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.

Exploits / Remote Code Execution
SCADAPRO
WebHMI_RCE
The software allows the attacker to upload or transfer files of dangerous types to the WebHMI portal, that may be automatically processed within the product's environment or lead to arbitrary code execution. Tested on WebHMI 4.0.7475
Exploits / Remote Code Execution
SCADAPRO
Symantec Web Gateway Management Console Remote Code Execution Exploit
The Symantec Web Gateway Management Console before 5.2.5 allows some specially crafted entries to update the whitelist without validation. A lower-privileged but authorized management console user can bypass the whitelist validation using a specifically-modified script to create an unauthorized whitelist entry. This whitelist entry could potentially be leveraged in further malicious attempts against the network.
The Widget Connector macro in Atlassian Confluence Server allows remote attackers to achieve path traversal and remote code execution via server-side template injection.
This update adds support to control the FTP Server port number and socket timeout.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
QNAP Qcenter Virtual Appliance Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
QNAP Qcenter Virtual Appliance contains multiples vulnerabilities which allows authenticated attackers to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system with root privileges.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Cacti OS Command Injection Exploit
A command injection vulnerability allows an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code on a server running Cacti, if a specific data source was selected for any monitored device.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
PHPMailer Remote Command Execution Exploit Update
PHPMailer is prone to a abuse the mailSend function. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to pass extra parameters to the mail command and consequently execute arbitrary code via a \" (backslash double quote) in a crafted Sender property.
This updates adds x86/x64 and HTTP/HTTPS Channel Support.
A path traversal vulnerability in SysAid on-prem allows unauthenticated remote attackers to upload arbitrary files to the system. This allows the upload of a malicious WAR file to the web server's root directory leading to the execution of OS system commands.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Kinetica Admin getLogs Function Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
The Kinetica Admin web application did not properly sanitise the input for the function getLogs. This lack of sanitisation could be exploited to allow an authenticated attacker to run remote code on the underlying operating system.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
VMware Workspace ONE Access Hekate Remote Code Execution Exploit
An authentication bypass in OAuth2TokenResourceController access control service, a JDBC injection that allows remote code execution in DBConnectionCheckController dbCheck and a local privilege escalation via publishCaCert.hzn and gatherConfig.hzn; allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute system commands as root.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of PaperCut MF. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the SetupCompleted class. The issue results from improper access control. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Ruby on Rails Action Pack Inline Exec Exploit
Action Pack in Ruby on Rails allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Ruby code by leveraging an application's unrestricted use of the render method.

Cisco UCS Manager ping OS Command Injection Exploit
Cisco UCS Manager contains a OS Command Injection vulnerability in /settings/ping function, which allows unauthenticated attackers to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system.
Fortra (formerly, HelpSystems) GoAnywhere MFT suffers from a pre-authentication command injection vulnerability in the License Response Servlet due to deserializing an arbitrary attacker-controlled object. This issue was patched in version 7.1.2.

pfSense system groupmanager Command Execution Exploit
This module exploits a post authentication vulnerability in pfSense by abusing the system_groupmanager.php page which allows users to get Code Execution.
HPE Intelligent Management Center is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an improper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in deserialization of untrusted data in WebDMDebugServlet.
An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.
