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.

QNAP Qcenter Virtual Appliance Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
QNAP Qcenter Virtual Appliance contains multiples vulnerabilities which allows authenticated attackers to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system with root privileges.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Microsoft Windows SchRpcSetSecurity Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles calls to Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC).An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the security context of the local system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
IBM Informix Open Admin Tool SOAP welcomeServer PHP Remote Code Execution Exploit
IBM Informix Open Admin Tool is vulnerable to an unauthenticated php remote code execution, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary php code in the system.
VX Search Enterprise is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling a crafted request, this can trigger an overflow in a finite-sized internal memory buffer, and install an agent with SYSTEM privileges.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of DVP files. The process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. This update adds CVE number and corrects some xml tags.
A command injection vulnerability allows an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code on a server running Cacti, if a specific data source was selected for any monitored device.
A java deserialization vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of VMware Aria Operations for Logs in the context of the root user account.
Microsoft Windows COM Aggregate Marshaler Type Confusion Exploit
An elevation of privilege exists in Windows COM Aggregate Marshaler. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
PHPMailer is prone to a abuse the mailSend function. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to pass extra parameters to the mail command and consequently execute arbitrary code via a \" (backslash double quote) in a crafted Sender property.
This updates adds x86/x64 and HTTP/HTTPS Channel Support.
A critical vulnerability, identified and cataloged as CVE-2023-38831, has been discovered. This vulnerability allows attackers to create modified RAR or ZIP archives that contain both harmless files and malicious ones. The malicious files are typically scripts located within a folder that shares the same name as the harmless file.
A path traversal vulnerability in SysAid on-prem allows unauthenticated remote attackers to upload arbitrary files to the system. This allows the upload of a malicious WAR file to the web server's root directory leading to the execution of OS system commands.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
IBM Performance Tools for i QAVCPP Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
An improper privilege management vulnerability in IBM Performance Tools for i allows authenticated local attackers with command line access to gain all object access to the host operating system.
The vulnerability can be exploited by abusing the QPFR/QAVCPP program.
Microsoft WordPad LinkedObject UNC Path Information Disclosure Exploit
This exploit leverages an information disclosure vulnerability in Microsoft WordPad. By using a malicious file, unauthorized access can be obtained, allowing for the theft of NTLM hashes.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS16-135) Update 2
This module exploits a vulnerability in win32k.sys. By forcing an invalid combination of window style and window menu a local attacker can trigger a kernel arbitrary write and elevate privileges.
This update adds support to Windows 2008 (32 and 64 bits) and Windows 2008 R2 (64 bits)
Comba AC2400 devices are prone to password disclosure via a simple crafted /09/business/upgrade/upcfgAction.php?download=true request to the web management server. The request doesnt require any authentication and will lead to saving the DBconfig.cfg file. At the end of the file, the login information is stored in cleartext.
