Library of expert validated exploits for safe and effective pen tests
Exploit development can be an advanced penetration testing skill that takes time to master. Additionally, when on a job, pen testers often don’t have the resources to create a new exploit. Many resort to searching for and using pre-written exploits that have not been tested and must go through the timely effort of quality assurance testing in order to ensure they are secure and effective.
Core Impact users can save time by finding all the up-to-date exploits they need in one place. We provide a robust library of exploits designed to enable pen testers to safely and efficiently conduct successful penetration tests. Whether written by our own internal team or by a third party like ExCraft, you can trust they have been thoroughly tested and validated by our experts.
The universe of vulnerabilities is huge and not all of them represent the same risk for the customers. Vulnerabilities do not all have the same level of criticality. Some may be easily exploitable by a low-level user, while others may not be exploitable at all. To increase the efficiency of the attacks and the quality of the exploits provided, the Core Impact team has developed selection criteria to prioritize its analysis and implementation. We determine which exploits warrant creation based on the following questions:
What are the most critical attacks from the attacker’s perspective?
What new vulnerabilities are more likely to be exploited in real attacks?
What exploits are the most valuable for Core Impact?
Once an exploit is approved, its priority order considers the following variables:
Vulnerability Properties: CVE, disclosure date, access mechanism and privileges needed.
Target Environment Setup: OS, application prevalence, version and special configurations needed.
Value Provided to Core Impact: Customer request, usage in multiple attacks, allows the installation of an agent, etc.
Technical Cost vs. Benefit: An analysis weighing the resources needed to build an exploit with the internal and external knowledge gained in its creation.
Each one of these variables has a different weight and provides a ranking of the potential exploits to be developed. Following those criteria, the top of the list would contain, for example, a vulnerability on Windows (most popular OS) that can be exploited remotely, without authentication and that provides super user privileges.
Correspondingly, a vulnerability on an application that is rarely installed, needs special configurations, and requires User Interaction, would be at the bottom.

Microsoft Windows Common Log File System Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
The Common Log File System Driver (clfs.sys) present in Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to a memory corruption vulnerability. This module allows a local unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by creating a specially crafted base log file.
Veeam Backup and Replication Backup Service Remote Code Execution Exploit
A vulnerability in the Backup Service of Veeam Backup and Replication component allows encrypted credentials stored in the configuration database to be obtained. This may lead to gaining access to the backup infrastructure hosts.
This update adds a module that checks the vulnerability and retrieves all the credentials and another module to deploy an agent.
This module exploits an information disclosure vulnerability, a remote file download vulnerability and a directory traversal vulnerability in VMware vRealize Log Insight to deploy an agent with root privileges.
A command injection vulnerability allows an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code on a server running Cacti, if a specific data source was selected for any monitored device.

Cacti OS Command Injection Exploit
A command injection vulnerability allows an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code on a server running Cacti, if a specific data source was selected for any monitored device.
Tftpd64 is a free, lighweight, opensource, IPv6 ready application which includes DHCP, TFTP, DNS, SNTP and Syslog servers as well as a TFTP client. The TFTP client and server are fully compatible with TFTP option support (tsize, blocksize and timeout), which allow the maximum performance when transferring the data. Some extended features such as directory facility, security tuning, interface filtering; progress bars and early acknowledgments enhance usefulness and throughput of the TFTP protocol for both client and server.
This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them.

Windows Common Log File System Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
The cause of the vulnerability is due to the lack of a strict bounds check for the SignaturesOffset field in the Base Block for the base log file (BLF) in CLFS.sys. This issue can lead to a Privilege Escalation.This version adds support for Windows 10 and some Windows servers.
Microsoft Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
The Ancillary Function Driver (AFD.sys) present in Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to an arbitrary memory overwrite. This module allows a local unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by sending a specially crafted IOCTL to the vulnerable driver.
A vulnerability in the library Apache Santuario SAML SSO (Single Sign-On) method used by Zoho ManageEngine products allows to unauthenticated remote code attackers to execute system commands.

The cause of the vulnerability is due to the lack of a strict bounds check for the SignaturesOffset field in the Base Block for the base log file (BLF) in CLFS.sys. This issue can lead to a Privilege Escalation.
mySCADA myPRO 7 allows remote attackers to discover all ProjectIDs in a project by sending all of the prj parameter values from 870000 to 875000 requests to TCP port 11010.
Microsoft Windows NTLM Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit (LocalPotato)
This module exploits a design flaw in Microsoft Windows. The NTLM reflection attack in local authentication allows a local attacker to write arbitrary files and get SYSTEM privileges.
Fortra (formerly, HelpSystems) GoAnywhere MFT suffers from a pre-authentication command injection vulnerability in the License Response Servlet due to deserializing an arbitrary attacker-controlled object. This issue was patched in version 7.1.2.
