is awstats safe?

hi,

I was just thinking about installing awstats to my server, and today i found in my log that someone trying to access to awstats on my server with this link:

/awstats/awstats.pl?configdir=|echo;echo;id;echo;echo|

the ip of this person is 207.58.136.57 which is traced back to a vps box at:
vps.stacks-coins.com

http://whois.sc/vps.stacks-coins.com

I am wondering what this person was trying to do?
