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. Witten by our own internal team, 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.

Oracle Weblogic Server T3 UniversalExtractor JNDI injection getDatabaseMetaData Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module uses an unauthenticated java deserialization vulnerability via T3 protocol in Oracle Weblogic Server to upload and execute a java class file to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system.
Microsoft Windows Win32k DrawIcon OOB Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows when the Windows kernel-mode driver 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.
This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in F5 BIG-IP Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI). The failure in URL parsing between Apache and Java (Tomcat) allows to perform a directory traversal to access the tmshCmd.jsp page. This page allows an authenticated user to execute commands. But, using the mentioned vulnerability, an unauthenticated attacker can run remote code on the underlying operating system an deploy an agent.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Pydio Cells Mailer Configuration Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
This module exploits an OS command injection vulnerability in Pydio Cells. The lack of sanitisation for the input of the mailer configuration could be exploited to allow an authenticated attacker to run remote code on the underlying operating system an deploy an agent.
This module uses an unauthenticated java deserialization vulnerability via JSONWS in Liferay Portal to upload and execute a java class file to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system.

Impact
Artica Pandora FMS Events Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
This module exploits an OS command injection vulnerability in Artica Pandora FMS. The lack of sanitisation for the input of the Events function could be exploited to allow an authenticated attacker to run remote code on the underlying operating system an deploy an agent.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
OpenAudit Remote Command Execution Exploit
The 'recentVersion' explude_ip parameter in the discoveries endpoint is vulnerable to OS Command Injection, this module exploits this vulneravility in order to install an agent
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
ATI Technologies Driver atillk64 Kernel Arbitrary Read Write Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The vulnerability allows read and write to arbitrary memory locations, and consequently gain NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges, by mapping \Device\PhysicalMemory into the calling process via MmMapLockedPages and MmBuildMdlForNonPagedPool.
The update functionality of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows is affected by a path traversal vulnerability that allows local attackers to create/overwrite files on arbitrary locations and gain system privileges with an uncontolled serach path vulnerability.
Trident Z Lighting Control Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The ene.sys driver before v1.00.17 in Trident Z Lighting Control exposes functionality that allows low-privileged users to read and write arbitrary physical memory via specially crafted IOCTL requests and elevate system privileges.
Windows Search Indexer get_RootURL Race Condition Privilege Escalation Exploit
A Race Condition bug exists in SearchIndexer.exe, and can be triggered by the access to a shared variable between two different methods of the same instance.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Advantech WebAccess DATACORE server. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted packet to port 14592.

Oracle Coherence T3 ReflectionExtractor Deserialization Vulnerability Remote Code Execution Exploit
Oracle Coherence (Caching, CacheStore and Invocation Components) is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of a Java deserialization vulnerability. By exploiting known methods, it is possible to remotely connect to the Coherence port via T3 protocol to invoke the extract method of the ReflectionExtractor class, which allows the execution of system commands.
Eaton HMISoft is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability that occurs because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data via a crafted .VU3 document. This module runs a malicious web server on the Core Impact Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to it.
A stack-based buffer overflow in WECON LeviStudioU allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via crafted .XML file. This module runs a malicious web server on the Core Impact Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to it.
Delta Automation CNCSoft Screen Editor is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability that occurs because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data via a crafted .DPB document. This module runs a malicious web server on the Core Impact Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to it.
Microsoft Exchange Validation Key Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
This module exploits a deserialization vulnerability in the Microsoft Exchange Control Panel. The lack of randomization in the validationKey and decryptionKey values allows an attacker to create a crafted viewstate to execute OS commands an deploy an agent. The deployed agent will run with SYSTEM privileges.
