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.

Impact
Wordpress Google Analytics Plugin Cross Site Scripting Exploit
Input passed to the "s" parameter in index.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user in googleanalytics.php. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.2.4. Other versions may be affected.
Exploits / Cross Site Scripting (XSS) / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Wordpress NextGEN Gallery Plugin Cross Site Scripting Exploit
This vulnerability results from an unsanitized input that can be crafted into an attack by manipulating the 'mode' parameter of the xml/media-rss.php script of NextGen Gallery plugin installation. Version 1.5.1 is verified as vulnerable. Older versions are probably affected too, but they were not tested at this time. Currently only Internet Explorer (version 6,7 and 8 with XSS filter disabled) is verified as vulnerable.
Exploits / Cross Site Scripting (XSS) / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Drupal SQL Injection Exploit
This module exploits a SQL Injection vulnerability in Drupal.An attacker can send a specially crafted data and execute arbitrary SQL commands leading to remote code execution.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Drupal BlogAPI Remote Code Execution Exploit
The BlogAPI module does not validate the extension of files that it is used to upload, enabling users with the "administer content with blog api" permission to upload harmful files. This module uploads an Core Impact agent, creates a php file to execute the agent and then makes a request to the file. The result is an Core Impact agent running on the webserver.
include/imageObjectIM.class.php in Coppermine Photo Gallery (CPG) before 1.4.15, when the ImageMagick picture processing method is configured, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the (1) quality, (2) angle, or (3) clipval parameter to picEditor.php.
This vulnerability abuses a metacharacter injection vulnerability in the diff.php script. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the www-data user account.

Impact
Awstats migrate Remote Code Execution Exploit
The web interface for AWStats 6.4 and 6.5, when statistics updates are enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in the migrate parameter.
A Reflected Cross Site Scripting vulnerability was found in the atksearch[contractnumber], atksearch_AE_customer[customer] and atksearchmode[contracttype] variables within the 'Organization Contracts' administration page. This is because the application does not properly sanitize the users input. Vulnerable version is = 1.3.4.

Exploits / Remote
Impact
Sophos Web Protection Appliance sblistpack Command Injection Exploit
The /opt/ws/bin/sblistpack Perl script in Sophos Web Protection Appliance, which can be reached from the web interface, is vulnerable to an OS command injection because its get_referers() function does not escape the first argument of the script before using it within a string that will be executed as a command by using backticks. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the affected appliance. The agent installed by this exploit runs with the privileges of the 'spiderman' user.
Zope standard_error_message Cross Site Scripting Exploit
Unspecified input is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user via a "standard_error_message" template. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. The vulnerabilities are reported in version 2.12.2, 2.11.5 and 2.10.21. Other versions may also be affected. Once the vulnerability is confirmed by Core Impact, if you want to check this exploit manually, replace the "REPLACE" keyword with "%80".

Impact
Xampp php_self Cross Site Scripting Exploit
XAMPP suffers from multiple XSS issues in several scripts that use the 'PHP_SELF' variable. The vulnerabilities can be triggered in the 'xamppsecurity.php', 'cds.php' and 'perlinfo.pl' because there isn't any filtering to the mentioned variable in the affected scripts. Attackers can exploit these weaknesses to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session.

Impact
Jetty Directory Listing Cross Site Scripting Exploit
Jetty versions 6.1.16 and below are vulnerables. A Cross-Site scripting vulnerability has been reported in Jetty. This vulnerability can be induced whenever Jetty displays a web directory listing. Client-side script code can be included in the HTTP response by appending it next to directory listing's path, preceded by a ';' character.
Microsoft Windows LNK Shortcut Automatic DLL Loading Exploit (MS15-020)
Microsoft Windows is prone to a vulnerability that may allow a DLL file to be automatically loaded because the software fails to handle LNK files properly. Specifically, the issue occurs when loading the icon of a shortcut file. A specially crafted LNK file can cause Windows to automatically execute code that is specified by the shortcut file. The attacker must entice a victim into viewing a specially crafted shortcut. The shortcut file and the associated binary may be delivered to a user through removable drives. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.
