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 modules exploits a vulnerability found in the Honewell HSC Remote Deployer ActiveX. This control can be abused by using the LaunchInstaller() function to execute an arbitrary HTA from a remote location.
Honestech VHS to DVD ILJ File Handling Buffer Overflow Exploit
Buffer overflow when handling malformed .ilj files. This vulnerability allow execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to open a crafted ".ilj" file.

Hitachi Energy Abb CAP and PST 0-Day Remote Arbitrary File Overwrite
This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them.
The specific flaw exists within the dbman.exe service, which listens on TCP port 2810 by default. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call.
The specific flaw exists within the dbman service, which listens on TCP port 2810 by default. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of SYSTEM.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Data Protector EXEC_BAR User Name Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within OmniInet.exe which listens by default on TCP port 5555. When parsing a malformed user name field in a request, the process blindly copies user supplied data into a fixed-length stack buffer. A remote attacker can abuse this to execute remote code under the context of SYSTEM.
Help and Manual is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named ijl15.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .HMXP file.
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.
GSM SIM Utility contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in GSM SIM Editor when handling misleading .sms files. When opening such files an error message is shown and then a buffer overflow occurs. This situation allows an attacker to overwrite an SEH Pointer and control the execution flow.
This module exploits a vulnerability found in GroundWork 6.7.0. This software is used for network, application and cloud monitoring. The vulnerability exists in the monarch_scan.cgi, where user controlled input is used in the perl qx function, which allows any remote authenticated attacker, whatever his privileges are, to inject system commands and gain arbitrary code execution.
Grandstream Audio Conferencing Unit Remote Reboot Vulnerability
The following Grandstream devices are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution by the combination of a command injection vulnerability and an authentication bypass
Grafana getPluginAssets Path Traversal Local File Disclosure Exploit
A path traversal vulnerability in Grafana may allow an unauthenticated attacker to download system files through specially crafted HTTP resource requests.
Grafana versions 8.0.0-beta1 through 8.3.0 (except for patched versions) iss vulnerable to directory traversal, allowing access to local files. The vulnerable URL path is: (grafana_host_url)/public/plugins//, where is the plugin ID for any installed plugin.
