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.

OrientDB Remote Command Execution Exploit
This module exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability in OrientDB by abusing SQL queries on OUser/ORole without the privileges which allows users to get Code Execution
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Linux Kernel waitid Privilege Escalation Exploit
The waitid implementation in upstream kernels did not restrict the target destination to copy information results. This can allow local users to write to otherwise protected kernel memory, which can lead to privilege escalation.
This module exploits a vulnerability in NVIDIA GPU drivers. By abusing a vulnerability in the driver's DxgDdiEscape interface handler, a local attacker can trigger a kernel arbitrary write, which can be leveraged to elevate privileges.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Apache Struts 2. The specific vulnerability relies on the Struts 1 plugin which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious field value passed in a raw message to the ActionMessage.
Embedthis GoAhead before 3.6.5 and after 2.5.0 allows remote code execution if CGI is enabled and a CGI program is dynamically linked. This is a result of initializing the environment of forked CGI scripts using untrusted HTTP request parameters in the cgiHandler function in cgi.c. When combined with the glibc dynamic linker, this behaviour can be abused for remote code execution using special parameter names such as LD_PRELOAD. An attacker can POST their shared object payload in the body of the request, and reference it using /proc/self/fd/0.
Cisco WebEx Network Recording Player is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of ATTRAC32.DLL if this module is located in the same folder than .ARF file.
Sysgauge Server Unauthenticated Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
SysGauge Server 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.
Advantech WebAccess Webvrpcs Service DrawSrv Untrusted Pointer Dereference Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the 0x2723 opcode in the DrawSrv subsystem. A untrusted pointer dereference vulnerability exists previous to a call to memcpy. An attacker can use this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of an administrator of the system.
AllMediaServer 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.
IKARUS anti virus ntguard_x64 Local Privilege Escalation
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of IKARUS anti.virus. 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 ntguard_x64.sys kernel driver. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied data which can result in an out-of-bounds write condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of kernel.
Dup Scout 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.

Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Exploit (CVE-2017-11882)
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 LeviStudio HMI 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.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Jungo WinDriver. 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 windrvr12xx kernel driver. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied data which can result in an out-of-bounds write condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of kernel.
Username parameter in Registration page 'register.ghp' is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability.Application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
Sync Breeze Enterprise is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling a crafted GET request, this can trigger an overflow in a finite-sized internal memory buffer, and install an agent with SYSTEM privileges.
The page served impersonates the given URL web page and its web forms. It will retrieve the information entered by the user in the web forms when it's submitted and redirect the user to the original web page. This information will be stored into the target's email entity. It also attempts to gather information about the browser version, operating system and browser plugins.
