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.

Exploit Type
Product Name
AMD PlaysTV Service Privilege Escalation Exploit
In the plays.tv service before 1.27.7.0, as distributed in AMD driver-installation packages and Gaming Evolved products, executes code at a user-defined (local) path as SYSTEM when the execute_installer parameter is used in an HTTP message.
Beckhoff TwinCAT Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Kernel drivers in Beckhoff TwinCAT 3.1 Build 4022.4, TwinCAT 2.11 R3 2259, and TwinCAT 3.1 lack proper validation of user-supplied pointer values. An attacker who is able to execute code on the target may be able to exploit this vulnerability to obtain SYSTEM privileges.
QNAP Qcenter Virtual Appliance Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
QNAP Qcenter Virtual Appliance contains multiples vulnerabilities which allows authenticated attackers to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system with root privileges.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Acrobat Reader DC Double-Free Vulnerability Exploit
Adobe Reader has a built-in sandbox feature that usually makes exploitation difficult. By combining vulnerabilities, this attack achieves code execution and then bypasses the sandbox protection to fully compromise the targeted system.
Apache CouchDB Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
Apache CouchDB contains an Authentication Bypass vulnerability and a OS Command Injection vulnerability, which allows attackers to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system.
Exploits / Authentication Weakness / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Zip-n-Go Buffer Overflow Exploit
A Buffer Overflow exists in Zip-n-Go 4.9 when parsing .ZIP files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .ZIP files.
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.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of DVP files. The process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. This update adds CVE number and corrects some xml tags.
Dup Scout 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 specific flaw exists within the implementation of the 0x13C80 IOCTL in the BwOpcTool subsystem in VdBroadWinGetLocalDataLogEx. When parsing the NamedObject structure, the process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length buffer.
The specific flaw exists within implementation of the 0x138bd IOCTL in the webvrpcs process. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer.
Microsoft Windows Win32k SetImeinfoEx Privilege Escalation Exploit
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.
A Buffer Overflow exists in DVD X Player Standard when parsing .plf files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .plf files.
Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and speculative execution of memory reads before the addresses of all prior memory writes are known may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis, aka Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), Variant 4.
Dell EMC Data Protection Advisor Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
Dell EMC Data Protection Advisor contains an Authentication Bypass vulnerability and a OS Command Injection vulnerability, which allows attackers to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system.

Impact
Tp-link EAP Controller Exploit
Tp-link EAP Controller does not handle privilege management correctly so a non privileged user can execute privileged actions. This module will try to change the device's settings and enable ssh in order to take control of the managed Access Points.
Exploits / Authentication Weakness / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Rockwell Automation RSLogix Micro Starter Lite Project File Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of a RSS file. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length buffer.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of FLN files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of CXP files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
