Apache Flink JAR Upload Java Code Execution

This Metasploit module uses job functionality in the Apache Flink dashboard web interface to upload and execute a JAR file, leading to remote execution of arbitrary Java code as the web server user. This module has been tested successfully on Apache Flink versions: 1.9.3 on Ubuntu 18.04.4; 1.11.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.4; 1.9.3 on Windows 10; and 1.11.2 on Windows 10.
