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.

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.
Wacom Drivers for Windows Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the Tablet Service. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the service to create a file. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.
IBM i Distributed Data Management Remote CL Command Injection Exploit Update
An remote CL Command Injection on IBM i DDM Service allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute CL commands in the context of the QUSER user account.
This update adds support for SSL services and an extra exploit stage

Foxit PDF Reader Export XFA Data Arbitrary File Write Exploit
The method exportXFAData has inadvertently exposed a dangerous loophole that can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victim's system. The exploitation process requires the victim's interaction, meaning a potential attacker would need to convince the target to visit a malicious web page or open a corrupted file. The victim's susceptibility to social engineering thus significantly increases the risk factor of this vulnerability.

Windows Common Log File System Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit (CVE-2023-28252)
The cause of the vulnerability is due to the lack of a strict bounds check for some fields in the Base Block for the base log file (BLF) in CLFS.sys. This issue can lead to a Privilege Escalation.
A denial of service vulnerability exists in DHCPv6 service when an unauthenticated attacker connects to the target system and sends specially crafted requests.

Linux Kernel OverlayFS Logic Upper Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where unauthorized access to the execution of the setuid file with capabilities was found in the Linux kernel OverlayFS subsystem in how a user copies a capable file from a nosuid mount into another mount. This uid mapping bug allows a local user to escalate their privileges on the system.
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.
VMware Workspace ONE Access validateClaimRuleCondition Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
This module exploits an OS command injection vulnerability present in the validateClaimRuleCondition function of ClaimTransformationHelper class of VMware Workspace ONE Access.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of PaperCut MF. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the SetupCompleted class. The issue results from improper access control. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.
