Description

This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2015-1830) in Apache
ActiveMQ 5.x before 5.11.2 for Windows.

The module tries to upload a JSP payload to the /admin directory via the traversal
path /fileserver/..\admin\ using an HTTP PUT request with the default ActiveMQ
credentials admin:admin (or other credentials provided by the user). It then issues
an HTTP GET request to /admin/.jsp on the target in order to trigger the
payload and obtain a shell.
