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.

Linux Kernel UFO Memory Corruption Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in the Linux kernel. When building a UFO packet with MSG_MORE __ip_append_data() calls ip_ufo_append_data() to append. However in between two send() calls, the append path can be switched from UFO to non-UFO one, which leads to a memory corruption that can be used by an attacker to escalate privileges.
Tenda routers G3 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by a command injection vulnerability in function formSetNetCheckTools. By sending a specially-crafted request using the hostName parameter, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the system.
ICL ScadaFlex II SCADA Controllers SC-1/SC-2 Remote File Delete
You can delete any file on the device that is not authenticated. On ICL ScadaFlex II SCADA Controller SC-1 and SC-2 1.03.07 devices, unauthenticated remote attackers can overwrite, delete, or create files.
This module exploits two vulnerabilities in Trend Micro Threat Discovery Appliance.
The first is an authentication bypass vulnerability via a file delete in logoff.cgi which resets the admin password back to 'admin' upon a reboot. This is useful if the password for the admin user is unknown.
The second is an authenticated command injection flaw using the timezone parameter in the admin_sys_time.cgi interface.
An AJP request smuggling present in F5 BIG-IP Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to create an administrative user and execute OS systems commands in the context of the root user.
An unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability allowed attackers to transfer a serialized Java object to the Jenkins CLI, making Jenkins connect to an attacker-controlled LDAP server, which in turn can send a serialized payload leading to code execution, bypassing existing protection mechanisms.
Linux Kernel AF_PACKET Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a race condition vulnerability in the Linux Kernel via AF_PACKET sockets.
WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.
Wordpress Ultimate Member Plugin Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution Exploit Update
The vulnerability allows to an unauthenticated attacker to register as an administrator and take full control of the website. The problem occurs with the plugin registration form. In this form it's possible to change certain values for the account to be registered. This includes the "wp_capabilities" value, which determines the user's role on the website. This update adds a print in the module output window.
phpMyAdmin is prone to a regexp abuse via an eval modifier which can be found in old PHP versions. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to run arbitrary php code on the affected server.
PHP versions 4.3.0-5.4.6 had a "feature" which allowed users to run a RegExp Pattern Modifier using PREG_REPLACE_EVAL and may lead to execute code.
phpMyAdmin had an issue in their code that can be exploited from a table replace call.

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.
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.
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.

Ghostcat Local File Inclusion Exploit
When using the Apache JServ Protocol (AJP), care must be taken when trusting incoming connections to Apache Tomcat. Tomcat treats AJP connections as having higher trust than, for example, a similar HTTP connection. If such connections are available to an attacker, they can be exploited in ways that may be surprising. In Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.30, 8.5.0 to 8.5.50 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.99, Tomcat shipped with an AJP Connector enabled by default that listened on all configured IP addresses.
