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.

The specific flaw exists within the parsing of a pm3 project file. A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in a call to memcpy. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the process.
NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver R340 before 342.00 and R375 before 375.63 contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgDdiEscape ID 0x600000D where a value passed from a user to the driver is used without validation leading to escalation of privileges.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Apache Struts 2. The specific vulnerability relies on the Struts 1 plugin which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious field value passed in a raw message to the ActionMessage.
CMS Made Simple editusertag.php Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
CMS Made Simple (CMSMS) 2.1.6 allows remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary PHP code via the code parameter to admin/editusertag.php, related to the CreateTagFunction and CallUserTag functions.
Nitro Pro PDF Reader Javascript API Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits an unsafe Javascript API implemented in Nitro and Nitro Pro PDF Reader. The saveAs() Javascript API function allows for writing arbitrary files to the file system. Additionally, the launchURL() function allows an attacker to execute local files on the file system and bypass the security dialog.
Fuji Electric V Server VPR File Parsing Memory Corruption Exploit
The specific flaw exists within parsing of a VPR file. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data which can result in a memory corruption condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.
Microsoft Windows LNK Shortcut Automatic File Execution Exploit (CVE-2017-8464)
This vulnerability allows to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .LNK file, which is not properly handled during icon display in Windows Explorer or any other application that parses the icon of the shortcut. aka "LNK Remote Code Execution Vulnerability."
Linux Kernel UFO Memory Corruption Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in the Linux kernel. When building a UFO packet with MSG_MORE __ip_append_data() calls ip_ufo_append_data() to append. However in between two send() calls, the append path can be switched from UFO to non-UFO one, which leads to a memory corruption that can be used by an attacker to escalate privileges.
Mitsubishi Electric E-Designer BEComliSlave Driver Configuration Status_bit Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within processing of a driver configuration file when initializing the BEComliSlave component. When parsing the property Status_bit, the process fails to properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the Administrator

Linux Kernel packet_set_ring Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a signedness error condition in the Linux Kernel via PACKET_RX_RING option on an AF_PACKET socket with a TPACKET_V3 ring buffer version enabled.
The packet_set_ring function in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.6 does not properly validate certain block-size data, which allows local users to escalate privileges.
Insufficient input validation in the management interface of Solarwinds LEM Management Virtual Appliance v6.3.1 can be leveraged in order to execute arbitrary commands.
This can lead to shell access to the underlying operating system as root.
Linux Kernel DCCP_PKT_REQUEST Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a double-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel. The dccp_rcv_state_process function in net/dccp/input.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.11 mishandles DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet data structures in the LISTEN state, which allows local users to escalate privileges via an application that makes an IPV6_RECVPKTINFO setsockopt system call.
The specific flaw exists within processing of the AddStringUserProperty method within the UCCDRAW.UCCDrawCtrl.1 ActiveX control. The process does not properly validate a user-supplied value prior to dereferencing it as a pointer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.

Linux Kernel SO_SNDBUFFORCE Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a signedness issue in the Linux Kernel. The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.14 mishandles negative values of sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf, which allows local users to escalate privileges.
The specific flaw exists within the dbman.exe service, which listens on TCP port 2810 by default. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call.
