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.

tiki-graph_formula.php in TikiWiki 1.9.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via PHP sequences in the f array parameter, which will be processed by the create_function.
A cellular router is a network device that is usually used to provide routing and data transmission functions for mobile network connections.They usually use cellular network technologies, such as 4G LTE or 5G, to connect to the Internet.Mobile routers are different from traditional wired routers because they do not rely on a fixed Internet connection, but use wireless signals to access the network.
An unrestricted file upload vulnerability in jhot.php in TikiWiki 1.9.4 Sirius and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a filepath parameter that contains a filename with a .php extension, which is uploaded to the img/wiki/ directory.
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Document Conversions Exploit
Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the Document Conversions Launcher Service in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, when the Document Conversions Load Balancer Service is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SOAP request to TCP port 8082
IBM Lotus Domino BMP parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit Update 2
IBM Domino is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking when parsing BMP images. By sending a specially-crafted bitmap image, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or make the application crash.
The specific flaw exists within LDAP handling functionality which listens by default on TCP port 389. The vulnerable code blindly copies attacker supplied data from a specially formatted LDAP ModifyRequest packet to a fixed length stack buffer.
The AVG Administration Server is vulnerable to arbitrary configuration settings. Due to insufficient input validation, an attacker can use the StoreServerConfig command (command id 0x27) to set the value of the ClientLibraryName parameter to a UNC path. The provided value can be a path to a network share containing a malicious .dll file. This .dll file will be executed in the context of the AVG Administration Server service which runs as SYSTEM.
This module exploit three different vulnerabilities in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) in order to install an agent on a vunlerable target machine.
CVE-2015-1486 allows unauthenticated attackers access to SEPM.
CVE-2015-1487 allows reading and writing arbitrary files, resulting in the execution of arbitrary commands with 'NT Service\semsrv' privileges.
CVE-2015-1489 allows the execution of arbitrary OS commands with 'NT Authority\SYSTEM' privileges.
Avaya IP Office Customer Call Reporter ImageUpload Exploit
The specific flaw exists because Avaya IP Office Customer Call Reporter allows to upload files to the webserver through ImageUpload.ashx. The uploaded files will not be stripped of their file extensions and the directory where they are saved has no scripting restrictions.
HP OpenView NNM OvJavaLocale Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the webappmon.exe CGI application, a component of HP OpenView Network Node Manager, by sending an HTTP request with an invalid value for the OvJavaLocale parameter.
The Apache HTTP Server, commonly referred to as Apache, is a popular open source web server software. mod_isapi is a core module of the Apache package that implements the Internet Server extension API. The extension allows Apache to serve Internet Server extensions (ISAPI .dll modules) for Microsoft Windows based hosts. By sending a specially crafted request followed by a reset packet it is possible to trigger a vulnerability in Apache mod_isapi that will unload the target ISAPI module from memory. However function pointers still remain in memory and are called when
This exploit forces the IIS process inetinfo.exe to throw an unhandled exception. IIS' behavior depends on the operating system version, its configuration and the system-wide debugger specified in the registry.
This update adds more supported platforms to the exploit.
The BlogAPI module does not validate the extension of files that it is used to upload, enabling users with the "administer content with blog api" permission to upload harmful files. This module uploads an IMPACT agent, creates a php file to execute the agent and then makes a request to the file. The result is an IMPACT agent running on the webserver.
Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Protocol BlueKeep DoS Update
A Denial of Service exists in Remote Desktop Services formerly known as Terminal Services when an unauthenticated attacker connects to the target system using RDP and sends specially crafted requests.
This update corrects wrong category specification.
AVEVA InduSoft Web Studio Remote Command Injection Exploit
Unauthenticated remote command injection vulnerability in Indusoft Web Studio 8.1 SP2. The vulnerability is exercised via the custom remote agent protocol that is typically found on port 1234 or 51234. An attacker can issue a specially crafted command 66 which causes IWS to load a DB connection file off of a network share using SMB. The DB file can contain OS commands that will be executed at the privilege level used by IWS.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the 0x2711 IOCTL in the webvrpcs process. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call.
MSRPC Microsoft Host Integration Remote Command Execution Exploit (MS08-059)
This module exploits a remote command injection in the SNA RPC service included in Microsoft Host Integration Server. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer.
