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.

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the WireShark LWRES dissector by sending a specially crafted LWRES packet. This update adds support for more WireShark versions.
The DRDA protocol dissector in Wireshark can enter an infinite loop when processing an specially crafted DRDA packet with the iLength field set to 0, causing Wireshark to stop responding.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the FileView ActiveX control installed by WinZip v10.0 series prior to build 7245, and will install a Level0 agent.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in WinRAR 3.60 beta6 and prior to install a level0 agent. This update adds support to register the exploit into the IMPACT webserver.
The file names showed in WinRAR when opening a ZIP file come from the central directory, but the file names used to extract and open contents come from the Local File Header. This allows to spoof file names when opening ZIP files and can be abused to execute arbitrary code.
A critical vulnerability, identified and cataloged as CVE-2023-38831, has been discovered. This vulnerability allows attackers to create modified RAR or ZIP archives that contain both harmless files and malicious ones. The malicious files are typically scripts located within a folder that shares the same name as the harmless file.
Path traversal vulnerability in WinRAR when crafting the filename field of the ACE format (in UNACEV2.dll). When the filename field is manipulated with specific patterns, the destination (extraction) folder is ignored, thus treating the filename as an absolute path.
WinPcap NPF.SYS IOCTL Handler Privilege Escalation Exploit Windows 2003 Support
This module exploits a vulnerability in WinPcap. The IOCTL 9031 (BIOCGSTATS) handler in the NPF.SYS device driver in WinPcap before 4.0.1 allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters. This update adds support for Windows 2003.
This module exploits a vulnerability in WinPcap. The IOCTL 9031 (BIOCGSTATS) handler in the NPF.SYS device driver in WinPcap before 4.0.1 allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters.
WinHex is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named hash.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder as a .WHX file.

WinGate Proxy Server Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of POST requests. This may allow execution of arbitrary code by sending an overly long, specially crafted POST request to the proxy server
Windows Win32k xxxClientAllocWindowClassExtraBytes Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
This vulnerability is caused by xxxClientAllocWindowClassExtraBytes callback in win32kfull!xxxCreateWindowEx. The callback causes the setting of a kernel struct member and its corresponding flag to be out of sync.
This Update adds support for Windows 10 2004 and 20H2
