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 Win32k pprFlattenRec Vulnerability Exploit Update 2
This module exploits a vulnerability in win32k.sys when the EPATHOBJ::pprFlattenRec() doesn't initialize the pointer to the next memory chunk.
This update adds support to Windows 2003, Windows 2008 and Windows Vista
SaferVPN for Windows Ver 5.0.3.3 through 5.0.4.15 could allow local privilege escalation from low privileged users to SYSTEM via a crafted openssl configuration file.
This module exploits a vulnerability in MongoDB server. An arbitrary value passed as a parameter to the nativeHelper function in MongoDB server allows an attacker to control the execution flows to achieve remote code execution.
Oracle Java Font Handling Remote Code Execution Exploit
A specific flaw exists within the handling of CFF-based OpenType fonts. The issue lies in two operators that allow for reading and writing elements beyond the allocated buffers. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
Apache Unomi allows conditions to use OGNL and MVEL scripting which offers the possibility to call static Java classes from the JDK that could execute code with the permission level of the running Java process.

Procyon Core Server HMI Scada Coreservice Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
Vulnerability in the coreservice.exe component of Procyon Core Server versions 1.13 and below. While processing a password, the application fails to do proper bounds checking before copying data into a buffer on the stack. This causes a buffer overflow and allows it to overwrite a structured exception handling record, allowing for unauthenticated remote code execution.
This version updates runtime value to the appropriate for this case.
Adobe Flash Player SWF Load Crafted Module Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player triggered when processing a SWF file and this load a crafted dll module. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site.
Adobe Flash Player ActiveX SWF Memory Corruption Exploit
This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player when parsing a specially crafted .SWF file, which can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable machines by convincing an unsuspecting user to visit a malicious web site.
Pult Online suffers from system information leak. The attacker can view the names of system files. By changing the directory for making a backup in the server configuration menu. So the files located in the previously selected folder will be displayed on the administrator system page. Tested on Pult Online v270

Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability in Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator.
Microsoft Windows Print Spooler PrintNightmare Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability exists when the Windows Print Spooler service improperly performs privileged file operations. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
Linux Kernel compat_alloc_user_space Privilege Escalation Exploit
The "compat_alloc_user_space" function, which belongs to the 32-bit compatibility layer for 64-bit versions of Linux, can produce a stack pointer underflow when it's called with an arbitrary length input. This vulnerability can be used by local unprivileged users to corrupt the kernel memory in order to gain root privileges.
IBM Lotus Quickr qp2.cab ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
A buffer overflow in the ActiveX control qp2.cab in IBM Lotus Quickr for Domino allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the Attachment_Times method.
GitLab EE/CE 8.5 to 12.9 is vulnerable to a an path traversal when moving an issue between projects. Tested on GitLab CE 12.9.0 CVE-2020-10977
