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 Sysmon Arbitrary File Delete Write Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Vulnerability is in code responsible for ClipboardChange event that can be reached through RPC. Local users can send data to RPC server which will then be written in Sysmon directory.
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.
Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold TFTP Server Directory Traversal 0day
Free TFTP Server Our Free TFTP Server allows you to save time and effort while uploading and downloading files. Use it to transfer operating system software or device configuration files across computers and devices in your network.
A command injection vulnerability has been found on D-Link DIR-823G devices with firmware version 1.02B03 that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands through well-designed /HNAP1 requests. Before the HNAP API function can process the request, the system function executes an untrusted command that triggers the vulnerability.
Due to an unauthenticated endpoint that leverages XStream for input serialization in VMware NSX Manager, an attacker can get remote code execution in the context of 'root' user account on the appliance.

Impact
Linux Kernel Netfilter Set Element Init TC HBO Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A type confusion bug in nft_set_elem_init (leading to a buffer overflow) could be used by a local attacker to escalate privileges, a different vulnerability than CVE-2022-32250. (The attacker can obtain root access, but must start with an unprivileged user namespace to obtain CAP_NET_ADMIN access.) This can be fixed in nft_setelem_parse_data in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c.
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.
An authentication bypass vulnerability present in com.vmware.vcops.ui.util.MainPortalFilter class, an information disclosure vulnerability present in com.vmware.vcops.ui.action.SupportLogsAction and a local privilege escalation in the generateSupportBundle.py script; allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute system commands as root in VMware vRealize Operations Manager by using a dashboard shared link.
