CVE-2015-1830 is a critical directory traversal vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ versions 5.0.0 through 5.11.1 on Windows. The flaw exists in the fileserver upload/download functionality for blob messages, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to create JSP files in arbitrary directories via crafted requests. This enables attackers to upload web shells or other malicious files to the admin console, leading to remote code execution (RCE). The vulnerability is classified as CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory) and is only exploitable on Windows platforms.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting Apache ActiveMQ 5.x (prior to 5.11.2) on Windows, exploiting CVE-2015-1830. The exploit leverages a directory traversal vulnerability in the file upload functionality, allowing an attacker to upload a JSP payload to the /admin directory using a crafted HTTP PUT request. Default credentials (admin:admin) are used for authentication, but custom credentials can be supplied. After uploading, the module triggers the payload via an HTTP GET request to /admin/<payload>.jsp, resulting in remote code execution (typically a reverse shell). The module includes a check method to verify vulnerability and cleans up test files. The structure is typical for Metasploit modules, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file under modules/exploits/windows/http/. The exploit is weaponized, supporting customizable payloads and automated exploitation.
