Can I upgrade Awstats my self?

#######################
Warning, a security hole was recently found in AWStats versions from 5.0 to 6.3 (Partially fixed in 6.3) when AWStats is used as a CGI: A remote user can execute arbitrary commands on your server using permissions of your web server user (in most cases user "nobody").
If you use AWStats with a more recent version or if AWStats is not available as a CGI, you are safe. If not, it is highly recommanded to upgrade to 6.4 version that fix all known security holes.

In Plesk it is not avaible as CGI
 
Plesk disable AWStats CGI scripting in Plesk 7.0 and currently in 7.5, so You may not worry about new version AWstats. Upgrade from AWstats 6.0 to 6.3 isn't very trivial.
 
7.5.2 is in testing stage now. I think the release will appear in 1-2 weeks.
