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 Platform
Exploit Type
Product Name
Windows File History Service FHSVC Elevation of Privilege Exploit
A vulnerability exists in the file history service, which runs as system, and can be exploited to elevate from ordinary users to system privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to the usage of vulnerable collection of libraries that are part of DCMTK Toolkit, specifically the parser for the DICOM Upper Layer Protocol or DUL.
Buffer overflow/underflow can be triggered when sending and processing wrong length of ACSE data structure received over the network by the DICOM Store-SCP service.
Zoho ManageEngine ADAudit Plus Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution Exploit Update
A java deserialization vulnerability and a blind XXE vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute system commands in Zoho ManageEngine ADAudit Plus.
This update fixes the module attack logic when launched in webapps RPT.
OpenNMS Platform is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an insecure deployment of the JMX/RMI service used to manage and monitor the Java Virtual Machine.
An identified vulnerability in ScreenConnect allows attackers to bypass string comparison in the request path and access the setup wizard ("/SetupWizard.aspx") on configured instances. Exploiting this vulnerability enables an attacker to create an administrative user and upload a malicious ScreenConnect extension, potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE) on the server.
RESTWS alters the default page callbacks for entities to provide additional functionality. A vulnerability in this approach allows an unauthenticated attacker to send specially crafted requests resulting in arbitrary PHP execution.

Microsoft Windows WPAD Elevation of Privilege Exploit (MS16-077)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows when the Web Proxy Auto Discovery (WPAD) protocol falls back to a vulnerable proxy discovery process. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass security and gain elevated privileges on a targeted system.
Incorrect signedness comparison in the ioctl handler of the atkbd keyboard driver in the FreeBSD kernel can be leveraged by a local unprivileged user to overwrite a portion of the kernel memory, thus allowing the attacker to gain root privileges on the affected system.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of wTextLen information within VU3 files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer.
Pydio Cells Mailer Configuration Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
The administrative console in Pydio Cells allows a user with administrator role to set the path for the sendmail binary executable, when the "sendmail" option is selected in the mailer configuration.
Due to lack of sanitization in the given parameter, an administrator user can set the path to an arbitrary binary.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
MSI Ambient Link Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Multiple stack buffer overflows were found in the MSI AmbientLink MsIo64 driver when processing IoControlCode (IOCTL) 0x80102040, 0x80102044, 0x80102050, 0x80102054. Local attackers, including low integrity processes, can exploit these vulnerabilities and consequently gain NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges.
Microsoft Windows WalletService Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows WalletService handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute code with elevated permissions.
