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.

H3C Magic R100 Router remote stack overflow (DoS)
H3C Magic R100 R100V100R005 was discovered to contain a stack overflow vulnerability via the CMD parameter at /goform/aspForm.
A path traversal attack in web interfaces of Netgear RAX35, RAX38, and RAX40 routers before v1.0.4.102, allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive restricted information, such as forbidden files of the web application, via sending a specially crafted HTTP packet.
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.
The vulnerability is caused due to the usage of vulnerable collection of libraries that are part of DCMTK Toolkit, specifically the parser for the DICOM Upper Layer Protocol or DUL.
Buffer overflow/underflow can be triggered when sending and processing wrong length of ACSE data structure received over the network by the DICOM Store-SCP service.
Microsoft Windows LSASS Memory Corruption DoS (MS16-137)
This module exploits an exceptcional condition in "lsasrv.dll" by sending a crafted "Session Setup Request" SMBv1 or SMBv2 packet that is affected during the NTML Auth message.
Atlassian Bamboo is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of a deserialization vulnerability present in the commons-collections Java library.
By exploiting known methods, it is possible to remotely load a InvokerTransformer Java class, which allows the execution of system commands.
MSI Ambient Link Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Multiple stack buffer overflows were found in the MSI AmbientLink MsIo64 driver when processing IoControlCode (IOCTL) 0x80102040, 0x80102044, 0x80102050, 0x80102054. Local attackers, including low integrity processes, can exploit these vulnerabilities and consequently gain NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges.
Microsoft Windows WalletService Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows WalletService handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute code with elevated permissions.
Microsoft Windows Ws2ifsl UaF Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that ws2ifsl.sys (Winsock) handles objects in memory, aka 'Windows Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'
Linux PTRACE_TRACEME Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
In the Linux kernel before 5.1.17, ptrace_link in kernel/ptrace.c mishandles the recording of the credentials of a process that wants to create a ptrace relationship, which allows local users to obtain root access by leveraging certain scenarios with a parent-child process relationship, where a parent drops privileges and calls execve (potentially allowing control by an attacker).
Windows Win32k Elevation Of Privilege Exploit (CVE-2019-0803) 2
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows when the Win32k component fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and take control of an affected system.
Microsoft Windows DCOM-RPC NTLM Reflection Elevation of Privilege Exploit
This update adds an exploit which implements the Rotten Potato technique to perform a Local Privilege Escalation.
It leverages on local DCOM DCE/RPC connections that can be reflected back to a listening TCP socket allowing access to an NTLM authentication challenge for LocalSystem user which can be replayed to the local DCOM activation service. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass security and gain elevated privileges on a targeted system.
Windows Common Log File System Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The cause of the vulnerability is due to the lack of a strict bounds check for the SignaturesOffset field in the Base Block for the base log file (BLF) in CLFS.sys. This issue can lead to a Privilege Escalation.
Microsoft Windows WPAD Elevation of Privilege Exploit (MS16-077)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows when the Web Proxy Auto Discovery (WPAD) protocol falls back to a vulnerable proxy discovery process. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass security and gain elevated privileges on a targeted system.
Incorrect signedness comparison in the ioctl handler of the atkbd keyboard driver in the FreeBSD kernel can be leveraged by a local unprivileged user to overwrite a portion of the kernel memory, thus allowing the attacker to gain root privileges on the affected system.
Sudo Setcmnd Heap Buffer Overflow Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Sudo before 1.9.5p2 has a Heap-based Buffer Overflow, allowing privilege escalation to root via "sudoedit -s" and a command-line argument that ends with a single backslash character.
Cisco AnyConnect Posture Security Service TOCTOU Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The Security Service of Cisco AnyConnect Posture (HostScan) for Windows incorrectly restricts access to internal IPC commands. This could enable low-privileged users to achieve NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges by sending crafted IPC commands.
This module bypasses CVE-2021-1366 by abusing a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition in the priv_file_copy command.
