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.

NTFS Set Short Name Checker
This module allow to set a short name 8.3 of a file when you don't have write privileges to the directory where the file is located.The vulnerability exists due to NtfsSetShortNameInfo does not properly impose security restrictions in NTFS Set Short Name, which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation.
TFTP Server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before storing it in a finite-sized buffer.
Microsoft Windows Object Packager Insecure Executable Loading Exploit (MS12-002)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Windows registers and uses the Windows Object Packager that may allow the execution of any executable file named packager.exe, if this executable is located in the same folder than a .PPSX file.
Microsoft Office Assembly Execution Exploit (MS12-005)
Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in the Windows Packager configuration allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ClickOnce application in a Microsoft Office document.
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."
An OGNL injection vulnerability present in ActionChainResult class of xwork jar file would allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a Confluence Server or Data Center instance.
A server side request forgery present in getKeyInfoData function of oracle.security.xmlsec.keys.RetrievalMethod and a deserialization vulnerability present in the ADF Faces framework allows a unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to execute system commands.
Microsoft Windows NTLM Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit (LocalPotato)
This module exploits a design flaw in Microsoft Windows. The NTLM reflection attack in local authentication allows a local attacker to write arbitrary files and get SYSTEM privileges.
This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in Buffalo router

Telesquare SDT-CW3B1 1.1.0 Router OS Command Injection
Telesquare SDT-CW3B1 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by a command injection vulnerability. By sending a specially-crafted request using the sysCommand parameter, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the system.
A command injection vulnerability in the web interface of the Zyxel NWA-1100-NH firmware could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on the device.
FLIR Systems FLIR Brickstream 3D+ Unauthenticated Config Download File Disclosure
FLIR Systems FLIR Brickstream 3D+ Unauthenticated Config Download File Disclosure, Security Bypass, Exposure of System Information, Exposure of Sensitive Information
A broken access control vulnerability in Atlassian Confluence allows unauthenticated remote attackers to create unauthorized Confluence administrator accounts and access Confluence instances. This allows to execute system commands by installing a malicious Servlet plugin JAR file.
AMD Radeon Graphics Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
An improper privilege management in the AMD Radeon Graphics driver may allow an authenticated attacker to craft an IOCTL request to gain I/O control over arbitrary hardware ports or physical addresses resulting in a potential arbitrary code execution.
SAP AG SAPgui EAI WebViewer3D Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack overflow in Siemens Unigraphics Solutions Teamcenter Visualization EAI WebViewer3D ActiveX control that is bundled with SAPgui. When parsing an overly long string the SaveViewToSessionFile() method, arbitrary code may be executed.
Belkin BullDog Plus UPS-Service Buffer Overflow Exploit
The UPS management software contains a built-in web server which allows for remote management of the UPS. The management interface is protected by a username and password and the authentication is performed via Basic authentication. There is a small stack-based overflow in the base64 decoding routine which handles the Basic authentication data.
This module exploits an authentication vulnerability in OpenSite 2.1. The function init in origin/libs/user.php checks for a matching origin_hash cookie. However, this cookie can be bruteforced in at most 2^32 tries for a known username. Actually, the number of attempts could be significantly reduced knowing that we do not have to check for time in the future, and long past. This works for OpenSite 2.1 and below.
