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.

Windows Common Log File System Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The cause of the vulnerability is due to the lack of a strict bounds check for the SignaturesOffset field in the Base Block for the base log file (BLF) in CLFS.sys. This issue can lead to a Privilege Escalation.
Windows Common Log File System Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit (CVE-2023-28252)
The cause of the vulnerability is due to the lack of a strict bounds check for some fields in the Base Block for the base log file (BLF) in CLFS.sys. This issue can lead to a Privilege Escalation.
Windows Common Log File System Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
The cause of the vulnerability is due to the lack of a strict bounds check for the SignaturesOffset field in the Base Block for the base log file (BLF) in CLFS.sys. This issue can lead to a Privilege Escalation.This version adds support for Windows 10 and some Windows servers.
There is an authentication vulnerability in the Windows debugging subsystem (smss). This allows any user to obtain a handle with any access of any process running. With this handle an agent is injected in a SYSTEM process.

Impact Professional
Windows Error Reporting Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly impose security restrictions in Windows Error Reporting Service, which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation and allows a local user (non included in Administrator group) to escalate privileges to NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM.
Windows Error Reporting Local Privilege Escalation Exploit BOF
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly impose security restrictions in Windows Error Reporting Service, which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation and allows a local user (non included in Administrator group) to escalate privileges to NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM.
Windows Error Reporting Manager Arbitrary File Move Elevation of Privilege Exploit (CVE-2019-1315)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows Error Reporting manager improperly handles hard links. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could overwrite a targeted file leading to an elevated status.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and take control of an affected system.
Windows File History Service FHSVC Elevation of Privilege Exploit Update
A vulnerability exists in the file history service, which runs as system, and can be exploited to elevate from ordinary users to system privileges. This update adds the ability for the user to select the folder to write to.
Windows I2O Utility Filter Driver Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Windows I2O Utility Filter Driver when the 0x222F80 IOCTL in i2omgmt.sys is invoked with a specially crafted parameter. The IOCTL 0x222F80 handler in the i2omgmt.sys device driver in Windows I2O Utility Filter Driver allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (IRP) parameters.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the Microsoft Color Management Module via a jpeg image with crafted ICC profile format tags and installs an agent.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the Microsoft Color Management Module via a jpeg image with crafted ICC profile format tags and installs an agent. This update adds support for browser URL redirection.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in WebViewFolderIcon ActiveX control of Microsoft Internet Explorer and installs an agent. This update adds support for more platforms.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in WebViewFolderIcon ActiveX control of Microsoft Internet Explorer and installs an agent. This update fixes a bug introduced by Mach Exception Handling exploit.
Some Windows kernel versions are susceptible to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue allows remote attackers to crash affected kernels, denying further network service to legitimate users (MS06-007).
Windows Live Mail 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 as an .EML file.
Windows Macrovision (SECDRV.SYS) Memory Corruption Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Windows XP when the 0xCA002813 function is invoked with a specially crafted parameter. The IOCTL 0xCA002813 handler in the SECDRV.SYS device driver in Macrovision products, installed by default in Windows XP and Windows 2003, allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters.
Windows Macrovision (SECDRV.SYS) Memory Corruption Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Windows XP and Windows 2003 when the 0xCA002813 function is invoked with a specially crafted parameter. The IOCTL 0xCA002813 handler in the SECDRV.SYS device driver in Macrovision products, installed by default in Windows XP and Windows 2003, allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters.
This update corrects the CVE number and adds Windows 2003 as Supported System.
This module exploits a remote vulnerability that could allow an attacker to send a specially crafted SMB message to an affected system causing a denial of service (MS06-035).
