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 Administrator UAC Elevation Bypass
This module abuses a design flaw in the way Microsoft Windows implements a UAC whitelist. The flaw could allow a process running with Medium Integrity to elevate itself to High Integrity without a UAC prompt when the process is run from an account in the administrators group.
An improper authorization vulnerability in Atlassian Confluence allows unauthenticated remote attackers to restore the database of the instance. This allows the creation of unauthorized administrator accounts and the later installation of malicious plugins that allow the execution of OS system commands.
Aigital Wireless-N Repeater Mini_Router v0.131229 was discovered to contain a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability via the sysCmd parameter in the formSysCmd function. This vulnerability is exploited via a crafted HTTP request.
Schneider Electric SpaceLogic C-Bus Home Controller (5200WHC2) OS Command Injection
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability exists that could cause remote root exploit when the command is compromised. Affected Products: SpaceLogic C-Bus Home Controller (5200WHC2), formerly known as C-Bus Wiser Homer Controller MK2 (V1.31.460 and prior)
Microsoft Windows AFD AfdSendMessage Privilege Escalation Exploit
The Ancillary Function Driver (AFD.sys) present in Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to a double-fetch that causes an integer overflow, which can result in out-of-bounds memory write to non-paged pool memory. This module allows a local unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by calling to the WSASendMsg function with crafted parameters.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Anti keylogger elite when the 0x002224A4 function is invoked with a specially crafted parameter. The IOCTL 0x002224A4 handler in the AKEProtect.sys device driver in Anti Keylogger Elite allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters to obtain system privileges.
PROMOTIC SCADA suffers from an ActiveX stack overflow. The exploit is triggered when the SaveCfg() method processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
A Server-side Template Injection vulnerability in CrushFTP allows unauthenticated remote attackers to leak server variables values and read arbitrary files in the operating system. This allows authentication bypass of currently logged in users via leak of session tokens by sessions.obj file or log files reading. If the leaked session token is from a CrushFTP administrator user then remote code execution is possible via arbitrary class instantiation vulnerability on the admin panel (dynamic SQL driver loading).
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the Microsoft Windows Plug and Play service and installs a level0 agent (MS05-039). This update adds support for Windows XP Professional (Services packs 0, 1 and 2) and Support for Windows 2003.
A backdoor introduced in the source code of MyBB allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on systems running vulnerable installations of MyBB.
This update adds support for the Solaris platform.
Microsoft Windows GDI Plus WMF Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS08-052) update
When the method WmfEnumState::DibCreatePatternBrush in the GDI Plus library processes a WMF file with a malformed CreatePatternBrush record, this produces a stack overflow.
This update adds support for Microsoft Windows XP SP0 Home/Professional and Microsoft Windows 2003 SP0 Standard/Enterprise Edition.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Mini-Stream Ripper when handling M3U files with overly long lines. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted M3U file.
Microsoft Unicode Script Processor Array Indexing Error Exploit (MS10-063)
The Unicode Script Processor (Uniscribe) implementation in USP10.DLL does not properly validate tables associated with malformed OpenType fonts, producing an array index error.
WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.
This update adds a wrapper to any agent that is created to be directly deployed and run on target systems. This wrapper helps evade detection of the agent by Anti Virus programs.
