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 Windows Remote Desktop Protocol BlueKeep Use After Free Exploit Update 2
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 VMware vRealize Operations Manager, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute system commands.
This module exploits a vulnerability in various GIGABYTE and AORUS branded utilities. The low level access drivers at the core of these utilities expose dangerous functionality to low privilege processes, a local attacker can read/write arbitrary kernel memory, which can be leveraged to elevate privileges.
This module allow to set a short name 8.3 of a file when you don't have write privileges to the directory where the file is located.The vulnerability exists due to NtfsSetShortNameInfo does not properly impose security restrictions in NTFS Set Short Name, which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation.
Microsoft Windows Win32k UaF xxxDestroyWindow Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
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.
D-Link Central WiFiManager FTP Server Default Credentials Remote PHP File Upload Vulnerability Exploit
D-Link Central WiFiManager has an FTP server listening on port 9000 by default with fixed credentials. This allows to unauthenticated users to upload and execute PHP files in the web root, leading to remote code execution.
An OGNL injection vulnerability present in ActionChainResult class of xwork jar file would allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a Confluence Server or Data Center instance.
A server side request forgery present in getKeyInfoData function of oracle.security.xmlsec.keys.RetrievalMethod and a deserialization vulnerability present in the ADF Faces framework allows a unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to execute system commands.
Microsoft Windows NTLM Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit (LocalPotato)
This module exploits a design flaw in Microsoft Windows. The NTLM reflection attack in local authentication allows a local attacker to write arbitrary files and get SYSTEM privileges.
Multiple stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been identified in which the application does not verify string size before copying to memory, the attacker may then be able to crash the application or run arbitrary code.
CyberGhost CG6Service Service SetPeLauncherState Vulnerability Local Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
The CG6Service Service in CyberGhost has the SetPeLauncherState method which allows a user to launch a debugger automatically for a determined process.
This can be abused by an attacker to gain SYSTEM privileges by attaching to a SYSTEM process.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of DVP files. The process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer.
Netgear R7000P router Denial of Service Vulnerability
Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi Router, 2.2Gbps Built for gaming, streaming, and mobile devices, this router supports MU-MIMO for simultaneous streaming and delivers extreme speed and extended range so you enjoy less lag and less buffering. Keep your family safe from online threats with an automatic shield of protection for all your connected devices from NETGEAR Armor. Add NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls to keep kids safe and easily manage their time online.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Jungo WinDriver. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of IOCTL 0x953824a7 by the windrvr12xx kernel driver. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied data which can result in an out-of-bounds write condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of kernel.
