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.

KONGTOP DVR devices A303, A403, D303, D305, and D403 contain a backdoor that prints the login password
Kolibri WebServer HTTP POST Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
Kolibri Webserver is vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow as a result of failure to properly validate user-supplied input when handling HTTP POST requests.
Kolibri Webserver HEAD Request Processing Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability in Kolibri Webserver is caused by a buffer overflow error when handling overly long HEAD requests. This action could allow remote unauthenticated attackers to compromise a vulnerable web server via a specially crafted request.

Impact
Kolibri Web Server Get Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
Buffer overflow in Kolibri Web Server allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long URI in a GET request.
KingView Scada is vulnerable to a buffer overflow error in the HistorySvr.exe module when processing malformed packets sent to port 777/TCP. This update adds new indirection using shell32.dll version 6.0.0.2900.5512.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Kingsoft Writer by using a crafted .doc file which causes a stack-based buffer overflow which allows arbitrary code execution on the targeted system.

Kingsoft Writer 2010 plgpf DLL Hijacking Exploit
Kingsoft Writer 2010 is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of plgpf.dll if this dll is located in the same folder than .WPS file.

Impact
Kingsoft Office wpsio Buffer Overflow Exploit
In module wpsio, a BSTR string stored in the file is copied to the stack buffer, without checking its length, leading to a stack buffer overflow.
Kingsoft Internet Security Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Kingsoft Internet Security. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaws exists within the processing of IOCTL 0x80030004 or 0x80030008 by the KWatch3.sys (internet security) kernel driver. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied data which can result in a kernel stack buffer overflow.
Kinetica Admin getLogs Function Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
The Kinetica Admin web application did not properly sanitise the input for the function getLogs. This lack of sanitisation could be exploited to allow an authenticated attacker to run remote code on the underlying operating system.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Kibana Timelion Visualizer Remote Javascript OS Command Injection Exploit
An arbitrary code execution vulnerability in the Kibana Timelion visualizer allows an attacker with access to the application to send a request that will attempt to execute javascript code with permissions of the Kibana process on the host system.

Impact
Kguard SHA104 and SHA108 DVR credential disclosure vulnerability
Kguard Digital Video Recorder 104, 108, v2 does not have any authorization or authentication between an ActiveX client and the application server. Kguard SHA104 and SHA108 show all the usernames in the system together with their passwords
Buffer overflow in the administrator authentication process for Kerio Personal Firewall (KPF) 2.1.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a handshake packet. This update improves the reliability of the exploit when using the "Reuse connection" method to connect new agents.
A vulnerability in Microsoft's implementation of the Kerberos authentication protocol allows to modify a Kerberos ticket to remotely escalate privileges. This module exploits the vulnerability impersonating a user of the domain's Administrators group to install an agent in the domain controller with System privileges. This update solves issues related to name resolution of the target and to running the exploit with a source agent installed on a Linux host.
A vulnerability in Microsoft's implementation of the Kerberos authentication protocol allows to modify a Kerberos ticket to remotely escalate privileges. This module exploits the vulnerability impersonating a user of the domain's Administrators group to install an agent in the domain controller with System privileges. This update introduces the option to use NTLM hashes for authentication and Network RPT-AP integration.
KeePass Password Safe 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 .KDBX file.
