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.

Product Name
Microsoft Windows Schannel Heap Overflow DoS (MS14-066) Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in "schannel.dll" by sending a crafted certificate packet to the "Internet Information Services" server via TLS protocol producing a heap overflow in the critical LSASS Windows process. This update reduces the time of the target exploitation. Besides, all targets supported are added in the documentation.
Microsoft Windows SchRpcSetSecurity Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles calls to Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC).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.
Microsoft Windows Service Tracing Privilege Escalation Exploit (CVE-2020-0668)
An arbitrary privileged file move operation exists in Microsoft Windows Service Tracing. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute code with elevated permissions.
To exploit the vulnerability, a locally authenticated attacker could run a specially crafted application.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by ensuring the Windows Kernel properly handles objects in memory.
Microsoft Windows Shell File Association Vulnerability Exploit (MS14-027)
When the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\exefile" registry key is modified by this exploit and a Windows or third party service calls to the "ShellExecute" function, an invalid association file is produced, finalizing the attack with the execution of a crafted program instead of the original program.
Microsoft Windows Shell File Association Vulnerability Exploit (MS14-027) Update
When the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\exefile" registry key is modified by this exploit and a Windows or third party service calls to the "ShellExecute" function, an invalid association file is produced, finalizing the attack with the execution of a crafted program instead of the original program.
This update fixes a regression introduced in version 2016_R1.
Microsoft Windows Shell Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit (CVE-2018-8414)
Microsoft Windows Shell does not properly validate file paths, allowing the execution of ".SettingContent-ms" files from outside the "ImmersiveControlPanel" folder.
Microsoft Windows SMB 2.0 Negociate Protocol Request Remote BSOD DoS
This module exploits a remote denial of service condition by sending a specially crafted SMB 2.0 packet to the target machine. Windows Vista and 7 are affected by this problem. This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.
