{"id":"CVE-2015-10141","details":"An unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability exists within Xdebug versions 2.5.5 and earlier, a PHP debugging extension developed by Derick Rethans. When remote debugging is enabled, Xdebug listens on port 9000 and accepts debugger protocol commands without authentication. An attacker can send a crafted eval command over this interface to execute arbitrary PHP code, which may invoke system-level functions such as system() or passthru(). This results in full compromise of the host under the privileges of the web server user.","modified":"2026-04-10T03:45:05.052309Z","published":"2025-07-23T14:15:31Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/xdebug-remote-debugger-unauth-os-command-execution"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://kirtixs.com/blog/2015/11/13/xpwn-exploiting-xdebug-enabled-servers/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://web.archive.org/web/20231226215418/https://paper.seebug.org/397/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/44568"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.fortiguard.com/encyclopedia/ips/46000"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://xdebug.org/"}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
