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.

Exploit Type
Product Name
Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal Bypass File Disclosure Exploit
A path traversal vulnerability in Apache HTTP server may allow an unauthenticated attacker to download system files through specially crafted HTTP resource requests.
Microsoft Windows LUAFV Delayed Virtualization MAXIMUM_ACCESS DesiredAccess Vulnerability Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles calls to the LUAFV driver (luafv.sys). 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.
CVE-2021-41773 It was found that the fix for CVE-2021-41773 in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.50 was insufficient. An attacker could use a path traversal attack to map URLs to files outside the directories configured by Alias-like directives. If files outside of these directories are not protected by the usual default configuration "require all denied", these requests can succeed. If CGI scripts are also enabled for these aliased pathes, this could allow for remote code execution.
Dokan redistributable are vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the dokan1.sys driver. An attacker can create a device handle to the system driver and send arbitrary input that will trigger the vulnerability.
Linux Kernel Netfilter Xt Compat Target From User Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A heap out-of-bounds write affecting Linux since v2.6.19-rc1 was discovered in net/netfilter/x_tables.c. This allows an attacker to gain privileges or cause a DoS (via heap memory corruption) through user name space.
Grafana getPluginAssets Path Traversal Local File Disclosure Exploit
A path traversal vulnerability in Grafana may allow an unauthenticated attacker to download system files through specially crafted HTTP resource requests.
Apache CouchDB Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
Apache CouchDB contains an Authentication Bypass vulnerability and a OS Command Injection vulnerability, which allows attackers to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system.
CMS Made Simple allows remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary PHP code via command injection using the module import feature in admin/moduleinterface.php

Impact
Acrobat Reader DC Double-Free Vulnerability Exploit
Adobe Reader has a built-in sandbox feature that usually makes exploitation difficult. By combining vulnerabilities, this attack achieves code execution and then bypasses the sandbox protection to fully compromise the targeted system.
The software allows the attacker to upload or transfer files of dangerous types to the WebHMI portal, that may be automatically processed within the product's environment or lead to arbitrary code execution. Tested on WebHMI 4.0.7475
Exploits / Remote Code Execution
SCADAPRO
Windows Print Spooler Arbitrary File Deletion LPE Exploit
This vulnerability allows an Arbitrary File Deletion in any protected folder.
Used in conjunction with other vulnerability that allows Arbitrary File Writing, an attacker could escalate from unprivileged user to SYSTEM.
An issue was discovered in Zimbra Collaboration (ZCS) 8.8.15 and 9.0. An attacker can upload arbitrary files through amavisd via a cpio loophole (extraction to /opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra/public) that can lead to incorrect access to any other user accounts. Zimbra recommends pax over cpio. Also, pax is in the prerequisites of Zimbra on Ubuntu; however, pax is no longer part of a default Red Hat installation after RHEL 6 (or CentOS 6). Once pax is installed, amavisd automatically prefers it over cpio.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Go Anywhere MFT Accept Deserialization Vulnerability Remote Code Execution Exploit
Fortra (formerly, HelpSystems) GoAnywhere MFT suffers from a pre-authentication command injection vulnerability in the License Response Servlet due to deserializing an arbitrary attacker-controlled object. This issue was patched in version 7.1.2.
A Buffer Overflow exists in Sync Breeze Enterprise 10.4.18 when parsing .XML files by Command Import. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .XML files.
Lepide Auditor Suite createdb Web Console Database Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit
The application allows an attacker to specify a server to perform authentication. That server also allows to execute controlled SQL directly against the database.
This module abuses of the previous vulnerabilities in order execute an agent as SYSTEM.
