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.

CyberGhost CG6Service Service SetPeLauncherState Vulnerability Local Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
The CG6Service Service in CyberGhost has the SetPeLauncherState method which allows a user to launch a debugger automatically for a determined process.
This can be abused by an attacker to gain SYSTEM privileges by attaching to a SYSTEM process.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Jungo WinDriver. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of IOCTL 0x953824a7 by the windrvr12xx kernel driver. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied data which can result in an out-of-bounds write condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of kernel.
AMD Radeon Graphics Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
An improper privilege management in the AMD Radeon Graphics driver may allow an authenticated attacker to craft an IOCTL request to gain I/O control over arbitrary hardware ports or physical addresses resulting in a potential arbitrary code execution.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS16-135) Update
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.
Microsoft Windows MRXDAV.SYS WebDav Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS16-016)
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows MRXDAV.SYS driver. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges in a vulnerable target.
Panda Antivirus AgentSvc Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The vulnerable is a Local Privilege Escalation in AgentSvc.exe. This service creates a global section object and a corresponding global event that is signaled whenever a process that writes to the shared memory wants the data to be processed by the service. The vulnerability lies in the weak permissions that are affected to both these objects allowing "Everyone" including unprivileged users to manipulate the shared memory and the event.
Linux Kernel Dirty Pipe Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Improper initialization of the flags member of the pipe buffer structure in copy_page_to_iter_pipe and push_pipe functions in the Linux kernel, could allow an unprivileged local user to write to pages in the page cache backed by read-only files and escalate privileges on the system.
Cisco Webex Meetings webexservice Update Service DLL Hijacking Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A vulnerability in the update service of Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for Windows could allow an authenticated local attacker, to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM user privileges.
Linux Kernel Route4 Change UAF Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A use-after-free flaw was found in route4_change in the net/sched/cls_route.c filter implementation in the Linux kernel. This module allows to create a user with root privileges.
Windows System Drive Remapping Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A dll hijacking allows to inject DLLs into some privileged processes that contain an embedded manifest file with the tags level="asInvoker" and uiAccess="true". This allows to an user in administrator group to elevate from Medium to High integrity level
The vulnerability resides in parsing crafted Microsoft PowerPoint documents and produces a buffer overflow in the stack, leading to a privilege escalation to System.
Solarwinds DameWare Mini Remote Control Server Privilege Escalation Exploit
A certain message parsing function inside the Dameware Mini Remote Control service does not properly validate the input size of an incoming string before passing it to wsprintfw().
ATI Technologies Driver atillk64 Kernel Arbitrary Read Write Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
AMD ATI atillk64 allows low-privileged users to interact directly with physical memory by calling one of several driver routines that map physical memory into the virtual address space of the calling process. This could enable low-privileged users to achieve NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges via a DeviceIoControl call associated with MmMapIoSpace, IoAllocateMdl, MmBuildMdlForNonPagedPool, or MmMapLockedPages.
Microsoft Windows Graphics Component Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows when the DirectComposition component fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
CORSAIR iCUE Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The CorsairLLAccess64.sys and CorsairLLAccess32.sys drivers in CORSAIR iCUE before 3.25.60 allow local non-privileged users (including low-integrity level processes) to read and write to arbitrary physical memory locations, and consequently gain NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges, via a function call such as MmMapIoSpace.
Microsoft Windows CoreShellComServerRegistrar Open Process Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows Core Shell COM Server Registrar improperly handles COM calls. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially set certain items to run at a higher level and thereby elevate permissions.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and take control of an affected system.
Microsoft Windows Win32k xxxMNFindWindowFromPoint Vulnerability Exploit
