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.

A vulnerability in the installer component of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows could allow an authenticated local attacker to copy user-supplied files to system level directories with system level privileges. The vulnerability is due to the incorrect handling of directory paths. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious file and copying the file to a system directory. An exploit could allow the attacker to copy malicious files to arbitrary locations with system level privileges.
Microsoft SharePoint Server DataSet Deserialization Remote OS Command Injection Exploit (CVE-2020-1147)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in .NET Framework, Microsoft SharePoint, and Visual Studio when the software fails to check the source markup of XML file input. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the process responsible for deserialization of the XML content.

Microsoft SharePoint Server CreateChildControls Server Side Include Vulnerability Exploit (CVE-2020-16952)
A server-side include in Microsoft SharePoint via CreateChildControls in DataFormWebPart class allows an authenticated user to leak the web.config file and forge a malicious ViewState with the extracted validation key.
The user credentials requires user with page creation privileges, a standard permission.

Shadow Stream Recorder Buffer Overflow Exploit
Shadow Stream Recorder is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the applications fail to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.
When using the Apache JServ Protocol (AJP), care must be taken when trusting incoming connections to Apache Tomcat. Tomcat treats AJP connections as having higher trust than, for example, a similar HTTP connection. If such connections are available to an attacker, they can be exploited in ways that may be surprising. In Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.30, 8.5.0 to 8.5.50 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.99, Tomcat shipped with an AJP Connector enabled by default that listened on all configured IP addresses.
Honeywell IP-Camera (HICC-1100PT) allows to unauthenticated user disclose the username and password remotely.

Adobe Flash Player _error Object Confusion Exploit
This module exploits an object type confusion vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. The specific error occurs due to the way Adobe Flash handles the AMF0 response (_error) when connecting to a malicious RTMP server. By supplying a crafted AMF0 response it is possible to execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable application.
VideoSpirit Pro is prone to a buffer overflow when parsing a .VISPRJ project file that contains an overly long "MP3" value. The vulnerability is caused due to a wrong check of the data before it is passed to strcpy(). This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .VISPRJ file.
The specific flaw exists within the AnnotateX dll ActiveX control included with the software. An attacker can use an unvalidated object parameter in the Insert() function to execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser.
Adobe Flash Player casi32 Integer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits an integer overflow in Adobe Flash Player. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of casi32. The issue lies in the failure to properly sanitize a user-supplied length value with a specific array implementation. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code within the context of the current process.
Iocomp Software ActiveX Control Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
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.
