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
Lepide Auditor Suite createdb Web Console Database Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit
The application allows an attacker to specify a server to perform authentication. That server also allows to execute controlled SQL directly against the database.
This module abuses of the previous vulnerabilities in order execute an agent as SYSTEM.
Lexmark Universal Printer Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The Lexmark Universal Print Driver version 2.15.1.0 and below, G2 driver 2.7.1.0 and below, G3 driver 3.2.0.0 and below, and G4 driver 4.2.1.0 and below are affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability. A standard low priviliged user can use the driver to execute a DLL of their choosing during the add printer process, resulting in escalation of privileges to SYSTEM.
LG Device Manager LHA Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The LHA.sys driver before 1.1.1811.2101 in LG Device Manager exposes functionality that allows low-privileged users to read and write arbitrary physical memory via specially crafted IOCTL requests and elevate system privileges. This occurs because the device object has an associated symbolic link and an open DACL
Libdbus DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS Variable Local Privilege Escalation
Libdbus 1.5.x and earlier, when used in setuid processes not clearing the environment variables, allows local users to gain privileges and execute arbitrary code via the DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable.
LibreOffice LibreLogo Python Global Event Scripting Vulnerability Exploit
By abusing document's event feature in LibreOffice and the LibreLogo script, an attacker can execute arbitrary python code from within a malicious document silently, without user warning.
This module performs a bypass of CVE-2019-9848 by using global script events.
By abusing document's event feature in LibreOffice and the LibreLogo script, an attacker can execute arbitrary python code from within a malicious document silently, without user warning.
By abusing document's event feature in LibreOffice and the LibreLogo script, an attacker can execute arbitrary python code from within a malicious document silently, without user warning.
Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Liferay Portal prior to 7.2.1 CE GA2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via JSON web services (JSONWS).

Linux abrt sosreport Symlink Privilege Escalation Exploit
The sosreport program, a component of the ABRT bug reporting system used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, does not handle symbolic links correctly when writing core dumps of ABRT programs to the ABRT dump directory (/var/tmp/abrt). This can be leveraged by local unprivileged attackers to gain root privileges on vulnerable systems.
Linux apport Race Condition Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Linux apport application. The apport application can be forced to drop privileges to uid 0 and write a corefile anywhere on the system. This can be used to write a corefile with crafted contents in a suitable location to gain root privileges.
Linux apport Race Condition Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Linux apport application. The apport application can be forced to drop privileges to uid 0 and write a corefile anywhere on the system. This can be used to write a corefile with crafted contents in a suitable location to gain root privileges.
This updates improves the way some files are cleaned up after a failed exploitation attempt.
Linux Blueman D-Bus Service EnableNetwork Privilege Escalation Exploit
The EnableNetwork method in the org.blueman.Mechanism D-Bus service of Blueman, a Bluetooth Manager, receives untrusted Python code provided by unprivileged users and evaluates it as root.
This can be leveraged by a local unprivileged attacker to gain root privileges.
Linux fusermount Environment Variable Privilege Escalation Exploit
The 'fusermount' binary, part of the FUSE system in Linux, executes the /bin/mount binary with ruid set to 0 without clearing the environment variables provided by unprivileged users.
This flaw can be leveraged by local unprivileged users to gain root privileges by leveraging the functionality provided by the LIBMOUNT_MTAB environment variable to overwrite an arbitrary file on the affected system.
Linux Kernel AF_PACKET Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a race condition vulnerability in the Linux Kernel via AF_PACKET sockets.
WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.
Linux Kernel compat_alloc_user_space Privilege Escalation Exploit
The "compat_alloc_user_space" function, which belongs to the 32-bit compatibility layer for 64-bit versions of Linux, can produce a stack pointer underflow when it's called with an arbitrary length input. This vulnerability can be used by local unprivileged users to corrupt the kernel memory in order to gain root privileges.
Linux Kernel CONFIG_X86_X32 Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Linux Kernel. The X86_X32 recvmmsg syscall does not properly sanitize the timeout pointer passed from userspace and allows a local attacker to escalate privileges.
