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.

Impact
IAX2 truncated header vulnerability DoS
This module sends a series of UDP packets containing malformed IAX2 requests that will crash vulnerable listening IAX clients. If a broadcast IP address is specified, an entire subnetwork can be attacked in a single run.
IBM Access Support GetXMLValue ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability has been identified in IBM Access Support ActiveX, which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise an affected system. This issue is caused by a buffer overflow error in the "IbmEgath.dll" module when processing malformed data passed to the "GetXMLValue()" method, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page.
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in IBM Cognos Express by using an undocumented user account to upload an arbitrary .WAR file.
IBM Cognos tm1admsd Multiple Operations Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability exists within the tm1admsd.exe component Of IBM Cognos TM1. This process listens on TCP port 5498 by default. Multiple opcodes fail to validate user supplied length and data fields before copying their contents to a fixed length buffer on the stack.
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.
IBM Director CIM Server Privilege Escalation Exploit
IBM Director is prone to a privilege-escalation vulnerability that affects the CIM server. Attackers can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges in the context of the CIM server process.
IBM Director CIM Server Remote Code Execution Exploit
IBM Director is prone to a remote code execution vulnerability that affects the CIM server. Attackers can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges in the context of the CIM server process.
IBM i Access Client Solutions Java DLL hijacking Exploit
IBM i Access Family could allows to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by DLL search order hijacking vulnerability. By placing a specially crafted file in a compromised folder, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
IBM i Distributed Data Management Remote CL Command Injection Exploit
An remote CL Command Injection on IBM i DDM Service allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute CL commands in the context of the QUSER user account.

IBM i Distributed Data Management Remote CL Command Injection Exploit Update
An remote CL Command Injection on IBM i DDM Service allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute CL commands in the context of the QUSER user account.
This update adds support for SSL services and an extra exploit stage
IBM Informix librpc Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the RPC protocol parsing library (librpc.dll) included on IBM Informix Dynamic Server by sending a specially crafted authentication packet to the 36890/TCP port.
IBM Informix Open Admin Tool SOAP welcomeServer PHP Remote Code Execution Exploit
IBM Informix Open Admin Tool is vulnerable to an unauthenticated php remote code execution, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary php code in the system.
IBM Informix Products Setnet32 Utility NFX Buffer Overflow Exploit
Multiple IBM Informix products are prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the software fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
IBM Installation Manager URI Handler Argument Injection Exploit
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by instantiating the "iim" uri handler with a malicious DLL(impact.dll) as parameter.
IBM Installation Manager URI Handler Argument Injection Exploit Update
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by instantiating the "iim" uri handler with a malicious DLL(impact.dll) as parameter. This update adds WEBDav support.
IBM Lotus Domino BMP parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit
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.
