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. Witten by our own internal team, 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
rConfig ajaxServerSettingsChk and search_crud Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
An unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability in rConfig using the rootUname parameter present in ajaxServerSettingsChk.php allows an attacker to send a request that will attempt to execute OS commands with permissions of the rConfig process on the host system.
Also, an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability using the catCommand parameter present in search.crud.php allows an attackers to do the same as previous, but credentials are required.

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
Disk Pulse Enterprise Import Command Local Buffer Overflow Exploit
A Buffer Overflow exists when parsing .XML files by Command Import. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .XML files.
The flaw exists in the GetUserPasswd function in BwPAlarm.dll due to improper validation of user-supplied data before copying the data to a fixed size stack-based buffer when processing an IOCTL 70603 RPC message.
Sudo Root With User ID Local Privilege Escalation Exploit (CVE-2019-14287)
This module exploits a flaw in the way sudo implemented running commands with arbitrary user ID. If a sudoers entry is written to allow the attacker to run a command as any user except root, this flaw can be used by the attacker to bypass that restriction.
FreeBSD IOCTL CDIOCREADSUBCHANNELSYSSPACE Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A bug in the cdrom driver allows users with read access to the cdrom device to arbitrarily overwrite kernel memory when media is present thereby allowing a malicious user in the operator group to gain root privileges.
LibreOffice LibreLogo Python Global Event Scripting Vulnerability Exploit
By abusing document's event feature in LibreOffice and the LibreLogo script, an attacker can execute arbitrary python code from within a malicious document silently, without user warning.
This module performs a bypass of CVE-2019-9848 by using global script events.

Impact
Check Point Endpoint Security Initial Client Privilege Escalation Exploit
Check Point Endpoint Security includes data security, network security, advanced threat prevention, forensics, and remote access VPN solutions.
Some parts of the software run as a Windows service executed as ''NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM,'' which provides it with very powerful permissions, this vulnerability can be exploited to achieve privilege escalation, gaining access with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM level privileges.
Microsoft Windows Win32k xxxMNOpenHierarchy Vulnerability Exploit v1
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows when the Win32k component fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
Microsoft Internet Explorer VBScript UAF Exploit (2019)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the VBScript engine handles objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could take control of an affected system.
Windows Win32k Elevation Of Privilege Exploit (CVE-2019-0803) 2
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows when the Win32k component fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
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.

Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Protocol BlueKeep Use After Free Exploit Update
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Remote Desktop Services formerly known as Terminal Services when an unauthenticated attacker connects to the target system using RDP and sends specially crafted requests, aka 'Bluekeep'.In this update more supported versions were added.
LG Device Manager LHA Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The LHA.sys driver before 1.1.1811.2101 in LG Device Manager exposes functionality that allows low-privileged users to read and write arbitrary physical memory via specially crafted IOCTL requests and elevate system privileges. This occurs because the device object has an associated symbolic link and an open DACL
