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.

Tenda routers G3 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by a command injection vulnerability in function formSetNetCheckTools. By sending a specially-crafted request using the hostName parameter, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the system.
ICL ScadaFlex II SCADA Controllers SC-1/SC-2 Remote File Delete
You can delete any file on the device that is not authenticated. On ICL ScadaFlex II SCADA Controller SC-1 and SC-2 1.03.07 devices, unauthenticated remote attackers can overwrite, delete, or create files.
This module exploits two vulnerabilities in Trend Micro Threat Discovery Appliance.
The first is an authentication bypass vulnerability via a file delete in logoff.cgi which resets the admin password back to 'admin' upon a reboot. This is useful if the password for the admin user is unknown.
The second is an authenticated command injection flaw using the timezone parameter in the admin_sys_time.cgi interface.
An AJP request smuggling present in F5 BIG-IP Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to create an administrative user and execute OS systems commands in the context of the root user.
An unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability allowed attackers to transfer a serialized Java object to the Jenkins CLI, making Jenkins connect to an attacker-controlled LDAP server, which in turn can send a serialized payload leading to code execution, bypassing existing protection mechanisms.
Linux Kernel AF_PACKET Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a race condition vulnerability in the Linux Kernel via AF_PACKET sockets.
WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.
Samsung Security Manager Apache Felix Gogo Vulnerability Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Samsung Security Manager is prone to a privilege-escalation vulnerability that affects Apache Felix Gogo runtime. Due to an insecure default installation of the runtime, an attacker could then send commands that will be executed by the mentioned runtime.
Linux Kernel netfilter target_offset Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Linux kernel related to the netfilter target_offset field. This vulnerability can be exploited by a local unprivileged attacker to gain root privileges.
The specific flaw exists within the edit_lf_process resource of the Reprise License Manager service. The issue lies in the ability to write arbitrary files with controlled data. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of SYSTEM.
This update specify information about vulnerable targets and add more targets.
TrendMicro node.js HTTP Server Remote Code Execution Exploit
The Password Manager component installed by various Trend Micro products runs a Node.js HTTP server by default. This web server opens multiple HTTP RPC ports for handling API requests. For example, the openUrlInDefaultBrowser API function, which internally maps to a ShellExecute function call, allows and attacker to execute arbitrary commands on localhost without the need of any type of credentials.

Windows Search Indexer get_RootURL Race Condition Privilege Escalation Exploit
A race condition exists in Windows Search Indexer, when the put_RootURL function wrote a user-controlled data in the memory of CSearchRoot+0x14.AT the same time, the get_RootURL function read the data located in the memory of CSearchRoot+0x14.
The vulnerability was caused by the access to a shared variable between two different methods of the same instance .
A vulnerability in the installer component of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows could allow an authenticated local attacker to copy user-supplied files to system level directories with system level privileges. The vulnerability is due to the incorrect handling of directory paths. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious file and copying the file to a system directory. An exploit could allow the attacker to copy malicious files to arbitrary locations with system level privileges.
Microsoft SharePoint Server DataSet Deserialization Remote OS Command Injection Exploit (CVE-2020-1147)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in .NET Framework, Microsoft SharePoint, and Visual Studio when the software fails to check the source markup of XML file input. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the process responsible for deserialization of the XML content.

Microsoft SharePoint Server CreateChildControls Server Side Include Vulnerability Exploit (CVE-2020-16952)
A server-side include in Microsoft SharePoint via CreateChildControls in DataFormWebPart class allows an authenticated user to leak the web.config file and forge a malicious ViewState with the extracted validation key.
The user credentials requires user with page creation privileges, a standard permission.

Ghostcat Local File Inclusion Exploit
When using the Apache JServ Protocol (AJP), care must be taken when trusting incoming connections to Apache Tomcat. Tomcat treats AJP connections as having higher trust than, for example, a similar HTTP connection. If such connections are available to an attacker, they can be exploited in ways that may be surprising. In Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.30, 8.5.0 to 8.5.50 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.99, Tomcat shipped with an AJP Connector enabled by default that listened on all configured IP addresses.
