Discuz! X5.0 releases 20260320 through 20260501 contain a local file inclusion vulnerability that allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary code by importing a specially crafted plugin configuration containing path traversal sequences in the directory attribute. Attackers can trigger an exception during plugin installation to bypass sanitization routines, causing malicious paths to be stored unsanitized and subsequently passed to include(), which combined with file upload functionality escalates to arbitrary code execution in the context of the web server user.

| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 4.0 vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N is internally consistent with the description: network-reachable admin panel, low complexity once authenticated, no user interaction, and full CIA impact on the web server. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has compromised or social-engineered a Discuz! X5.0 administrator account uploads an attacker-controlled file (for example an avatar or attachment containing PHP) through the standard upload features, then submits a malicious plugin configuration whose 'directory' attribute contains '../' sequences pointing back to the uploaded file. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, so the primary action is to upgrade to a Discuz! … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
