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
Microsoft Windows WPAD BadTunnel Exploit (MS16-077)
This module exploits a vulnerability in Windows Netbios cache by flooding crafted NBNS responses.
RESTWS alters the default page callbacks for entities to provide additional functionality. A vulnerability in this approach allows an unauthenticated attacker to send specially crafted requests resulting in arbitrary PHP execution.
Incorrect signedness comparison in the ioctl handler of the atkbd keyboard driver in the FreeBSD kernel can be leveraged by a local unprivileged user to overwrite a portion of the kernel memory, thus allowing the attacker to gain root privileges on the affected system.
This update improves the checking of preconditions before launching the attack.
WECON LeviStudio PLC HmiSet Type Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of WECON LeviStudio. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists in the handling of LeviStudio Project files. By providing an overly long HmiSet Type XML attribute, an attacker can overflow a stack-based buffer and execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
Microsoft Internet Explorer VBScript AccessArray Redefinition Exploit
The AccessArray function in the VBScript engine of Internet Explorer is prone to a redefinition attack.
By accessing a VBScript array using a specially crafted object as the index, it is possible to resize the array in the middle of the AccessArray function, leaving the array in an inconsistent state, which can be abused by an attacker to execute arbitrary code on systems running vulnerable versions of Internet Explorer.
The RMI service in SolarWinds Virtualization Manager 6.3.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted serialized Java object, related to the Apache Commons Collections (ACC) library.
The REST plugin in the Apache Struts 2 framework is prone to a remote code execution vulnerability when evaluating OGNL expressions when Dynamic Method Invocation is enabled.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Java code on the affected server.
This module exploits the vulnerability in any web application built on top of vulnerable versions of Apache Struts 2 making use of the REST plugin with the Dynamic Method Invocation feature enabled.

Microsoft Windows WPAD Elevation of Privilege Exploit (MS16-077)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows when the Web Proxy Auto Discovery (WPAD) protocol falls back to a vulnerable proxy discovery process. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass security and gain elevated privileges on a targeted system.
This module will listen for HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and queue client side exploits as HTTP responses.

SCADA
Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner GUI Html Script Injection Exploit
Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner 10.0 build 20160216 and previous versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the scanner GUI.
The flaw exists in the way Acunetix WVS render some html elements inside it's GUI, using jscript.dll without any concern about unsafe ActiveX object such as WScript.shell.
This module also abuses of a second vulnerability affecting the Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner Scheduler to gain SYSTEM privileges.
Incorrect signedness comparison in the ioctl handler of the atkbd keyboard driver in the FreeBSD kernel can be leveraged by a local unprivileged user to overwrite a portion of the kernel memory, thus allowing the attacker to gain root privileges on the affected system.
Trend Micro InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance testConfiguration OS Command Injection Exploit
Trend Micro InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance is prone to an OS command injection vulnerability when handling HTTP requests for the /rest/testConfiguration resource.
This vulnerability can be leveraged by a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server.
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in Joomla. The session handling code is susceptible to PHP Object Injection attacks due to lack of sanitization in some HTTP headers that are saved to the database session backend.
This update fixes an issue which made the exploit abort before running.

Microsoft Windows Shell File Association Vulnerability Exploit (MS14-027) Update
When the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\exefile" registry key is modified by this exploit and a Windows or third party service calls to the "ShellExecute" function, an invalid association file is produced, finalizing the attack with the execution of a crafted program instead of the original program.
This update fixes a regression introduced in version 2016_R1.

Novell ServiceDesk Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in Novell ServiceDesk. The specific flaw is located in the import functionality provided to a user. Authenticated users can upload and execute arbitrary JSP files via a .. (dot dot) in a filename within a multipart/form-data POST request to a LiveTime.woa URL.
Solarwinds DameWare Mini Remote Control Server Privilege Escalation Exploit
A certain message parsing function inside the Dameware Mini Remote Control service does not properly validate the input size of an incoming string before passing it to wsprintfw().
This module exploits an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Advantech WebAccess. The specific flaw exists within the WebAccess Dashboard Viewer. Insufficient validation within the FileUpload script allows unauthenticated callers to upload arbitrary code to directories in the server where the code can be automatically executed under the high-privilege context of the IIS AppPool.
Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
Magento eCommerce Web Sites Deserialization Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module uses an unauthenticated deserialization vulnerability in Magento eCommerce Web Sites to perform an arbitrary write file to gain arbitrary PHP code execution on the affected system.
