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.

LG Device Manager LHA Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The LHA.sys driver before 1.1.1811.2101 in LG Device Manager exposes functionality that allows low-privileged users to read and write arbitrary physical memory via specially crafted IOCTL requests and elevate system privileges. This occurs because the device object has an associated symbolic link and an open DACL.
Windows AppX Deployment Service AppXSVC Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Edge, getting Full Control over a file. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with System privileges.
Heap buffer overflow in dnsmasq before 2.78 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS response.
In dnsmasq before 2.78, if the DNS packet size does not match the expected size, the size parameter in a memset call gets a negative value. As it is an unsigned value, memset ends up writing up to 0xffffffff zero's (0xffffffffffffffff in 64 bit platforms), making dnsmasq crash.
The Widget Connector macro in Atlassian Confluence Server allows remote attackers to achieve path traversal and remote code execution via server-side template injection.

Impact
Cisco Prime Infrastructure Health Monitor UploadServlet Remote JSP File Upload Vulnerability Exploit
The TarArchive class blindly extracts tar archives without checking for directory traversals. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the system.
This module exploits a vulnerability in various ASROCK utilities. The low level access drivers at the core of these utilities expose dangerous functionality to low privilege processes, a local attacker can read/write arbitrary kernel memory, which can be leveraged to elevate privileges.
ASUS Low Level Access Drivers Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in various ASUS and 3rd party branded utilities. The low level access drivers at the core of these utilities expose dangerous functionality to low privilege processes, a local attacker can read/write arbitrary kernel memory, which can be leveraged to elevate privileges.

A vulnerability in the update service of Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for Windows could allow an authenticated local attacker, to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM user privileges.
Cisco Webex Meetings webexservice Update Service Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A vulnerability in the update service of Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for Windows could allow an authenticated local attacker, to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM user privileges.
Cisco Webex Meetings webexservice Update Service ptUpdate Downgrade Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A vulnerability in the update service of Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for Windows could allow an authenticated local attacker, to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM user privileges.
Fortinet FortiClient IOCTL 220028 Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits an uninitialised stack variable vulnerability in "Fortishield.sys" by calling to DeviceIoControl function using IOCTL 0x220028 and 0x22608C with crafted parameters.
This module exploits a vulnerability in various GIGABYTE and AORUS branded utilities. The low level access drivers at the core of these utilities expose dangerous functionality to low privilege processes, a local attacker can read/write arbitrary kernel memory, which can be leveraged to elevate privileges.
