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.

Microsoft Excel Hlink Overflow Exploit Update
This update adds support for Microsoft Excel 2000 SP3 and Microsoft Excel 2003 SP3.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the Microsoft Excel file via a hyperlink bigger than 8000 bytes of length.
Microsoft Office PowerPoint Memory Corruption Exploit (MS09-017) Update
This module exploits a stack overflow on "pp7x32.dll" when it parses an inconsistent record length in sound data in a file that uses a PowerPoint 95 (PPT95) native file format.
This update adds support to Microsoft Office XP, support to Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows Vista.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Apache Tomcat JK Web Server Connector and installs an agent. An attacker can use an overly long URL to trigger a buffer overflow in the URL work map routine (map_uri_to_worker()) in the mod_jk.so library, resulting in the compromise of the target system.
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
Advantech WebAccess webvrpcs Service BwWebSvc ProjectName sprintf Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the 0x13C83 IOCTL in the BwOpcTool subsystem. A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in a call to memcpy using the ProjectName parameter. An attacker can use this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of an administrator of the system.
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.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Image22 ActiveX Control. The exploit is triggered when the DrawIcon() method processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
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.
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in HP Data Protector, by sending a specially crafted packet to the port 3817/TCP, which will trigger a buffer overflow when processed by the DtbClsLogin function in the dpwindtb.dll module.
Foxit Reader Compact Font Format Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability has been identified in Foxit Reader, which could be exploited by attackers to potentially compromise a vulnerable system. This issue is caused by a memory corruption error when processing Compact Font Format (CFF) data within a PDF document, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted PDF document.
This is the same vulnerability that is currently being exploited to jailbreak the iPhone 4 OS.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Extras Manager ActiveX Control included in Skype. This bug is currently being exploited in the wild.
