to their own Facebook Pixel console and steal metric data for a site. Worse yet, since there is no sanitization
on the settings that are stored, an attacker could inject malicious JavaScript into the setting values.
These values would then be reflected on the settings page, causing the code to execute in a site administrator's browser
while accessing the settings page.
Successful exploitation would allow an attacker to inject malicious backdoors into theme files or create
new administrative user accounts that could be used for complete site takeover.");
