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.

Product Name
Image Magick Command Injection Exploit
Insufficient input validation in ImageMagick can lead to code execution when processing with certain types of files. This update introduces a module that generates an MVG format file that, when manipulated by the vulnerable versions of ImageMagick tools, deploys an agent in the supported systems.
This module executes a program designed to check for a buffer overflow in glibc's getaddrinfo function. Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the send_dg and send_vc functions in the libresolv library in the GNU C Library allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS response that triggers a call to the getaddrinfo function with the AF_UNSPEC or AF_INET6 address family.

Yaskawa SigmaWin Plus ActiveX Arbitrary File Delete Exploit
This module will listen for HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and queue client side exploits as HTTP responses in an attempt to install an OS agent on the client.
The specific flaw exists within the activate_doit function of the service. The issue lies in the handling of the server parameter which can result in overflowing a stack-based buffer.
This update introduces more accurate information about vulnerable targets.
The specific flaw exists within the edit_lf_process resource of the AccuRev Reprise License Manager service. The issue lies in the ability to write arbitrary files with controlled data. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of SYSTEM.
This update introduces more accurate information about vulnerable targets.
Atlassian Bamboo is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of a deserialization vulnerability present in the commons-collections Java library.
By exploiting known methods, it is possible to remotely load a InvokerTransformer Java class, which allows the execution of system commands.
TrendMicro node.js HTTP Server Remote Code Execution Exploit
The Password Manager component installed by various Trend Micro products runs a Node.js HTTP server by default. This web server opens multiple HTTP RPC ports for handling API requests. For example, the openUrlInDefaultBrowser API function, which internally maps to a ShellExecute function call, allows and attacker to execute arbitrary commands on localhost without the need of any type of credentials.
Jenkins is prone to a remote vulnerability due to deserialization of untrusted inputs, allowing attackers to instantiate arbitrary Java objects leading to remote code execution.
There are several API endpoints that allow low-privilege users to POST XML files that then get deserialized by Jenkins. Maliciously crafted XML files sent to these API endpoints could result in arbitrary code execution.
This update adds support for HTTPS and IPv6. It also allows to change the application root path.
Apple Mac OS X XPC Entitlements Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The Admin framework in Apple OS X contains a hidden backdoor API to gain root privileges. A local user can exploit this flaw in the checking of XPC entitlements.
Jenkins is prone to a remote vulnerability due to deserialization of untrusted inputs, allowing attackers to instantiate arbitrary Java objects leading to remote code execution.
There are several API endpoints that allow low-privilege users to POST XML files that then get deserialized by Jenkins. Maliciously crafted XML files sent to these API endpoints could result in arbitrary code execution.
Exim perl_startup Configuration Variable Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Exim installations compiled with Perl support do not perform sanitation of the environment before loading a perl script defined with perl_startup setting in exim config file. This can be exploited by malicious local attackers to gain root privileges.
Microsoft Internet Explorer VBScript Filter Type Confusion Exploit (MS15-106)
The Filter function of the VBScript engine in Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a type confusion vulnerability when processing specially crafted parameters.
This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable machines by enticing unsuspecting users to visit a specially crafted website.
The amd64_set_ldt() function in sys/amd64/amd64/sys_machdep.c in the FreeBSD kernel code is prone to an integer signedness error when processing a system call with specially crafted parameters originated from user space.
This issue ultimately leads to a kernel heap overflow, which can be used by unprivileged local attackers to cause a kernel panic and crash the machine.
This update resolves an error when importing services from a file.

Advantech WebAccess webvrpcs Service BwWebSvc ProjectName sprintf Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the 0x13C83 IOCTL in the BwOpcTool subsystem. A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in a call to memcpy using the ProjectName parameter. An attacker can use this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of an administrator of the system.
The specific flaw exists within the activate_doit function of the service. The issue lies in the handling of the actserver parameter which can result in overflowing a stack-based buffer.
NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Driver Service Privilege Escalation
This module will exploit a vulnerability in the NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Driver Service. It will wait for users to login on the target system, installing agents for every user, until being able to install an agent for a user in the Built In Administrators group.
