          This module can be used to upload a plugin on Atlassian Cloud via
          the pdkinstall development plugin as an unauthenticated attacker.
          The payload is uploaded as a JAR archive containing a servlet using
          a POST request to /crowd/admin/uploadplugin.action. The check command will
          check that the /crowd/admin/uploadplugin.action page exists and that it
          responds appropriately to determine if the target is vulnerable or not.
