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.

An improper authorization vulnerability in Atlassian Confluence allows unauthenticated remote attackers to restore the database of the instance. This allows the creation of unauthorized administrator accounts and the later installation of malicious plugins that allow the execution of OS system commands.
Aigital Wireless-N Repeater Mini_Router v0.131229 was discovered to contain a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability via the sysCmd parameter in the formSysCmd function. This vulnerability is exploited via a crafted HTTP request.
Schneider Electric SpaceLogic C-Bus Home Controller (5200WHC2) OS Command Injection
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability exists that could cause remote root exploit when the command is compromised. Affected Products: SpaceLogic C-Bus Home Controller (5200WHC2), formerly known as C-Bus Wiser Homer Controller MK2 (V1.31.460 and prior)
Microsoft Windows AFD AfdSendMessage Privilege Escalation Exploit
The Ancillary Function Driver (AFD.sys) present in Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to a double-fetch that causes an integer overflow, which can result in out-of-bounds memory write to non-paged pool memory. This module allows a local unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by calling to the WSASendMsg function with crafted parameters.
Trend Micro InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance testConfiguration OS Command Injection Exploit
Trend Micro InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance is prone to an OS command injection vulnerability when handling HTTP requests for the /rest/testConfiguration resource.
This vulnerability can be leveraged by a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server.
Magento eCommerce Web Sites Deserialization Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module uses an unauthenticated deserialization vulnerability in Magento eCommerce Web Sites to perform an arbitrary write file to gain arbitrary PHP code execution on the affected system.

Microsoft Windows splwow64 Untrusted Pointer Dereference Privilege Escalation Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the user-mode printer driver host process splwow64.exe. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied value prior to dereferencing it as a pointer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges from low integrity and execute code in the context of the current user at medium integrity.

Microsoft Windows Print Spooler Service Arbitrary File Write Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Print Spooler service improperly allows arbitrary writing to the file system. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code with elevated system privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
Microsoft Windows win32kbase Use After Free using Direct Composition Privileged Escalation Exploit
The vulnerability is an Use After Free Privilege Escalation in win32kbase and occurs in the DirectComposition::CInteractionTrackerBindingManagerMarshaler::SetBufferProperty function, which is the handler for the SetResourceBufferProperty command of a CInteractionTrackerBindingManagerMarshaler.
