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.

ICL ScadaFlex II SCADA Controllers SC-1/SC-2 Remote File Delete
You can delete any file on the device that is not authenticated. On ICL ScadaFlex II SCADA Controller SC-1 and SC-2 1.03.07 devices, unauthenticated remote attackers can overwrite, delete, or create files.
This module exploits two vulnerabilities in Trend Micro Threat Discovery Appliance.
The first is an authentication bypass vulnerability via a file delete in logoff.cgi which resets the admin password back to 'admin' upon a reboot. This is useful if the password for the admin user is unknown.
The second is an authenticated command injection flaw using the timezone parameter in the admin_sys_time.cgi interface.
An AJP request smuggling present in F5 BIG-IP Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to create an administrative user and execute OS systems commands in the context of the root user.
An unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability allowed attackers to transfer a serialized Java object to the Jenkins CLI, making Jenkins connect to an attacker-controlled LDAP server, which in turn can send a serialized payload leading to code execution, bypassing existing protection mechanisms.
Linux Kernel AF_PACKET Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a race condition vulnerability in the Linux Kernel via AF_PACKET sockets.
WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.
Samsung Security Manager Apache Felix Gogo Vulnerability Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Samsung Security Manager is prone to a privilege-escalation vulnerability that affects Apache Felix Gogo runtime. Due to an insecure default installation of the runtime, an attacker could then send commands that will be executed by the mentioned runtime.
Linux Kernel netfilter target_offset Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Linux kernel related to the netfilter target_offset field. This vulnerability can be exploited by a local unprivileged attacker to gain root privileges.
The specific flaw exists within the edit_lf_process resource of the Reprise License Manager service. The issue lies in the ability to write arbitrary files with controlled data. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of SYSTEM.
This update specify information about vulnerable targets and add more targets.
TrendMicro node.js HTTP Server Remote Code Execution Exploit
The Password Manager component installed by various Trend Micro products runs a Node.js HTTP server by default. This web server opens multiple HTTP RPC ports for handling API requests. For example, the openUrlInDefaultBrowser API function, which internally maps to a ShellExecute function call, allows and attacker to execute arbitrary commands on localhost without the need of any type of credentials.
Sudo Setcmnd Heap Buffer Overflow Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Sudo before 1.9.5p2 has a Heap-based Buffer Overflow, allowing privilege escalation to root via "sudoedit -s" and a command-line argument that ends with a single backslash character.
Cisco AnyConnect Posture Security Service TOCTOU Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The Security Service of Cisco AnyConnect Posture (HostScan) for Windows incorrectly restricts access to internal IPC commands. This could enable low-privileged users to achieve NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges by sending crafted IPC commands.
This module bypasses CVE-2021-1366 by abusing a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition in the priv_file_copy command.
A vulnerability in Pulse Connect Secure could allow an authenticated administrator to perform a file write via a maliciously crafted archive uploaded in the administrator web interface.
IPCop 2.1.8 suffers from remote code execution. Program is run os command when send e-mail.and tried inject parameters. Password is vulnerable. email.cgi is not valide email password this reason to run arbitary execute os command as `root`.

Microsoft MSHTML Remote Code Execution Exploit Update
This is a critical vulnerability in the MSHTML rendering engine. Microsoft Office applications use the MSHTML engine to process and display web content. An adversary who successfully exploits could achieve full control over a target system by using malicious ActiveX controls to execute arbitrary code.
This Update contains the following improvements:
-Default Connection method was changed to HTTPS
-Early Release Warning was removed
-Several "Application Name" in "Supported systems" property were added
