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.

We provide pen testers with real-time updates for a wide range of exploits for different platforms, operating systems, and applications.
Search our continuously growing library to discover an exploit that will allow you to gain and retain access on the target host or application.
A successful exploit could allow the attacker to view arbitrary files within the web services file system on the targeted device. As an example, this could allow an attacker to impersonate another VPN user and establish a Clientless SSL VPN or AnyConnect VPN session to the device as that user
Cisco AnyConnect Posture Security Service Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Multiple vulnerabilities in the Security Service of Cisco AnyConnect Posture for Windows could allow an authenticated local attacker, to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM user privileges.
Cisco AnyConnect Posture Security Service TOCTOU Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The Security Service of Cisco AnyConnect Posture (HostScan) for Windows incorrectly restricts access to internal IPC commands. This could enable low-privileged users to achieve NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges by sending crafted IPC commands.
This module bypasses CVE-2021-1366 by abusing a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition in the priv_file_copy command.
Cisco AnyConnect Posture Security Service TOCTOU Local Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
The Security Service of Cisco AnyConnect Posture (HostScan) for Windows incorrectly restricts access to internal IPC commands. This could enable low-privileged users to achieve NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges by sending crafted IPC commands.
This module bypasses CVE-2021-1366 by abusing a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition in the priv_file_copy command.
This update adds code to launch the exploit for CVE-2021-1366 if the detected version is vulnerable to it.
A vulnerability in the installer component of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows could allow an authenticated local attacker to copy user-supplied files to system level directories with system level privileges. The vulnerability is due to the incorrect handling of directory paths. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious file and copying the file to a system directory. An exploit could allow the attacker to copy malicious files to arbitrary locations with system level privileges.
This module exploits a buffer overflow and installs an agent into the target host.

Cisco HyperFlex Data Platform Installer Command Injection Vulnerability Exploit
The password input field in the "/auth/" and "/auth/change" endpoints of Cisco HyperFlex HX Installer Virtual Machine allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute systems commands as root.
An encoding bypass in the webui_wsma_https endpoint in Cisco IOS XE allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute commands and configure the system through SOAP requests via the Web Service Management Agent (WMSA). This can be abused to create unauthorized local administrator accounts (user with privilege level 15) and log in with normal user access.
Cisco Linksys PlayerPT ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the PlayerPT.ocx module included in the Cisco Linksys WVC200 Wireless-G PTZ Internet Video Camera application. The exploit is triggered when the SetSource() method processes a crafted argument resulting in a buffer overflow.
Cisco Linksys PlayerPT ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in the PlayerPT.ocx module included in the Cisco Linksys WVC200 Wireless-G PTZ Internet Video Camera application. The exploit is triggered when the SetSource() method processes a crafted argument resulting in a buffer overflow.
