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.

A java deserialization vulnerability in Zoho ManageEngine Pro before 12101 and PAM360 before 5510 allows unauthenticated attackers to send crafted XML-RPC requests with malicious serialized data to execute system commands as SYSTEM.
Linux Kernel OverlayFS Logic Upper Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where unauthorized access to the execution of the setuid file with capabilities was found in the Linux kernel OverlayFS subsystem in how a user copies a capable file from a nosuid mount into another mount. This uid mapping bug allows a local user to escalate their privileges on the system.
A command injection vulnerability has been found on D-Link DIR-823G devices with firmware version 1.02B03 that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands through well-designed /HNAP1 requests. Before the HNAP API function can process the request, the system function executes an untrusted command that triggers the vulnerability.
Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold TFTP Server Directory Traversal 0day
Free TFTP Server Our Free TFTP Server allows you to save time and effort while uploading and downloading files. Use it to transfer operating system software or device configuration files across computers and devices in your network.

Impact
ElbyCDIO IO Driver Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in ElbyCDIO.SYS driver when handling a specially crafted IOCTL request. The vulnerability allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters.
VUPlayer contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling .CUE files.
Easy Chat Server Authentication Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
A remote user of vulnerable installations of Easy Chat Server can send a specially crafted password parameter to chat.ghp to trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Microsoft Outlook Moniker Link UNC Path Information Disclosure Exploit
This exploit leverages an information disclosure vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook. By using a crafted path, unauthorized access can be obtained, allowing for the theft of NTLM hashes.
Apache RocketMQ versions 5.1.0 and below are vulnerable to arbitrary code injection. Broker component of RocketMQ is leaked on the extranet and lack permission verification. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by using the update configuration function to execute commands as the system users that RocketMQ is running as.
A buffer overflow in libtelnet/encrypt.c in Inetutils and Heimdal implementations of telnetd allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with root permissions via a long encryption key.
This update adds support for Debian and newer FreeBSD platforms.
Microsoft Office PowerPoint PPT 7 Memory Corruption Exploit (MS09-017)
This module exploits a stack overflow on "pp7x32.dll" when it parses an inconsistent record length in sound data in a file that uses a PowerPoint 95 (PPT95) native file format.
