{"id":"UBUNTU-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":"2026-05-20T16:03:09.073881844Z","published":"2025-07-23T14:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2015-10141"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2015-10141"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2015-10141"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"http://web.archive.org/web/20231226215418/https://paper.seebug.org/397/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://kirtixs.com/blog/2015/11/13/xpwn-exploiting-xdebug-enabled-servers/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/44568"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.fortiguard.com/encyclopedia/ips/46000"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/xdebug-remote-debugger-unauth-os-command-execution"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://xdebug.org/"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"xdebug","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xdebug?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.3.3-1ubuntu1","2.3.3-2","2.3.3-3","2.4.0~rc3-1","2.4.0~rc4-1","2.4.0~rc4-1ubuntu1","2.4.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"php-xdebug","binary_version":"2.4.0-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2015/UBUNTU-CVE-2015-10141.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xdebug","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xdebug?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.5.5-3","2.6.0-0ubuntu1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"php-xdebug","binary_version":"2.6.0-0ubuntu1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2015/UBUNTU-CVE-2015-10141.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xdebug","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xdebug?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.7.2+2.5.5-1build1","2.9.2+2.8.1+2.5.5-1","2.9.2+2.8.1+2.5.5-1build1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.9.2+2.8.1+2.5.5-1build1","binary_name":"php-xdebug"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2015/UBUNTU-CVE-2015-10141.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xdebug","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xdebug?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.0.3+2.9.8+2.8.1+2.5.5-0+deb11u1build1","3.0.3+2.9.8+2.8.1+2.5.5-0+deb11u1build2","3.1.1+2.9.8+2.8.1+2.5.5-3","3.1.2+2.9.8+2.8.1+2.5.5-3","3.1.2+2.9.8+2.8.1+2.5.5-4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"php-xdebug","binary_version":"3.1.2+2.9.8+2.8.1+2.5.5-4"},{"binary_name":"php8.1-xdebug","binary_version":"3.1.2+2.9.8+2.8.1+2.5.5-4"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2015/UBUNTU-CVE-2015-10141.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xdebug","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xdebug?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.2.0+3.1.6+2.9.8+2.8.1+2.5.5-3build1","3.2.0+3.1.6+2.9.8+2.8.1+2.5.5-3ubuntu1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"php-xdebug","binary_version":"3.2.0+3.1.6+2.9.8+2.8.1+2.5.5-3ubuntu1"},{"binary_version":"3.2.0+3.1.6+2.9.8+2.8.1+2.5.5-3ubuntu1","binary_name":"php8.3-xdebug"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2015/UBUNTU-CVE-2015-10141.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xdebug","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xdebug?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.4.2-1","3.4.3-1","3.4.5-1","3.4.5-2","3.4.5-3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"3.4.5-3","binary_name":"php-xdebug"},{"binary_name":"php8.4-xdebug","binary_version":"3.4.5-3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2015/UBUNTU-CVE-2015-10141.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xdebug","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xdebug?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.4.5-3","3.5.0-0ubuntu3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"php-xdebug","binary_version":"3.5.0-0ubuntu3"},{"binary_version":"3.5.0-0ubuntu3","binary_name":"php8.5-xdebug"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2015/UBUNTU-CVE-2015-10141.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
