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.

Anzio Web Print Object Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the PWButtonXControl1.ocx control included in the Anzio Web Print Object application. The exploit is triggered when the mainuri property processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site.
A buffer overflow in AOL Desktop allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via crafted .RTX file.

Apache 2.4.49 Remote Code Execution
CVE-2021-41773 A flaw was found in a change made to path normalization in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.49. An attacker could use a path traversal attack to map URLs to files outside the expected document root. If files outside of the document root are not protected by "require all denied" these requests can succeed. Additionally this flaw could leak the source of interpreted files like CGI scripts. This issue only affects Apache 2.4.49 and not earlier versions.

Apache 2.4.49-50 Remote Code Execution
A Remote Code Execution exploit against Windows target with Apache 2.4.49-50 using CVE-2021-41773 and CVE-2021-42013
This update introduces an exploit for Apache ActiveMQ. The vulnerable versions present a path traversal vulnerability in default instalations that allows writing files to arbitrary filesystem locations, with the permissions of the user running the ActiveMQ process. This module leverages the vulnerability to install an agent. This exploit doesn't require authentication. The vulnerability is only present when the application is running in a Windows system.
Apache CouchDB Cluster Default Cookie Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
A default erlang cluster node cookie in Apache CouchDB allows attackers to access, gain admin privileges and execute system commands with couchdb user privileges.

Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal Bypass File Disclosure Exploit
A path traversal vulnerability in Apache HTTP server may allow an unauthenticated attacker to download system files through specially crafted HTTP resource requests.
Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal Exploit CVE-2021-41773
A path traversal vulnerability in Apache HTTP server may allow an unauthenticated attacker to download system files through specially crafted HTTP resource requests.
This module creates a large number of connections to the Apache server that are left opened preventing it from accepting legitimate requests. 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.

Apache James Log4shell Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit
Description: 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 Apache James, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute system commands.
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.
This module exploits an Off-by-one error in the LDAP scheme handling in the Rewrite module (mod_rewrite) in Apache and installs an agent into the target host.
A denial of service vulnerability has been found in the way the multiple overlapping ranges are handled by the Apache HTTPD server. 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.
A denial of service vulnerability has been found in the way the multiple overlapping ranges are handled by the Apache HTTPD server. This update fixes an issue when launching the module from an agent running in a Linux system.
Apache RocketMQ versions 5.1.0 and below are vulnerable to arbitrary code injection. Broker component of RocketMQ is leaked on the extranet and lack permission verification. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by using the update configuration function to execute commands as the system users that RocketMQ is running as.
Apache Solr is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an insecure deployment of the JMX/RMI service used to manage and monitor the Java Virtual Machine.
By exploiting known methods, it is possible to remotely load an MLet file from an attacker controlled web server that points at a jar file.
