated lastnumber parameter, exposure of the stat.cfg configuration file, direct access to the log database, application-level denial of service, persistent XSS through the referer field, and possible disk quota abuse. The advisory includes practical exploit examples, responsible disclosure timeline with vendor response in 48 hours, and technical recommendations for mitigation. The document represents an example of in-depth research in web application security, with Ongaro credited as discoverer and copyright holder.
