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.

Free MP3 CD Ripper Buffer Overflow SEH Exploit
A Buffer Overflow exists when parsing .mp3/wma files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .mp3/wma files.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of UMP files. When parsing the BgOnOffBitAddr element, the process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of Administrator
Linux Kernel Netfilter Set Element Init TC HBO Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A type confusion bug in nft_set_elem_init (leading to a buffer overflow) could be used by a local attacker to escalate privileges, a different vulnerability than CVE-2022-32250. (The attacker can obtain root access, but must start with an unprivileged user namespace to obtain CAP_NET_ADMIN access.) This can be fixed in nft_setelem_parse_data in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c.
A Buffer Overflow exists in DVD X Player Standard when parsing .plf files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .plf files.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of FLN files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
A vulnerability in the library Apache Santuario SAML SSO (Single Sign-On) method used by Zoho ManageEngine products allows to unauthenticated remote code attackers to execute system commands.
Microsoft Windows Common Log File System Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
The Common Log File System Driver (clfs.sys) present in Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to a memory corruption vulnerability. This module allows a local unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by creating a specially crafted base log file.

OrientDB Remote Command Execution Exploit
This module exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability in OrientDB by abusing SQL queries on OUser/ORole without the privileges which allows users to get Code Execution.
Linux Kernel SO_SNDBUFFORCE Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a signedness issue in the Linux Kernel. The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.14 mishandles negative values of sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf, which allows local users to escalate privileges.
Microsoft Office Malformed EPS Use-After-Free File Vulnerability Exploit
Use After Free in Microsoft Office allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted EPS file in an Office document, leading to improper memory allocation.
3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH CODESYS Web Server Upload Restricted File and Buffer Overflow Exploit
A specially crafted web server request may allow the upload of arbitrary files to the CODESYS Web Server without authorization which may allow remote code execution.
A malicious user could overflow a buffer by providing overly long strings to functions that handle the XML. Because the function does not verify string size before copying to memory, the attacker may then be able to crash the application or run arbitrary code.
Windows File History Service FHSVC Elevation of Privilege Exploit Update
A vulnerability exists in the file history service, which runs as system, and can be exploited to elevate from ordinary users to system privileges. This update adds the ability for the user to select the folder to write to.

Wordpress Ultimate Member Plugin Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution Exploit Update
The vulnerability allows to an unauthenticated attacker to register as an administrator and take full control of the website. The problem occurs with the plugin registration form. In this form it's possible to change certain values for the account to be registered. This includes the "wp_capabilities" value, which determines the user's role on the website. This update adds a print in the module output window.
phpMyAdmin is prone to a regexp abuse via an eval modifier which can be found in old PHP versions. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to run arbitrary php code on the affected server.
PHP versions 4.3.0-5.4.6 had a "feature" which allowed users to run a RegExp Pattern Modifier using PREG_REPLACE_EVAL and may lead to execute code.
phpMyAdmin had an issue in their code that can be exploited from a table replace call.
