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.

Beckhoff TwinCAT Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Kernel drivers in Beckhoff TwinCAT 3.1 Build 4022.4, TwinCAT 2.11 R3 2259, and TwinCAT 3.1 lack proper validation of user-supplied pointer values. An attacker who is able to execute code on the target may be able to exploit this vulnerability to obtain SYSTEM privileges.
Sophos SafeGuard Enterprise Arbitrary Write SGStDrvm Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Sophos SafeGuard Enterprise before 8.00.5, SafeGuard Easy before 7.00.3, and SafeGuard LAN Crypt before 3.95.2 are vulnerable to Local Privilege Escalation via multiple IOCTL.
Tp-link EAP Controller does not handle privilege management correctly so a non privileged user can execute privileged actions. This module will try to change the device's settings and enable ssh in order to take control of the managed Access Points.
Oracle WebLogic Server 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 RMI Registry to load a UnicastRef Object, wich allows the execution of system commands.
Eaton 9000XDrive is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability that occurs because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data via a crafted .TLF 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.
A stack-based buffer overflow in WECON LeviStudioU Editor allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via crafted .UMP 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.
A stack-based buffer overflow in WECON LeviStudioU Editor allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via crafted .XML file imported from Usermanage process. 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.
Oracle VirtualBox crUnpackTexGendv Buffer Overflow DoS
The code that implements 3D acceleration for OpenGL graphics in Oracle VirtualBox is prone to multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities. An attacker within a Windows Guest OS can escape from the virtual machine and make a DoS in the VirtualBox process in the Host OS.
Sophos SafeGuard Enterprise Arbitrary Write Value IOCTL 802022E0 Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Sophos SafeGuard Enterprise. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the processing of crafted IOCTL by the lcencvm.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.
Exploits / Remote File Inclusion / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Tomabo MP4 Player Stack Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling .M3U files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file of said extension.
Windows
Exploits / Client Side
Impact
Microsoft Internet Explorer VBScript UAF 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.
This exploit executes code at a user-defined (local) path as SYSTEM, when the execute_installer parameter is used in an HTTP message. This occurs without properly authenticating the user
This module exploits an uninitialised stack variable vulnerability in "nxfs.sys" by calling to DeviceIoControl function using IOCTL 0x00222014 and 0x00222030 with crafted parameters.
Cisco UCS Manager ping OS Command Injection Exploit
This module uses a OS Command Injection vulnerability present in Cisco UCS Manager ping function to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
QNAP Qcenter Virtual Appliance Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
This module uses a Privilege escalation vulnerability in QNAP Qcenter Virtual Appliance and an OS Command Injection vulnerability to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system.
Apache CouchDB Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
This module uses an Authentication Bypass vulnerability in Apache CouchDB and an OS Command Injection vulnerability to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of FLN files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the 0x13C80 IOCTL in the BwOpcTool subsystem in VdBroadWinGetLocalDataLogEx. When parsing the NamedObject structure, the process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length buffer.
