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.

We provide pen testers with real-time updates for a wide range of exploits for different platforms, operating systems, and applications.
Search our continuously growing library to discover an exploit that will allow you to gain and retain access on the target host or application.
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 ZwOpenSection and ZwMapViewOfSection.
Windows Win32k Elevation Of Privilege Exploit (CVE-2019-0803)
This module exploits a win32k component vulnerability This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with System privileges. It is working until KB4507004 update 2019/07/08 it is patched in KB4507449 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 x64-based Systems 2019/07/09
The specific flaw exists within BwPAlarm.dll, which is accessed through the 70603 IOCTL in the webvrpcs process. The process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length buffer.
Apache Solr is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an insecure deployment of the JMX/RMI service used to manage and monitor the Java Virtual Machine. By exploiting known methods, it is possible to remotely load an MLet file from an attacker controlled web server that points at a jar file.
Disk Pulse Enterprise Import Command Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow on Disk Pulse Formats plugin when parsing a specially crafted .XML file. After the file is downloaded, the user must open it from the application, clicking on the Command option in the menu bar (or right clicking in the middle window), then choosing Import Command ... and selecting the file.
Microsoft Internet Explorer Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Exploit
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by exploiting an invalid pointer reference in Internet Explorer.
Microsoft Internet Explorer VBScript UAF Exploit (2019)
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by exploiting an invalid pointer reference in Internet Explorer.

Atlassian Jira Template Injection Vulnerability Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
This module exploits a server-side template injection vulnerability in Jira Server and Data Center, in the ContactAdministrators and the SendBulkMail actions. The ContactAdministrators action doesn't require authentication but it's not enabled by default. The SendBulkMail does require authentication and the "JIRA Administrators" access level.
The pdkinstall development plugin is incorrectly enabled in release builds of Atlassian Crowd and Crowd Data Center. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to install a malicious plugin and execute code in the system.

Cisco Data Center Network Manager Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability Exploit
This module uses an arbitrary file upload vulnerability, an authentication bypass (which depends on the target version) and a information disclosure vulnerability in order to upload and execute a WAR file in the Tomcat webapps folder. Since the Apache Tomcat server is running with root (SYSTEM in Windows targets) user, the deployed agent will run with the same privileges.
