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.

Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Microsoft Windows Backup Service Arbitrary File Delete Exploit
This module exploits an Arbitrary File Deletion performed by an unprivileged user in any protected folder. Before deleting the file, this module backups the file in the user temp folder
Linux Kernel Route4 Change UAF Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A use-after-free flaw was found in route4_change in the net/sched/cls_route.c filter implementation in the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system and possibly lead to a local privilege escalation problem.
This module exploits a deserialization vulnerability present in Microsoft.Exchange.Data.SerializationTypeConverter class when converting powershell remoting objects. This module bypasses the IIS URL Rewrite rules given by Microsoft. This is achieved by not using the autodiscover path confusion (CVE-2022-41040). The deployed agent will run with the SYSTEM privileges.
Lenovo Vantage HardwareScanPlugin Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
The LenovoDiagnosticsDriver.sys driver in the HardwareScanPlugin of Lenovo Vantage before 1.3.0.5 allow local non-privileged users (including low-integrity level processes) to read and write to arbitrary physical memory locations, and consequently gain NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges, via a function call such as MmMapIoSpace.
An issue was discovered in Zimbra Collaboration (ZCS) 8.8.15 and 9.0. An attacker can upload arbitrary files through amavisd via a cpio loophole (extraction to /opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra/public) that can lead to incorrect access to any other user accounts.
IBM i Access Client Solutions Java DLL hijacking Exploit
IBM i Access Client Solutions is vulnerable to DLL hijacking when certain features are run on a Windows operating system that leverage native code. IBM has addressed this CVE by providing a fix to IBM i Access Client Solutions as described in the remediation/fixes section. The attacker must entice a victim into opening a specially crafted .hod, .bchx, .ws, .dttx and dtfx file. This file and the associated binary may be delivered to a user through remote WebDAV shares or zipped attach. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.
This module exploits a XStream deserialization vulnerability to deploy an agent in VMware Workspace ONE Access that will run with root user privileges. The vulnerability is present in the resetPassword method of com.vmware.vshield.vsm.usermgmt.restcontroller.UserMgmtController class via the @RequestBody parameter with SecurityProfileDto type which sets the serializer to the vulnerable XStream.

Zoho ManageEngine ADAudit Plus Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a java deserialization vulnerability present in the CewolfRenderer servlet. Also, this module exploits a blind XXE vulnerability present in the ProcessTrackingListener class.

Zoho ManageEngine ADAudit Plus Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution Webapp Exploit
This module exploits a java deserialization vulnerability present in the CewolfRenderer servlet. Also, this module exploits a blind XXE vulnerability present in the ProcessTrackingListener class.
An authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel vulnerability [CWE-288] in FortiOS, FortiProxy and FortiSwitchManager may allow an unauthenticated attacker to perform operations on the administrative interface via specially crafted HTTP or HTTPS requests.
Win32k Window Object Type Confusion Local Privilege Escalation
The vulnerability is a win32k window object type confusion leading to an OOB (out-of-bounds) write which can be used to create arbitrary memory read and write capabilities within the Windows kernel to achieve elevated privileges.
Linux Kernel Netfilter Set Element Init TC HBO Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A type confusion bug in nft_set_elem_init (leading to a buffer overflow) could be used by a local attacker to escalate privileges, a different vulnerability than CVE-2022-32250. (The attacker can obtain root access, but must start with an unprivileged user namespace to obtain CAP_NET_ADMIN access.) This can be fixed in nft_setelem_parse_data in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c.
Linux Kernel Legacy Parse Param IU HO Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the legacy_parse_param function in the Filesystem Context functionality of the Linux kernel verified the supplied parameters length. An unprivileged (in case of unprivileged user namespaces enabled, otherwise needs namespaced CAP_SYS_ADMIN privilege) local user able to open a filesystem that does not support the Filesystem Context API (and thus fallbacks to legacy handling) could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.
Linux Kernel eBPF OR NULL Pointer Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The bpf verifier(kernel/bpf/verifier.c) did not properly restrict several *_OR_NULL pointer types which allows these types to do pointer arithmetic. 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.
Atlassian Bitbucket Git Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
This module exploits an unauthenticated command injection in multiple API endpoints by supplying NULL bytes to the git command used at this endpoints which allows the passage of extra arguments that lead to OS command injection. Successful exploitation requires access to a public repository. The deployed agent will run with the atlbitbucket user account privileges.
