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
Microsoft Internet Shortcut Remote File Execution Vulnerability Exploit
The vulnerability relates to the use of Windows .URL files to execute a remote binary via a UNC path. When the targeted user opens or previews the .URL file (for example, from an email), the system attempts to access the specified path (for example, a WebDAV or SMB share), resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. Depending on the email client used, the vulnerability could be exploited as zero-click by simply displaying the attachment in the preview window or by clicking on it, or it could be blocked based on the target system's policies.
Microsoft Management Console MSC Exploit (CVE-2025-26633) Update
A vulnerability in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) allows remote code execution via social engineering. The attack uses malicious HTML content in .msc file via an embedded ActiveX, exploiting the rendering of Windows' internal Internet Explorer. This update removes the one-link tag
Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway Memory Overread Vulnerability CitrixBleed2 Exploit
An insufficient input validation leading to memory overread in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Citrix NetScaler Gateway when the NetScaler is configured as a Gateway (VPN virtual server, ICA Proxy, CVPN, RDP Proxy) OR AAA virtual server may allow unauthenticated remote attackers to exfiltrate cookies, session IDs, or passwords from the target application.
Microsoft Management Console MSC Exploit (CVE-2025-26633)
A vulnerability in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) allows remote code execution via social engineering. The attack uses malicious HTML content in .msc file via an embedded ActiveX, exploiting the rendering of Windows' internal Internet Explorer.
Vite exposes content of non-allowed files using inline&import or raw import. Only apps explicitly exposing the Vite dev server to the network (using --host or server.host config option) are affected.
The IMF ForceDelete Filter Driver (IMFForceDelete.sys) present in IObit Malware Fighter v12.1.0 allows attackers to arbitrarily delete files. This module allows a local unprivileged user to delete an arbitrary file, regardless of the current user privileges.
A XML External Entity vulnerability combined with an authenticated OS command injection in SysAid on-prem allows unauthenticated remote attackers to leak arbitrary files wich may lead to the execution of OS system commands.

Windows Hyper-V NT Kernel Integration VSP Privilege Escalation Exploit (CVE-2025-21333)
A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the vkrnlintvsp.sys driver within the VkiRootAdjustSecurityDescriptorForVmwp(). The issue occurs due to improper validation of a user-controlled Dacl->AclSize value when calculating a memory allocation size.
Veeam Backup and Replication Blacklist xmlFrameworkDs NET Deserialization Vulnerability Remote Code Execution Exploit
Veeam Backup and Replication deserialization of Veeam.Backup.EsxManager.xmlFrameworkDs .NET class type allows authenticated remote attackers to execute system commands in the context of the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM user.
This module exploits an authentication bypass vulnerability in the CrushFTP WebInterface. Versions affected include 10.0.0 through 10.8.3 and 11.0.0 through 11.3.0. The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass login by crafting a forged CrushAuth cookie and abusing the Authorization header. If a valid username is known (e.g., crushadmin), the attacker can: Retrieve a full list of users via getUserList.
Microsoft Windows Cloud Files Mini Filter Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit (CVE-2024-30085)
The Cloud Files Mini Filter Driver (cldflt.sys) present in Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, which can result in out-of-bounds memory write to paged pool memory. This module allows a local unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
Windows Error Reporting Privilege Escalation Exploit (CVE-2024-26169)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability has been identified in the Windows Error Reporting Service. This security flaw arises from improper privilege management, enabling local attackers with standard user permissions to escalate their privileges and gain unauthorized access to elevated system capabilities.
SolarWinds Web Help Desk Hardcoded Credentials Vulnerability Checker
CVE-2024-28987 affects SolarWinds Web Help Desk 12.8.3 Hotfix 1 and all previous versions due to the presence of hardcoded credentials in the application. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to access the REST API using Basic Authentication with predefined credentials (helpdeskIntegrationUser/dev-C4F8025E7), enabling them to read, modify, and create tickets.
Microsoft Windows Common Log File System Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit (CVE-2024-38196)
The Common Log File System Driver (clfs.sys) present in Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to a memory corruption vulnerability. This module allows a local unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by creating a specially crafted base log file.
Windows Common Log File System Driver LoadContainerQ Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the LoadContainerQ function within clfs.sys. The root cause of this vulnerability is that LoadContainerQ uses CLFS_CONTAINER_CONTEXT.pContainer without verifying whether the FlushImage function has invalidated the General Metadata Block.
