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.

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`.
Public exploit: https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/50183
This module exploits a Use-After-Free vulnerability in Adobe Reader when handling a specially crafted PDF file.
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.
This update adds Javascript obfuscation to the PDF document and fixes some documentation issues.
Webmin 1.973 is affected by reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) to achieve Remote Command Execution through Webmin's running process feature.
Tested against Webmin 1.973

Windows ICC buffer overflow exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the Microsoft Color Management Module via a jpeg image with crafted ICC profile format tags and installs an agent.
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
Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 and 7.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, by calling InstallVersion.compareTo with an object instead of a string. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent.
Atlassian Jira Server/Data Center 8.16.0 - Cross-Site Scripting
CVE-2021-26078 The number range searcher component in Jira Server and Jira Data Center before version 8.5.14, from version 8.6.0 before version 8.13.6, and from version 8.14.0 before version 8.16.1 allows remote attackers inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript via across site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Exchange X-LINK2STATE CHUNK Exploit
This module exploits a heap based buffer overflow handling the X-LINK2STATE command in the SMTP service of Exchange Server.
PolicyKit pkexec Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
A local privilege escalation vulnerability was found on polkit's pkexec utility. The pkexec application is a setuid tool designed to allow unprivileged users to run commands as privileged users according predefined policies. The current version of pkexec doesn't handle the calling parameters count correctly and ends trying to execute environment variables as commands. An attacker can leverage this by crafting environment variables in such a way it'll induce pkexec to execute arbitrary code.
InduSoft Web Studio CEServer Remote Code Execution Exploit
The flaw exists in the Remote Agent (CEServer.exe) that listens by default on TCP port 4322, the process can not perform any authentication and copy the packages designed to a fixed size buffer.
A vulnerability was discovered in RealVNC VNC Server installations on Windows when running MSI repair, which can lead to a local user privilege escalation.
ServerView has a Remote Command Execution in its Webinterface. The DBAsciiAccess CGI script provides a "ping" functionality. In the subparameter "Servername" of the parameter "Parameterlist" of this script, the IP address to be pinged is given. This IP address will be given as a parameter to the ping program without further sanitization. By adding a trailing semicolon after the IP, an attacker can add arbitrary shell commands which will be executed with the permissions of the webserver user.
A Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux application running on JDK 9+ may be vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) via data binding. The specific exploit requires the application to run on Tomcat as a WAR deployment. If the application is deployed as a Spring Boot executable jar, i.e. the default, it is not vulnerable to the exploit. However, the nature of the vulnerability is more general, and there may be other ways to exploit it.
