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.

Exploit Platform
Exploit Type
Product Name
Dup Scout Enterprise Import Command Local Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow 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.
Exploits / Remote File Inclusion / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
DVD X Player Standard Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in DVD X Player when handling .PLF files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file of said extension from the open playlist.
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.
DiskBoss Enterprise is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling a crafted packet, this can trigger an overflow in a finite-sized internal memory buffer, and install an agent with SYSTEM privileges.
Dell EMC Data Protection Advisor Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
This module uses an Authentication Bypass vulnerability in Dell EMC Data Protection Advisor and an OS Command Injection vulnerability to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system.
Exploits / Authentication Weakness / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Rockwell Automation RSLogix Micro Starter Lite Project File Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of a RSS 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.
DiskBoss server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability (using port 80), this can trigger an overflow in a finite-sized internal memory buffer, and install an agent.
Windows
Exploits / Remote
Impact
DiskPulse Enterprise GET Buffer Overflow Exploit
In Flexense Disk Pulse Enterprise v10.1.18, the Control Protocol suffers from a denial of service vulnerability. DiskPulse server is prone to a buffer-overflow SEH vulnerability (using port 80).
DiskSavvy server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability (using port 9124), this can trigger an overflow in a finite-sized internal memory buffer, and install an agent.
Drupal Form API Ajax Requests Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
Drupal is prone to an OS command injection vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an improper validation of user-supplied data in the Form API Ajax Requests.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
VX Search Command Name Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing VX Search Web Server. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within VX Search Web Server when processing HTTP command name POST Request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of MalwareFox Antimalware. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute normal privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the processing of crafted IOCTL by the zam64.sys kernel driver. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied data which can allows a non-privileged process to register itself. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of kernel.
HPE Operations Orchestration Central is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an improper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in deserialization of untrusted data in OOHttpInvokerServiceExporter. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.
Exploits / Insecure Deserialization / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Microsoft Office Equation Editor Memory Corruption Exploit (CVE-2018-0802)
Microsoft Office is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability that occurs because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data via a crafted .RTF 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.
This module exploits a buffer overflow on Sync Breeze 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.
IBM Informix Open Admin Tool SOAP welcomeServer PHP Remote Code Execution Exploit
IBM Informix Open Admin Tool is vulnerable to an unauthenticated php remote code execution, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary php code in the system. On Windows targets, IBM Informix Open Admin Tool is running as SYSTEM, so deployed agents will have this privilege.
Symantec Messaging Gateway performRestore OS Command Injection Exploit
Symantec Messaging Gateway is prone to an Authentication Bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an improper validation of user-supplied data in the RestoreAction.performRestore method. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of root.
HPE Intelligent Management Center is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an improper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in deserialization of untrusted data in WebDMDebugServlet. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.
TrendMicro is prone to an abuse in the talker.php function to get authentication bypass, combined with the mod TMCSS user-supplied unvalidated input before using it to execute a system calls leads us to execute arbitrary code. This exploit installs an OS Agent.
