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.

An AccessControlContext attribute in the java.beans.Statement class of Oracle Java can be overwritten by unprivileged applets by using specially crafted Java Beans Expressions and Statements, even when the AccessControlContext attribute is declared as final. This flaw allows an unprivileged Java applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user. WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module.
Simple Web Server GET Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Simple Web Server when processing HTTP GET Request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command.

Microsoft Windows Ancillary Function Driver Double Free Vulnerability Exploit (MS14-040) Update
This module exploits a double-free vulnerability in "afd.sys" by calling to "AfdTransmiteFile" function with crafted parameters. This module adds support to Microsoft Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 2008 and Windows 8.1
This module exploits a remote vulnerability that could allow an attacker to send a specially crafted SMB message to an affected system causing a denial of service (MS06-035). 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 module sends HTTP requests with specially crafted data making the PHP interpreter to consume lot of resources. This attack prevents the victim server from processing requests from legitimate clients and probably will make the server non-operational. This is update fixes an issue when launching the module from an agent running in a linux system.

Docker Desktop Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Docker Desktop allows local privilege escalation to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM because it mishandles the collection of diagnostics with Administrator privileges, leading to arbitrary DACL permissions overwrites and arbitrary file writes. This affects Docker Desktop Enterprise before 2.1.0.9, Docker Desktop for Windows Stable before 2.2.0.4, and Docker Desktop for Windows Edge before 2.2.2.0

Microsoft Windows Print Spooler Service Arbitrary File Write Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Print Spooler service improperly allows arbitrary writing to the file system. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code with elevated system privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
Microsoft Windows win32kbase Use After Free using Direct Composition Privileged Escalation Exploit
The vulnerability is an Use After Free Privilege Escalation in win32kbase and occurs in the DirectComposition::CInteractionTrackerBindingManagerMarshaler::SetBufferProperty function, which is the handler for the SetResourceBufferProperty command of a CInteractionTrackerBindingManagerMarshaler.
