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.

Product Name
WebHMI_XSS
WebHMI 4.0.7348 suffers from persistent cross site scripting vulnerability. It is located on the page for creating a new connection. An attacker with administrator rights can create a new connection and specify an xss injection in the name field. XSS injection will be triggered on the 'host/setup/registers/list.php' page

Samba SMBv1 Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability Checker
A SMB1 Client with write access to a share can cause server memory contents to be written into a file or printer.
This module verifies the Mark Of The Web Vulnerability.
Windows ZIP extraction bug (CVE-2022-41049) lets attackers craft ZIP files, which evade warnings on attempts to execute packaged files, even if ZIP file was downloaded from the Internet.
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability [CWE-122] in FortiOS version 7.2.4 and below, version 7.0.11 and below, version 6.4.12 and below, version 6.0.16 and below and FortiProxy version 7.2.3 and below, version 7.0.9 and below, version 2.0.12 and below, version 1.2 all versions, version 1.1 all versions SSL-VPN may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or commands via specifically crafted requests. This module checks the vulnerability exploiting the heap overflow and doing a Welch's t-test between two time datasets.
This module will send various malformed messages over ssl to the target service in order to detect a discrepancy between the server's responses, if this is the case, it will mark said target as vulnerable to this kind of attacks (ROBOT attack)
Atlassian Confluence SafeParametersInterceptor Broken Access Control Vulnerability Checker
A broken access control vulnerability in Atlassian Confluence allows unauthenticated remote attackers to create unauthorized Confluence administrator accounts and access Confluence instances.
Microsoft Windows Netlogon CVE-2020-1472 Vulnerability Checker
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when an attacker establishes a vulnerable Netlogon secure channel connection to a domain controller, using the Netlogon Remote Protocol (MS-NRPC), aka 'Netlogon Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'. This module tries to determine remotely, if the target host is either vulnerable to CVE-2020-1472 or not.
An encoding bypass in the webui_wsma_https endpoint in Cisco IOS XE allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute commands and configure the system through SOAP requests via the Web Service Management Agent (WMSA). This can be abused to create unauthorized local administrator accounts (user with privilege level 15) and log in with normal user access.
Atlassian Questions for Confluence Hardcoded Credentials Vulnerability Checker
Atlassian Questions for Confluence creates a Confluence user account with the username disabledsystemuser.
The disabledsystemuser account is created with a hardcoded password and is added to the confluence-users group, which allows viewing and editing all non-restricted pages within Confluence by default
A remote, unauthenticated attacker with knowledge of the hardcoded password could exploit this to log into Confluence and access any pages the confluence-users group has access to.
An improper authorization vulnerability in Atlassian Confluence allows unauthenticated remote attackers to restore the database of the instance. This allows the creation of unauthorized administrator accounts and the later installation of malicious plugins that allow the execution of OS system commands.
IBM DB2 Web Query for IBM i Log4shell Vulnerability Checker
JNDI features used in configuration, log messages, and parameters present in Apache Log4j2 do not protect against attacker controlled LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints. This library, used by IBM DB2 Web Query for IBM i, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute system commands.
This module verifies the Mark Of The Web Vulnerability.
