The two below CVE issues have recently been fixed in Debian squeeze-lts:

 opens URLs in a user's preferred application, to execute arbitrary
 commands remotely.

CVE-2015-1877

 Jiri Horner discovered a way to cause xdg-open, a tool that automatically
 opens URLs in a user's preferred application, to execute arbitrary
 commands remotely.

 This problem only affects /bin/sh implementations that don't sanitize
 local variables. Dash, which is the default /bin/sh in Debian is
 affected. Bash as /bin/sh is known to be unaffected.
