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.

Iolo System Shield Amp Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
In Iolo System Shield AntiVirus and AntiSpyware 5.0.0.136, the amp.sys driver file contains an Arbitrary Write vulnerability due to not validating input values from ioctl 0x00226003.
Linux Kernel eBPF Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
An arbitrary memory r/w access issue was found in the Linux kernel compiled with the eBPF bpf(2) system call (CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL) support. The issue could occur due to calculation errors in the eBPF verifier module, triggered by user supplied malicious BPF program. 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.
Linux snapd dirty_sock Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in snapd which incorrectly validates and parses the remote socket address when performing access controls on its UNIX socket. A local attacker could use this to access privileged socket APIs and obtain administrator privileges.
Microsoft Windows DCOM/RPC NTLM Reflection Elevation of Privilege Exploit
Local DCOM DCE/RPC connections can be reflected back to a listening TCP socket allowing access to an NTLM authentication challenge for LocalSystem user which can be replayed to the local DCOM activation service. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass security and gain elevated privileges on a targeted system. In order to successfully exploit this vulnerability, the source agent must be running in the context of a Windows service application, as the module require special permissions to create a new agent with elevated privileges.
Microsoft Windows SchRpcSetSecurity Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles calls to Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC).An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the security context of the local system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
STOPzilla AntiMalware Arbitrary Write szkg64 Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The user can write 0 where he wants. This can be used to write SecurityDescriptor and write system processes.

Impact
VirIT eXplorer Anti-Virus Arbitrary Write Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of VirIT eXplorer Anti-Virus. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute non-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the processing of crafted IOCTL by the VIAGLT64.SYS kernel driver. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied data which can result in an arbitrary write condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of kernel.
The specific flaw exists within bwnodeip.exe, which is accessed through the 0x2711 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.
The specific flaw exists within bwnodeip.exe, which is accessed through the 70022 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.
Advantech WebAccess is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the RPC interface that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer.
The function 'processHeaderConfig' is vulnerable to command injection due to lack of validation in the HTTP headers that process as argument. This module exploits this vulneravility to install an agent
A vulnerability in the update service of Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for Windows could allow an authenticated remote attacker, to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM user privileges. This module will access the specified remote target using SMB, and install an agent with SYSTEM user privileges.
Easy File Sharing Web Server POST UserID Cookie Buffer Overflow Exploit
Stack-based buffer overflow in Easy File Sharing (EFS) Web Server 7.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious login request to forum.ghp
HP Intelligent Management Center is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to execute commands under the context of system.

Microsoft Windows SMB Pool Overflow EternalRomance Remote Code Execution Exploit (MS17-010)
This module also know as EternalRomance exploits the ms17-010 vulnerability by taking advantage of a remote pool overflow in the smb transaction handling code of the windows smb driver. You will need to provide windows credentials in order to exploit the remote host. This module should never crash a target, so if the exploit does not work probably its because the credentials were wrong.
PCManFTPD Server APPE Command Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in PCMan FTP Server. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted USER command to port TCP/21.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling .LSM files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file of said extension.

ABB Panel Builder bemodbus Heap Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of a PBA file. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length buffer.
Atlantis Word Processor JPEG Length Underflow Exploit
An exploitable stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the JPEG parser of Atlantis Word Processor, version 3.2.5.0. A specially crafted image embedded within a document can cause a length to be miscalculated and underflow. This length is then treated as unsigned and then used in a copying operation. Due to the length underflow, the application will then write outside the bounds of a stack buffer, resulting in a buffer overflow. An attacker must convince a victim to open a document in order to trigger this vulnerability.
Boxoft WAV to MP3 Converter Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling .WAV files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file of said extension.
A stack-based buffer overflow in CyberLink LabelPrint allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via an overly long name attribute in a .LPP 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.
