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.

Microsoft Windows splwow64 Untrusted Pointer Dereference Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
The specific flaw exists within the user-mode printer driver host process splwow64.exe. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied value prior to dereferencing it as a pointer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges from low integrity and execute code in the context of the current user at medium integrity.
This update improves the reliability and adds support for more patch levels.
Mitsubishi MC Works64 SCADA Remote Arbitrary empty File Create
This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them.

SCADA
VERITAS Backup Exec Agent exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in VERITAS Backup Exec Remote Agent 9.0 through 10.0 for Windows allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Spring Framework Spring4Shell Remote Code Execution Exploit
An unsafe data binding used to populate an object from request parameters (either query parameters or form data) to set a Tomcat specific ClassLoader in Spring MVC and Spring WebFlux applications allows unauthenticated attackers to upload and execute a JSP file in the Tomcat virtual file system webapps directory.

Goodtech Telnet Daemon Buffer Overflow Exploit
There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the administration web server for GoodTech Telnet Server which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string to port 2380.
AVID Media Composer Phonetic Indexer Buffer Overflow Exploit
Avid Media Composer is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability within the Phonetic Indexer (AvidPhoneticIndexer.exe) because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer.
GE Proficy Historian KeyHelp ActiveX LaunchTriPane Code Execution Exploit
GE Proficy Historian is prone to a Code execution vulnerability in the KeyScript ActiveX control from keyhelp.ocx. The function LaunchTriPane use the -decompile option and can be abused to write arbitrary files on the remote system.
An authentication bypass vulnerability present in com.vmware.vcops.ui.util.MainPortalFilter class, an information disclosure vulnerability present in com.vmware.vcops.ui.action.SupportLogsAction and a local privilege escalation in the generateSupportBundle.py script; allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute system commands as root in VMware vRealize Operations Manager by using a dashboard shared link.

Microsoft Windows Win32k TrackPopupMenu Null Pointer Dereference Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS14-058) Update 2
This module exploits a null pointer dereference in win32k.sys by abusing of xxxSendMessageTimeout function. The TrackPopupMenu API function is used to trigger the vulnerability.
This update adds support for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 platforms.
Linux Kernel x86_64 Ptrace Sysret Privilege Escalation Exploit
On x86_64 Intel CPUs, sysret to a non-canonical address causes a fault on the sysret instruction itself after the stack pointer has been set to a usermode-controlled value, but before the current privilege level (CPL) is changed.
A flaw in the ptrace subsystem of the Linux kernel allows a tracer process to set the RIP register of the tracee to a non-canonical address, which is later used when returning to user space with a sysret instruction instead of iret after a system call, thus bypassing sanity checks that were previously introduced to fix related vulnerabilities.
This update exploits a deserialization vulnerability in SerializationTypeConverter when converting powershell remoting objects to execute OS commands as SYSTEM.
The map_yp_alias function in functions/imap_general.php in SquirrelMail before 1.4.18 and NaSMail before 1.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a username string that is used by the ypmatch program. This module works if map:map_yp_alias is set as the imap server address in config.php, which is not the default setting.
