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.
Multiple stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been identified in which the application does not verify string size before copying to memory, the attacker may then be able to crash the application or run arbitrary code.
CyberGhost CG6Service Service SetPeLauncherState Vulnerability Local Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
The CG6Service Service in CyberGhost has the SetPeLauncherState method which allows a user to launch a debugger automatically for a determined process.
This can be abused by an attacker to gain SYSTEM privileges by attaching to a SYSTEM process.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of DVP files. The process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Jungo WinDriver. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of IOCTL 0x953824a7 by the windrvr12xx kernel driver. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied data which can result in an out-of-bounds write condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of kernel.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the XferWan.exe component included with Symantec Discovery 6.5. The exploit sends a specially crafted TCP packet triggering a buffer overflow and installing an agent on the target system.
RSH Daemon for Windows Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Windows RSH application (rshd.exe). The module sends a specially crafted packet to port 514/tcp and installs an agent if successful.
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified, where an attacker with a specially crafted packet could overflow the fixed length buffer. This could allow remote code execution.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS16-135) Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in win32k.sys. By forcing an invalid combination of window style and window menu a local attacker can trigger a kernel arbitrary write and elevate privileges.
PowerFolder Server is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of a deserialization vulnerability present in the commons-collections Java library.
Apple QuickTime Java toQTPointer() code execution exploit
This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in the Java QuickTime for Java (QtJava.dll) browser plug-in. The module runs a malicious web server on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user(s) to connect to it with a Java-enabled browser using the vulnerable plug-in. When a user connects to the site they trigger the exploit and the module attempts to install an agent on their computer.
Microsoft Windows MRXDAV.SYS WebDav Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS16-016)
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows MRXDAV.SYS driver. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges in a vulnerable target.
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.
The specific flaw exists within the edit_lf_process resource of the AccuRev Reprise License Manager service. The issue lies in the ability to write arbitrary files with controlled data. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of SYSTEM.
This update introduces more accurate information about vulnerable targets.
Apple QuickTime QTVR QTVRStringAtom Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability exists within the QuickTimeVR.qtx component when processing a QTVRStringAtom having an overly large "stringLength" parameter. This can be exploited to cause a based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code under the context of the user running the application.
AT TFTP Server Long Filename Buffer Overflow Exploit Update 2
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error during the processing of TFTP Read/Write request packet types. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet with an overly long filename field.
This update ensures that the program receives all data.
This module exploits a file upload vulnerability in the LANDesk Lenovo ThinkManagement Console. Unrestricted file upload in andesk/managementsuite/core/core.anonymous/ServerSetup.asmx in the ServerSetup web service in Lenovo ThinkManagement Console allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with an executable extension via a PutUpdateFileCore command in a RunAMTCommand SOAP request.
SAP Netweaver DiagTraceR3Info Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
The DiagTraceR3Info function of the disp+work.exe component of SAP Netweaver is prone to a remote buffer overflow when the work process trace level is set to values 2 or 3 for the Dialog Processor component. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable machine by sending a specially crafted packet containing ST_R3INFO CODEPAGE items.
