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.

This module exploits a vulnerability present in PineApp Mail-SeCure. The specific flaw exists within the component ldapsynchnow.php, which lacks proper sanitization, thus allowing command injection.
Pixia is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named wintab32.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder as a .PXA file.
The attacker must entice a victim into opening a specially crafted .PXA file. This file and the associated binary may be delivered to a user through remote WebDAV shares. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.
PKZIP is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named dwmapi.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .ZIPX file.
This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in PLC Wireless Router GPN2.4P21-C-CN

Plone popen2 Remote Command Execution Exploit
This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in the Zope web application server used by Plone, by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected web site.
The vulnerability exists because it is possible to remotely invoke the popen2 function from the Python os package with arbitrary arguments in the context of the affected server. This can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable machine.
Point of View SCADA v8.0 Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. 0-Day
This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them.
Exploits / Client Side
SCADA
Point of View SCADA/HMI software Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
This module will listen for HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and queue client side exploits as HTTP responses in an attempt to install an OS agent on the client.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Pointdev IDEAL Administration, when importing a project file, may allow a remote unprivileged user who provides a crafted IPJ document that is opened by a local user to execute code on the system with the privileges of the user running Pointdev IDEAL Administration. This can be exploited to cause a stack based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is imported.
Pointdev IDEAL Migration is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the applications fail to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data, when handling .IPJ files.
PolicyKit pkexec Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
A local privilege escalation vulnerability was found on polkit's pkexec utility. The pkexec application is a setuid tool designed to allow unprivileged users to run commands as privileged users according predefined policies. The current version of pkexec doesn't handle the calling parameters count correctly and ends trying to execute environment variables as commands. An attacker can leverage this by crafting environment variables in such a way it'll induce pkexec to execute arbitrary code.
The POP Peeper client is vulnerable to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability is exploitable as a client side attack. A vulnerable POP Peeper user must connect to a server created by IMPACT Pro and attempt to retrieve mail in order for IMPACT Pro to exploit the vulnerable agent and deploy and agent on the users machine.

Postgres Plus Advanced Server DBA Management Server Remote Code Execution Exploit
The DBA Management Server component of EnterpriseDB Postgres Plus Advanced Server does not restrict access to the underlying JBoss JMX Console. This can be abused by remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server.
Power Tab Editor is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data when handling .PTB files.
POWERCOM UPSMON PRO for Windows Directory Traversal 0day
This module exploits a Directory Traversal vulnerability in POWERCOM UPSMON PRO for Windows, Path traversal vulnerability that can be exploited to read files outside of the web root
PowerFolder Server is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of a deserialization vulnerability present in the commons-collections Java library.
