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.

Apache Tika Server OS Command Injection Exploit
An OS Command Injection Vulnerability was found in Apache Tika Server 1.11
IBM Informix Open Admin Tool SOAP welcomeServer PHP Remote Code Execution Exploit
IBM Informix Open Admin Tool is vulnerable to an unauthenticated php remote code execution, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary php code in the system.
A java deserialization vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of VMware Aria Operations for Logs in the context of the root user account.
Cisco HyperFlex Data Platform Installer Command Injection Vulnerability Exploit
The password input field in the "/auth/" and "/auth/change" endpoints of Cisco HyperFlex HX Installer Virtual Machine allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute systems commands as root.
An authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel vulnerability [CWE-288] in FortiOS, FortiProxy and FortiSwitchManager may allow an unauthenticated attacker to perform operations on the administrative interface via specially crafted HTTP or HTTPS requests.
A deserialization vulnerability present in the OpenssoEngineController component of Oracle Access Manager allows a unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to execute system commands.
Wordpress Ultimate Member Plugin Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution Exploit
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.
Wordpress Post Smtp Mailer Plugin Authorization Bypass Exploit
The POST SMTP Mailer Email log, Delivery Failure Notifications and Best Mail SMTP for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data and modification of data due to a type juggling issue on the connect-app REST endpoint. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the API key used to authenticate to the mailer and view logs, including password reset emails, allowing site takeover.
Microsoft Exchange TypedBinaryFormatter Deserialization Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit
A deserialization vulnerability present in the TypedBinaryFormatter class allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands with SYSTEM user privileges.
Wordpress Post Smtp Mailer Plugin Authorization Bypass Exploit Update
The POST SMTP Mailer Email log, Delivery Failure Notifications and Best Mail SMTP for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data and modification of data due to a type juggling issue on the connect-app REST endpoint. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the API key used to authenticate to the mailer and view logs, including password reset emails, allowing site takeover. This update adds support for LINUX and improves documentation.
This update exploits a deserialization vulnerability in SerializationTypeConverter when converting powershell remoting objects to execute OS commands as SYSTEM.
JBoss Application Server is prone to a remote vulnerability due to deserialization of untrusted inputs, allowing attackers to instantiate arbitrary java objects leading to remote code execution.
This vulnerability affects the EJBInvokerServlet component of the server.
