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.

QuickTime JPEG Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Apple QuickTime PictureViewer and installs an agent.
Microsoft Windows win32kbase Use After Free MisterySnail NtGdiResetDC Privileged Escalation Exploit
CVE-2021-40449 is a use-after-free vulnerability in Win32k's NtGdiResetDC function. As with many other Win32k vulnerabilities, the root cause of this vulnerability lies in the ability to set user-mode callbacks and execute unexpected API functions during execution of those callbacks. The CVE-2021-40449 is triggered when the function ResetDC is executed a second time for the same handle during execution of its own callback.

Mitsubishi Electric and INEA SmartRTU Source Code Disclosure Vulnerability
Mitsubishi Electric meets these demands with the smartRTU. It supports protocols such as DNP3 and IEC 60870. The smart- RTU combines the reliability and robustness of our standard PLC technology with a smart communication gateway, the ME-RTU gateway.
An issue was discovered on Shenzhen Coship RT3050 4.0.0.40, RT3052 4.0.0.48, RT7620 10.0.0.49, WM3300 5.0.0.54, and WM3300 5.0.0.55 devices. The password reset functionality of the router doesnt have backend validation for the current password and doesn't require any type of authentication. By making a POST request to the apply.cgi file of the router, the attacker can change the admin username and password of the router.
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install a Level0 agent by exploiting a vulnerability in the "devenum.dll" COM object when instantiated in Internet Explorer via a specially crafted HTML tag (MS05-038).
This module tries to install a Level0 agent by exploiting a vulnerability in the "javaprxy.dll" COM Object when instantiated in Internet Explorer via a specially crafted HTML tag.
Omni-NFS Enterprise FTP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This vulnerability is caused by a buffer overflow in Omni-NFS Enterprise FTP Server, due to its lack of checking of user-supplied data within FTP requests.
Omni-NFS Server NFSD Stack Buffer Overflow Exploit
A buffer overflow exist in nfsd.exe in XLink Omni-NFS Server and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted TCP packet to port 2049 (nfsd).
Linux Kernel Netfilter Dup Netdev OOB Write Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
net/netfilter/nf_dup_netdev.c in the Linux kernel 5.4 through 5.6.10 allows local users to gain privileges because of a heap out-of-bounds write. This is related to nf_tables_offload.

Linux Kernel Legacy Parse Param IU HO Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the legacy_parse_param function in the Filesystem Context functionality of the Linux kernel verified the supplied parameters length. An unprivileged (in case of unprivileged user namespaces enabled, otherwise needs namespaced CAP_SYS_ADMIN privilege) local user able to open a filesystem that does not support the Filesystem Context API (and thus fallbacks to legacy handling) could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system
Microsoft Sysmon Arbitrary File Delete Write Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Vulnerability is in code responsible for ClipboardChange event that can be reached through RPC. Local users can send data to RPC server which will then be written in Sysmon directory.
Linux Kernel Netfilter UaF NF Tables Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
In the Linux kernel through 6.3.1, a use-after-free in Netfilter nf_tables when processing batch requests can be abused to perform arbitrary read and write operations on kernel memory. Unprivileged local users can obtain root privileges. This occurs because anonymous sets are mishandled.
