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.

Cisco Data Center Network Manager Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability Exploit
Cisco Data Center Network Manager is vulnerable to an authenticated arbitrary file upload, which allows to upload a WAR file to the Apache Tomcat webapps directory.
The Apache Tomcat webapps directory can be determined using a information disclosure vulnerability.
Authentication can be bypassed on versions 10.4(2) and below.

D-Link Central WiFiManager FTP Server Default Credentials Remote PHP File Upload Vulnerability Exploit
D-Link Central WiFiManager has an FTP server listening on port 9000 by default with fixed credentials. This allows to unauthenticated users to upload and execute PHP files in the web root, leading to remote code execution.

D-Link Central WiFiManager FTP Server Default Credentials Remote PHP File Upload Vulnerability Exploit Update
D-Link Central WiFiManager has an FTP server listening on port 9000 by default with fixed credentials. This allows to unauthenticated users to upload and execute PHP files in the web root, leading to remote code execution.
A vulnerability in the File Manager (wp-file-manager) plugin for WordPress, version 6.0 to 6.8, allows to unauthenticated remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code because.
The root cause is an unsafe renaming of a example elFinder connector file with the php extension.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows attackers to write php files to the wp-content/plugins/wp-file-manager/lib/files/ directory of Wordpress.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure Health Monitor UploadServlet Remote JSP File Upload Vulnerability Exploit
The TarArchive class blindly extracts tar archives without checking for directory traversals. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the system.
The pdkinstall development plugin is incorrectly enabled in release builds of Atlassian Crowd and Crowd Data Center. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to install a malicious plugin and execute code in the system.

.NET Assembly Execution
This update adds the capability to Windows agents of executing .net assemblies in the target's memory.
Also, a specific module to trigger SharpHound (BloodHound data Collector) is included in it.
Post Exploitation
Impact
Ransomware Simulation
This update adds a couple modules to simulate a ransomware attack in a previously exploited host. "Ransomware Simulation" to run the simulated ransomware attack. "Files Decryption after Ransomware Simulation" to decrypt previously encrypted files.
This update adds a new parameter to the "Ransomware Simulation" module: "RENAME FILES"; if set to TRUE, encrypted files will also be renamed by adding the .1mp4ct extension to them.

Microsoft Windows DHCP Server Heap Overflow Vulnerability DoS
A Heap Overflow vulnerability exists in the Windows Server DHCP service when an attacker sends specially crafted packets to a DHCP server. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code on the DHCP server.
Remote Netis ADSL Router allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.The FTP service is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack. Attackers simply need to log into the router and send and valid FTP command with a character offset of 1461 as the command input

Microsoft Windows Networks File System 4.1 Remote DoS
Microsoft Windows could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or BSOD the system, caused by a design flaw in the Network File System component.
The cause of the vulnerability is due to the lack of a strict bounds check for the SignaturesOffset field in the Base Block for the base log file (BLF) in CLFS.sys.
