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.

Micorosft Internet Explorer SetMouseCapture Use-After-Free Exploit Update
This module exploits a use after free in Internet Explorer by using a SetMouseCapture vulnerability in MSHTML. This update fix an encryptAgent problem.
The specific flaw exists within LDAP handling functionality which listens by default on TCP port 389. The vulnerable code blindly copies attacker supplied data from a specially formatted LDAP ModifyRequest packet to a fixed length stack buffer.
Microsoft Windows OpenType Font Driver Vulnerability Exploit (MS15-078)
This module exploits a vulnerability in "atmfd.dll" Windows driver by loading a crafted OTF font. 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.
Borland AccuRev Reprise License Server edit_lf_process Write Arbitrary Files Exploit
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.
The specific flaw exists within the activate_doit function of the service. The issue lies in the handling of the actserver parameter which can result in overflowing a stack-based buffer.
Spring Boot Default Error Page Expression Language Injection Exploit
Spring Boot Framework 1.2.7 provides a default error page (also known as "Whitelabel Error Page"), that's prone to Spring Expression Language injection when the type of a parameter expected is not expected to be a string but a string is provided. Applications based on Spring Boot that don't deactivate the feature, or customize it in such a way as to stop the injection, are thus susceptible to execution of some Java statements and, in particular, to OS command injections.
Microsoft Windows CreateWindow Function Callback Exploit (MS10-032) Update
This update improves the exploit reliability and adds support to Windows XP SP2. This module exploits a vulnerability in win32k.sys when a "window" is created.
Exploits an off-by-one bug in channel management code in OpenSSH. This update excludes the module from automated attacks launched by the "Network Attack and Penetration" feature, since the module requires credentials of a known account on the vulnerable system, and hence won't work with default parameters.
This exploit simulates a RealVNC client and establishes a connection with a Real VNC server without using a password. After that, it opens a console, writes the exploit and executes it in ntsd.exe
This module exploits a vulnerability on Kodak Image Viewer, formerly known as Wang Image Viewer, handles specially crafted images files. 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.
Easy File Sharing is prone to a buffer-overflow when handling a specially crafted GET request.

Impact
Microsoft Internet Explorer VBScript Filter Type Confusion Exploit (MS15-106)
The Filter function of the VBScript engine in Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a type confusion vulnerability when processing specially crafted parameters. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable machines by enticing unsuspecting users to visit a specially crafted website.
HP SiteScope issueSiebelCmd Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in HP SiteScope. The vulnerability exists in the APISiteScopeImpl web service, specifically in the issueSiebelCmd method, which allows the user to execute arbitrary commands without authentication.
An input sanitization flaw was found in the way JBoss Seam processes certain parameterized JBoss Expression Language (EL) expressions. A remote unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code via GET requests, containing specially-crafted expression language parameters, provided to web applications based on the JBoss Seam framework. This module exploits the vulnerability in any web application based on vulnerable versions of the Seam 2 framework.
The ParametersInterceptor class of XWork framework, part of the Struts 2 web framework, as shipped with Atlassian FishEye, does not properly restrict access to server-side objects. This can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to modify server-side objects and e.g. execute arbitrary commands via specially crafted OGNL (Object-Graph Navigation Language) expressions.
Pointdev IDEAL Migration is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the applications fail to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data, when handling .IPJ files.

Linux Kernel Ext4 Move Extents IOCTL Privilege Escalation Exploit
Linux kernel is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability because the software fails to verify access permissions. A local user can invoke the Ext4 'move extents' ioctl call, with certain options to execute arbitrary code and gain privileged access. Successful exploits will result in the complete compromise of affected computers.
Chuggnutt HTML to Text Converter Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a Chuggnutt HTML to Text Converter preg_replace using eval switch in multiple web applications in order to install an agent. Currently, this module supports AtMail Open and RoundCube Webmail.
