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.

Exploit Platform
Exploit Type
Product Name
Panda Antivirus AgentSvc Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The vulnerable is a Local Privilege Escalation in AgentSvc.exe. This service creates a global section object and a corresponding global event that is signaled whenever a process that writes to the shared memory wants the data to be processed by the service. The vulnerability lies in the weak permissions that are affected to both these objects allowing "Everyone" including unprivileged users to manipulate the shared memory and the event.
Microsoft Internet Explorer VBScript UAF Exploit (2019)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the VBScript engine handles objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could take control of an affected system.
PCManFTPD Server APPE Command Buffer Overflow Exploit2
Server is prone to a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability when processing long requests. This flaw can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by sending the server a special crafted request.
Linux Kernel Dirty Pipe Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Improper initialization of the flags member of the pipe buffer structure in copy_page_to_iter_pipe and push_pipe functions in the Linux kernel, could allow an unprivileged local user to write to pages in the page cache backed by read-only files and escalate privileges on the system.
Cisco Webex Meetings webexservice Update Service DLL Hijacking Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A vulnerability in the update service of Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for Windows could allow an authenticated local attacker, to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM user privileges.
D-Link Central WiFiManager FTP Server Default Credentials Remote PHP File Upload Vulnerability Exploit Update
D-Link Central WiFiManager has an FTP server listening on port 9000 by default with fixed credentials. This allows to unauthenticated users to upload and execute PHP files in the web root, leading to remote code execution.

Impact
ALLPlayer M3U Buffer Overflow Exploit
A UNICODE Buffer Overflow exists in AllPlayer 7.5 when parsing .m3u files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .m3u files.
Due to an unauthenticated endpoint that leverages XStream for input serialization in VMware NSX Manager, an attacker can get remote code execution in the context of 'root' user account on the appliance.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Drupal Form API Ajax Requests Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
Drupal is prone to an OS command injection vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an improper validation of user-supplied data in the Form API Ajax Requests.

Impact
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 module allows to create a user with root privileges.
Symantec Messaging Gateway performRestore OS Command Injection Exploit
Symantec Messaging Gateway is prone to an Authentication Bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an improper validation of user-supplied data in the RestoreAction.performRestore method.
An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of root.
This module exploits an information disclosure vulnerability, a remote file download vulnerability and a directory traversal vulnerability in VMware vRealize Log Insight to deploy an agent with root privileges.
Foxit PDF Reader Export XFA Data Arbitrary File Write Exploit
The method exportXFAData has inadvertently exposed a dangerous loophole that can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victim's system. The exploitation process requires the victim's interaction, meaning a potential attacker would need to convince the target to visit a malicious web page or open a corrupted file. The victim's susceptibility to social engineering thus significantly increases the risk factor of this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the dbman.exe service, which listens on TCP port 2810 by default. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call.
This vulnerability revolves around an unchecked integer underflow of the size of a record of type 0x3c, producing a heap overflow, within a Workbook stream in an XLS file handled by Ichitaro.
This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them.
Exploits / Client Side
SCADA
Windows System Drive Remapping Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A dll hijacking allows to inject DLLs into some privileged processes that contain an embedded manifest file with the tags level="asInvoker" and uiAccess="true". This allows to an user in administrator group to elevate from Medium to High integrity level
Schneider Electric SoMachine HVAC AxEditGrid ActiveX Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the SetDataIntf method of the AxEditGrid control. The control has an untrusted pointer dereference vulnerability because it blindly calls an attacker-supplied memory address.
The vulnerability resides in parsing crafted Microsoft PowerPoint documents and produces a buffer overflow in the stack, leading to a privilege escalation to System.
Solarwinds DameWare Mini Remote Control Server Privilege Escalation Exploit
A certain message parsing function inside the Dameware Mini Remote Control service does not properly validate the input size of an incoming string before passing it to wsprintfw().
