Apache ActiveMQ 5.11.1 Directory Traversal / Shell Upload

This Metasploit module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2015-1830) in Apache ActiveMQ versions 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/<payload>.jsp on the target in order to trigger the payload and obtain a shell.
