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.

JNDI features used in configuration, log messages, and parameters present in Apache Log4j2 do not protect against attacker controlled LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints. This library, used by VMware vRealize Operations Manager, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute system commands.
An OGNL injection vulnerability present in ActionChainResult class of xwork jar file would allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a Confluence Server or Data Center instance.
This module exploits an information disclosure vulnerability, a remote file download vulnerability and a directory traversal vulnerability in VMware vRealize Log Insight to deploy an agent with root privileges.

Microsoft Exchange Proxylogon Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit
A combination of a server-side request forgery vulnerability and an arbitrary file write vulnerability, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute commands with SYSTEM privileges in Microsoft Exchange Server.
A JSON deserialization vulnerability present in the test alert actions allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
CVE-2021-41773 A flaw was found in a change made to path normalization in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.49. An attacker could use a path traversal attack to map URLs to files outside the expected document root. If files outside of the document root are not protected by "require all denied" these requests can succeed. Additionally this flaw could leak the source of interpreted files like CGI scripts. This issue only affects Apache 2.4.49 and not earlier versions.

VMware vCenter Server Log4shell Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit
JNDI features used in configuration, log messages, and parameters present in Apache Log4j2 do not protect against attacker controlled LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints. This library, used by VMware vCenter Server, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute system commands.
CVE-2021-22205 An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 11.9. GitLab was not properly validating image files that were passed to a file parser which resulted in a remote command execution.

Veeam Backup and Replication Backup Service Remote Code Execution Exploit
A vulnerability in the Backup Service of Veeam Backup and Replication component allows encrypted credentials stored in the configuration database to be obtained. This may lead to gaining access to the backup infrastructure hosts.
This update adds a module that checks the vulnerability and retrieves all the credentials and another module to deploy an agent.

Spring4Shell
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.
This module exploits two vulnerabilities in Trend Micro Threat Discovery Appliance.
The first is an authentication bypass vulnerability via a file delete in logoff.cgi which resets the admin password back to 'admin' upon a reboot. This is useful if the password for the admin user is unknown.
The second is an authenticated command injection flaw using the timezone parameter in the admin_sys_time.cgi interface.
A vulnerability in Pulse Connect Secure could allow an authenticated administrator to perform a file write via a maliciously crafted archive uploaded in the administrator web interface.
IPCop 2.1.8 suffers from remote code execution. Program is run os command when send e-mail.and tried inject parameters. Password is vulnerable. email.cgi is not valide email password this reason to run arbitary execute os command as `root`.

A vulnerability in the library Apache Santuario SAML SSO (Single Sign-On) method used by Zoho ManageEngine products allows to unauthenticated remote code attackers to execute system commands.
Wordpress Ultimate Member Plugin Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution Exploit Update
The vulnerability allows to an unauthenticated attacker to register as an administrator and take full control of the website. The problem occurs with the plugin registration form. In this form it's possible to change certain values for the account to be registered. This includes the "wp_capabilities" value, which determines the user's role on the website. This update adds a print in the module output window.
