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.

Atlassian Questions for Confluence Hardcoded Credentials Vulnerability Checker
Atlassian Questions for Confluence creates a Confluence user account with the username disabledsystemuser.
The disabledsystemuser account is created with a hardcoded password and is added to the confluence-users group, which allows viewing and editing all non-restricted pages within Confluence by default
A remote, unauthenticated attacker with knowledge of the hardcoded password could exploit this to log into Confluence and access any pages the confluence-users group has access to.
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 Networks File System 4.1 Remote DoS
Microsoft Windows could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or BSOD the system, caused by a design flaw in the Network File System component.
Linux Kernel Netfilter Dup Netdev OOB Write Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
net/netfilter/nf_dup_netdev.c in the Linux kernel 5.4 through 5.6.10 allows local users to gain privileges because of a heap out-of-bounds write. This is related to nf_tables_offload.
A command injection vulnerability in the web interface of the Zyxel NWA-1100-NH firmware could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on the device.
A buffer overflow in the RTSP service of the Xiongmai DVR devices allows an unauthenticated attacker to send a crafted RTSP request, with a long digest CSeq header
A vulnerability has been identified in SICAM A8000 CP-8031 (All versions less V4.80), SICAM A8000 CP-8050 (All versions less V4.80). Affected devices do not require an user to be authenticated to access certain files. This could allow unauthenticated attackers to download these files.
A vulnerability was discovered in RealVNC VNC Server installations on Windows when running MSI repair, which can lead to a local user privilege escalation.
Linux Kernel eBPF OR NULL Pointer Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The bpf verifier(kernel/bpf/verifier.c) did not properly restrict several *_OR_NULL pointer types which allows these types to do pointer arithmetic. An unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on a system. Setting parameter "kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1" prevents such privilege escalation by restricting access to bpf(2) call.
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.
Microsoft Windows Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft MSDT, which can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable machines by convincing an unsuspecting user to open a malicious document.
