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.

Microsoft Message Queuing Denial of Service Vulnerability Exploit Update
This update adds the CVE-2023-21554 to the vulnerabilities exploited by the module. Also Windows Server 2019 was added to supported systems.
Microsoft Streaming Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists due to the MS KS Server kernel module allow mapping arbitrary memory addresses to user mode. The vulnerability could allow an attacker to run code with elevated privileges.
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.
Arcserve UDP from version 7.0 to 9.0 allows authentication bypass. The method getVersionInfo in WebServiceImpl/services/FlashServiceImpl exposes the AuthUUID token. This token can be used at /WebServiceImpl/services/VirtualStandbyServiceImpl to obtain a valid session. It is also possible to obtain administrator credentials.

Windows File History Service FHSVC Elevation of Privilege Exploit
A vulnerability exists in the file history service, which runs as system, and can be exploited to elevate from ordinary users to system privileges.
VMWare Aria Operations for Networks evictPublishedSupportBundles Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
Unauthenticated OS Command Injection in evictPublishedSupportBundles function of ScriptUtils class of VMWare Aria Operations for Networks (aka vRealize Network Insight)
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Windows Error Reporting Local Privilege Escalation Exploit BOF
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly impose security restrictions in Windows Error Reporting Service, which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation and allows a local user (non included in Administrator group) to escalate privileges to NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM.
A critical vulnerability, identified and cataloged as CVE-2023-38831, has been discovered. This vulnerability allows attackers to create modified RAR or ZIP archives that contain both harmless files and malicious ones. The malicious files are typically scripts located within a folder that shares the same name as the harmless file.

Sielco PolyEco Digital FM Transmitter 2.0.6 Unauthenticated Information Disclosure
Sielco PolyEco is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to improper access control enforcement. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request to gain access to sensitive information.
Microsoft Windows Win32k xxxEnableMenuItem Elevation of Privilege Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists due to the Windows kernel improperly validating input passed from user mode to the kernel. The vulnerability could allow an attacker to run code with elevated privileges.

Linux Kernel OverlayFS Logic Upper Attributes Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
On Ubuntu kernels carrying both c914c0e27eb0 and "UBUNTU: SAUCE: overlayfs: Skip permission checking for trusted.overlayfs.* xattrs", an unprivileged user may set privileged extended attributes on the mounted files, leading them to be set on the upper files without the appropriate security checks. This module exploits this in order to achieve LPE.
Citrix ADC and Gateway ns_aaa_gwtest_get_event_and_target_names Remote Code Execution Exploit
A stack buffer overflow in ns_aaa_gwtest_get_event_and_target_names function of nsppe process allows unauthenticated attacker to execute system commands as root via specially crafted HTTP GET request.
