The module loader used the same module name "NXCModule" for every file via spec_from_file_location(), causing sys.modules namespace collisions when multiple modules are loaded together (-M mod1 -M mod2). Each subsequent module overwrites the NXCModule class in the shared namespace, so modules loaded earlier resolve a different class than their own. This is the underlying mechanism behind multi-module ordering bugs reported in #879, #880, and #882. Changes: - Use unique module names (nxc_module_<filename>) and the modern module_from_spec() + exec_module() API instead of the deprecated load_module() to give each module its own isolated namespace - Cache loaded modules so each file is only parsed and executed once, regardless of how many targets are scanned (~60x faster than re-loading per target) - Extract shared loading logic into load_module_file() classmethod Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

NetExec - The Network Execution Tool
This project was initially created in 2015 by @byt3bl33d3r, known as CrackMapExec. In 2019 @mpgn_x64 started maintaining the project for the next 4 years, adding a lot of great tools and features. In September 2023 he retired from maintaining the project.
Along with many other contributors, we (NeffIsBack, Marshall-Hallenbeck, and zblurx) developed new features, bug fixes, and helped maintain the original project CrackMapExec. During this time, with both a private and public repository, community contributions were not easily merged into the project. The 6-8 month discrepancy between the code bases caused many development issues and heavily reduced community-driven development. With the end of mpgn's maintainer role, we (the remaining most active contributors) decided to maintain the project together as a fully free and open source project under the new name NetExec 🚀 Going forward, our intent is to maintain a community-driven and maintained project with regular updates for everyone to use.
