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.

RealVNC Server Privilege Escalation Exploit
A vulnerability was discovered in RealVNC VNC Server installations on Windows when running MSI repair, which can lead to a local user privilege escalation.
ServerView has a Remote Command Execution in its Webinterface. The DBAsciiAccess CGI script provides a "ping" functionality. In the subparameter "Servername" of the parameter "Parameterlist" of this script, the IP address to be pinged is given. This IP address will be given as a parameter to the ping program without further sanitization. By adding a trailing semicolon after the IP, an attacker can add arbitrary shell commands which will be executed with the permissions of the webserver user.
A Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux application running on JDK 9+ may be vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) via data binding. The specific exploit requires the application to run on Tomcat as a WAR deployment. If the application is deployed as a Spring Boot executable jar, i.e. the default, it is not vulnerable to the exploit. However, the nature of the vulnerability is more general, and there may be other ways to exploit it.

SCADAPRO
IBM i Access Client Solutions Java DLL hijacking Exploit
IBM i Access Family could allows to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by DLL search order hijacking vulnerability. By placing a specially crafted file in a compromised folder, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
Tenda routers G3 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by a command injection vulnerability in function formSetNetCheckTools. By sending a specially-crafted request using the hostName parameter, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the system.
ICL ScadaFlex II SCADA Controllers SC-1/SC-2 Remote File Delete
You can delete any file on the device that is not authenticated. On ICL ScadaFlex II SCADA Controller SC-1 and SC-2 1.03.07 devices, unauthenticated remote attackers can overwrite, delete, or create files.
An AJP request smuggling present in F5 BIG-IP Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to create an administrative user and execute OS systems commands in the context of the root user.
AstonSoft DeepBurner is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before using it in a memory copy operation.
RainbowPlayer is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.
