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.

WordPress PHPMailer Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a PHPMailer vulnerability in WordPress abusing a Lost Password recovery action and installs an agent.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Zyxel NWA-1100-NH Command Injection
A command injection vulnerability in the web interface of the Zyxel NWA-1100-NH firmware could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on the device.
FLIR Systems FLIR Brickstream 3D+ Unauthenticated Config Download File Disclosure
FLIR Systems FLIR Brickstream 3D+ Unauthenticated Config Download File Disclosure, Security Bypass, Exposure of System Information, Exposure of Sensitive Information
A broken access control vulnerability in Atlassian Confluence allows unauthenticated remote attackers to create unauthorized Confluence administrator accounts and access Confluence instances. This allows to execute system commands by installing a malicious Servlet plugin JAR file.
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified, where an attacker with a specially crafted packet could overflow the fixed length buffer. This could allow remote code execution.
AMD Radeon Graphics Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
An improper privilege management in the AMD Radeon Graphics driver may allow an authenticated attacker to craft an IOCTL request to gain I/O control over arbitrary hardware ports or physical addresses resulting in a potential arbitrary code execution.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS16-135) Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in win32k.sys. By forcing an invalid combination of window style and window menu a local attacker can trigger a kernel arbitrary write and elevate privileges.
PowerFolder Server is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of a deserialization vulnerability present in the commons-collections Java library.
Microsoft Windows MRXDAV.SYS WebDav Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS16-016)
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows MRXDAV.SYS driver. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges in a vulnerable target.
The REST plugin in the Apache Struts 2 framework is prone to a remote code execution vulnerability when evaluating OGNL expressions when Dynamic Method Invocation is enabled.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Java code on the affected server.
This module exploits the vulnerability in any web application built on top of vulnerable versions of Apache Struts 2 making use of the REST plugin with the Dynamic Method Invocation feature enabled.
The specific flaw exists within the edit_lf_process resource of the Reprise License Manager service. The issue lies in the ability to write arbitrary files with controlled data. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of SYSTEM.
This update introduces more accurate information about vulnerable targets.
