CVE-2025-0520 is a critical unrestricted file upload vulnerability in ShowDoc affecting versions prior to 2.8.7. The flaw is caused by improper validation of uploaded file extensions, which allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload arbitrary PHP files to a vulnerable ShowDoc instance. Because the application runs on PHP, the uploaded server-side script can then be executed by the web server, enabling remote code execution. The issue has also been associated with CNVD-2020-26585 and has been reported as actively exploited in the wild.
