Library of expert validated exploits for safe and effective pen tests
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. Whether written by our own internal team or by a third party like ExCraft, 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.

Microsoft Windows Print Spooler PrintNightmare Remote Code Execution Exploit
The vulnerability has been dubbed PrintNightmare and is tracked as CVE-2021-34527. The flaw is due to the Windows Print Spooler service improperly performing privileged file operations. Microsoft says the flaw can be exploited by an authenticated user calling RpcAddPrinterDriverEx(). When exploited, an attacker gains SYSTEM privileges and can execute arbitrary code, install programs, view, change, or delete data or create new accounts with full user rights.
This update adds the ability to choose an external agent for the smb file share.
Some Windows kernel versions are susceptible to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue allows remote attackers to crash affected kernels, denying further network service to legitimate users (MS06-007).
An internal memory buffer may be overrun while handling long "USER" command. This condition may be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the NetTerm NetFTPD.exe process.
This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in the Zope web application server used by Plone, by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected web site.
The vulnerability exists because it is possible to remotely invoke the popen2 function from the Python os package with arbitrary arguments in the context of the affected server. This can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable machine.

Besder 6024PB-XMA501 IP camera Path Traversal Vulnerability
This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in Besder 6024PB-XMA501 IP camera
Execute commands without authentication as admin user , To use it in all versions, we only enter the router ip and Port(if available) in the script and Execute commands with root user.
A buffer overflow in the RTSP service of the Xiongmai DVR devices allows an unauthenticated attacker to send a crafted RTSP request, with a long digest CSeq header
This module exploits a vulnerability in XBMC by sending a specially crafted, overly long HTTP GET request to the application's web server which causes a stack-based buffer overflow, allowing arbitrary code execution.
HP OpenView NNM OvJavaLocale Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the webappmon.exe CGI application, a component of HP OpenView Network Node Manager, by sending an HTTP request with an invalid value for the OvJavaLocale parameter.
The Apache HTTP Server, commonly referred to as Apache, is a popular open source web server software. mod_isapi is a core module of the Apache package that implements the Internet Server extension API. The extension allows Apache to serve Internet Server extensions (ISAPI .dll modules) for Microsoft Windows based hosts. By sending a specially crafted request followed by a reset packet it is possible to trigger a vulnerability in Apache mod_isapi that will unload the target ISAPI module from memory. However function pointers still remain in memory and are called when
This exploit forces the IIS process inetinfo.exe to throw an unhandled exception. IIS' behavior depends on the operating system version, its configuration and the system-wide debugger specified in the registry.
This update adds more supported platforms to the exploit.
The BlogAPI module does not validate the extension of files that it is used to upload, enabling users with the "administer content with blog api" permission to upload harmful files. This module uploads an IMPACT agent, creates a php file to execute the agent and then makes a request to the file. The result is an IMPACT agent running on the webserver.
