# CVE-2015-5723: Doctrine Security Misconfiguration Vulnerability > Local attackers can execute arbitrary code and escalate privileges if the application uses a zero umask, due to world-writable cache directories in Doctrine libraries. - **Severity:** High 7.8 (`CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`) - **Exploited in the wild:** Not known - **Login needed:** Any signed-in user - **Attackable:** Local or same network only - **Victim action needed:** Not needed - **Fix available:** Yes - **Published:** 7 Jun 2016 - **Updated:** 6 Aug 2024 - **Also known as:** CLSA-2026-1787221779, DEBIAN-CVE-2015-5723, GHSA-pw5c-xqf2-6xc2, MGASA-2015-0391 ## What is CVE-2015-5723? CVE-2015-5723 is a high-severity vulnerability in Debian Debian Linux, published on 7 Jun 2016. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim. ### Official description Doctrine Annotations before 1.2.7, Cache before 1.3.2 and 1.4.x before 1.4.2, Common before 2.4.3 and 2.5.x before 2.5.1, ORM before 2.4.8 or 2.5.x before 2.5.1, MongoDB ODM before 1.0.2, and MongoDB ODM Bundle before 3.0.1 use world-writable permissions for cache directories, which allows local users to execute arbitrary PHP code with additional privileges by leveraging an application with the umask set to 0 and that executes cache entries as code.

Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies. 2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
