          This module exploits a Remote Code Execution vulnerability in the BigUp plugin of SPIP.
          The vulnerability lies in the `lister_fichiers_par_champs` function, which is triggered
          when the `bigup_retrouver_fichiers` parameter is set to any value. By exploiting the improper
          handling of multipart form data in file uploads, an attacker can inject and execute
          arbitrary PHP code on the target server.

          This critical vulnerability affects all versions of SPIP from 4.0 up to and including
          4.3.1, 4.2.15, and 4.1.17. It allows unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary code
          remotely via the public interface. The vulnerability has been patched in versions
          4.3.2, 4.2.16, and 4.1.18.
