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.

Product Name
WebHMI_DOS
WebHMI 4.0.7348 suffers from Denial of Service. An attacker with administrator rights can run a disk speed test. While the test is in progress, the server is sleep and unavailable. One test puts the server to sleep for about 45 seconds. An attacker can send several requests at once, thereby putting the server to sleep for a long time.
Cisco WebEx extension for Chrome includes an OS command injection vulnerability. This module serves a specially crafted web page using HTTPS. If a vulnerable version of the extension is installed and the web browser connects to Impact's web server, this module will deploys an OS agent.
Web Application Authentication Testing Improvement
Improvement on Web Application Authentication Testing parameters to use a higher number of values between the authentication probes.

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.
W3C Amaya Web Browser INPUT Tag Buffer Overflow Exploit
Multiple stack buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been discovered in Amaya, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a users system. This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (W3C Amaya Web Browser) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by exploiting this vulnerability. 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.
VX Search Enterprise is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling a crafted request, this can trigger an overflow in a finite-sized internal memory buffer, and install an agent with SYSTEM privileges.
VUPlayer contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in VUPlayer when handling .M3U files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .M3U file.

Vulnerabilities tab in Quick Information view Update
This update resolves an issue with displaying certain vulnerabilities in the Quick Information view.
A Buffer Overflow exist in Vortex Light Alloy when parsing .M3U files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Vortex Light Alloy when handling .M3U files beginning with "http://", when the application tries to obtain a stream from an url. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .M3U file.
VMware Workstation VMX Process COM Class Hijack Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
VMware Workstation (15.x before 15.0.3, 14.x before 14.1.6) running on Windows does not handle COM classes appropriately. Successful exploitation of this issue may allow hijacking of COM classes used by the VMX process, on a Windows host, leading to elevation of privilege.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the VMware Printer virtual device from the guest OS and install an agent in the host computer. This update adds support to more VMware versions and improves the agent connection reliability from the host computer.
