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.

Product Name
Apache RocketMQ Remote Command Execution Exploit
Apache RocketMQ versions 5.1.0 and below are vulnerable to arbitrary code injection. Broker component of RocketMQ is leaked on the extranet and lack permission verification. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by using the update configuration function to execute commands as the system users that RocketMQ is running as.
Fortra's Robot Schedule Enterprise Agent for Windows prior to version 3.04 is susceptible to privilege escalation. A low-privileged user can overwrite the service executable. When the service is restarted, the replaced binary runs with local system privileges, allowing a low-privileged user to gain elevated privileges.
An identified vulnerability in ScreenConnect allows attackers to bypass string comparison in the request path and access the setup wizard ("/SetupWizard.aspx") on configured instances. Exploiting this vulnerability enables an attacker to create an administrative user and upload a malicious ScreenConnect extension, potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE) on the server.

Wordpress Post Smtp Mailer Plugin Authorization Bypass Exploit Update
The POST SMTP Mailer Email log, Delivery Failure Notifications and Best Mail SMTP for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data and modification of data due to a type juggling issue on the connect-app REST endpoint. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the API key used to authenticate to the mailer and view logs, including password reset emails, allowing site takeover. This update adds support for LINUX and improves documentation.
This vulnerability in Jenkins allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files in the Jenkins controller's file system. It arises from a function in the CLI command parser that replaces an '@' character followed by a file path with the file's content. By exploiting this vulnerability, attackers can gain unauthorized access to sensitive files and compromise the system's integrity.
Microsoft Outlook Moniker Link UNC Path Information Disclosure Exploit
This exploit leverages an information disclosure vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook. By using a crafted path, unauthorized access can be obtained, allowing for the theft of NTLM hashes.
Linux Kernel GSM Multiplexing Race Condition Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This vulnerability allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Linux Kernel. 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 n_gsm driver. The issue results from the lack of proper locking when performing operations on an object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel.
A denial of service vulnerability exists in Event Logging Service when an authenticated attacker connects to the target system and sends specially crafted requests.
Linux Looney Tunables GLIBC Local Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
A buffer overflow was discovered in the GNU C Library's dynamic loader ld.so while processing the GLIBC_TUNABLES environment variable. This issue could allow a local attacker to use maliciously crafted GLIBC_TUNABLES environment variables when launching binaries with SUID permission to execute code with elevated privileges.
This update contains a minor fix in the exploit time out.
An attacker can manipulate file upload params to enable paths traversal and under some circumstances this can lead to uploading a malicious file which can be used to perform Remote Code Execution. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions Struts 2.5.33 or Struts 6.3.0.2 or greater to fix this issue.

Microsoft WordPad LinkedObject UNC Path Information Disclosure Exploit
This exploit leverages an information disclosure vulnerability in Microsoft WordPad. By using a malicious file, unauthorized access can be obtained, allowing for the theft of NTLM hashes.
Oracle WebLogic Server is prone to a remote vulnerability due to deserialization of untrusted inputs, allowing attackers to instantiate arbitrary Java objects leading to remote code execution.
This update avoids a very long attack sequence when first try fails.
Microsoft Windows AFD AfdSendMessage Privilege Escalation Exploit
The Ancillary Function Driver (AFD.sys) present in Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to a double-fetch that causes an integer overflow, which can result in out-of-bounds memory write to non-paged pool memory. This module allows a local unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by calling to the WSASendMsg function with crafted parameters.
Wordpress Ultimate Member Plugin Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution Exploit Update
The vulnerability allows to an unauthenticated attacker to register as an administrator and take full control of the website. The problem occurs with the plugin registration form. In this form it's possible to change certain values for the account to be registered. This includes the "wp_capabilities" value, which determines the user's role on the website. This update adds a print in the module output window.

IBM Performance Tools for i QAVCPP Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
An improper privilege management vulnerability in IBM Performance Tools for i allows authenticated local attackers with command line access to gain all object access to the host operating system.
The vulnerability can be exploited by abusing the QPFR/QAVCPP program.
