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
Sunway Force Control SCADA httpsvr Exploit
A buffer-overflow vulnerability affects the httpsvr.exe webserver included in the device. This issue occurs when handling an excessively large URI.
A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the DECT dissector of Wireshark.
A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause the Wireshark executable to crash or potentially to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Wireshark.
Microsoft Windows Group Policy Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit (MS15-011)
This module exploits, via a "Man In The Middle" attack, a security flaw in the Domain Controller policies downloaded by clients during the logging process
Adobe Flash Player Drawing Fill Shader Memory Corruption Exploit
This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. The specific flaw exists when a Shader is applied as a drawing fill allowing an attacker to take control of a vulnerable machine and execute arbitrary code.
This vulnerability was found exploited in the wild on June 2015.
Microsoft Windows HTTP.sys Range Integer Overflow Memory Disclosure Exploit (MS15-034)
The code that handles the 'Range' HTTP header in the HTTP.sys driver in Microsoft Windows, which is used by Internet Information Services (IIS), is prone to an integer overflow vulnerability when processing a specially crafted HTTP request with a very long upper range.
This integer overflow vulnerability can be leveraged to generate a memory disclosure condition, in which the HTTP.sys driver will return more data than it should from kernel memory, thus allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information from the affected server.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler server. Citrix NetScaler is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability when handling certain SOAP requests.
The specific flaw exists within the 'factory' object's loadExtensionFactory method. The issue lies in a failure to validate the size of an attacker-supplied input before copying it into a fixed-size buffer on the stack. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
Adobe Flash Player ShaderJob Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player.
The specific flaw exists when the "width" attribute of a ShaderJob is modified after starting the job allowing to an attacker to control the size of a destination buffer and the lenght of the copy operation.
Microsoft Excel XLB File Processing Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS11-021)
The vulnerability exists within the application's parsing of a particular record within a Microsoft Excel Compound Document. When specifying a particular value, the application will fail to initialize a variable that is used as the length of a memcpy operation.
HP LoadRunner Controller Scenario File Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the handling of scenario files (.lrs). By manipulating a scenario file's values, an attacker can cause a fixed-length stack buffer to overflow.
Solarwinds FSM is vulnerable to an authentication bypass in userlogin.jsp that allows attacker to upload an agent via a weekness in the username atribute in settings-new.jsp allowing us to install an agent.
HP Storage Data Protector MSG_PROTOCOL Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the OmniInet.exe service included in the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector application by sending a malformed MSG_PROTOCOL packet.
ManageEngine OpManager is vulnerable to abuse a SQL query functionality that allows attackers to insert and export a crafted WAR using 'IntegrationUser' hidden account credentials allowing us to install an agent.
A vulnerability in ElasticSearch versions 1.4.0 to 1.4.2 allows execution of unsandboxed Groovy code. This module installs an OS agent in vulnerable targets.
Microsoft Windows Print Spooler Service Impersonation Exploit (MS10-061)
This module exploits a vulnerability in the "Print Spooler" service.
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.
Linux abrt sosreport Symlink Privilege Escalation Exploit
The sosreport program, a component of the ABRT bug reporting system used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, does not handle symbolic links correctly when writing core dumps of ABRT programs to the ABRT dump directory (/var/tmp/abrt). This can be leveraged by local unprivileged attackers to gain root privileges on vulnerable systems.
Borland Silk Central TeeChart ActiveX Control AddSeries Untrusted Pointer Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the Borland Silk Central TeeChart ActiveX control. The control suffers from an untrusted pointer dereference vulnerability because it blindly calls an attacker-supplied memory address. An attacker can exploit this condition to achieve code execution under the context of the browser process.
Yokogawa Centum CS 3000 BKBCopyD Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow in Yokogawa CENTUM CS 3000 by using its BKBCopyD.exe service.
The Yokogawa Centum CS3000 solution uses different services in order to provide all its functionality. The BKBCopyD.exe service, started when running the FCS / Test Function, listens by default on TCP/20111. By sending a specially crafted packet to the port TCP/20111 it is possible to trigger a stack based buffer overflow which allows execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the CENTUM user.
Microsoft Internet Explorer CMarkup Object Use-After-Free Exploit(MS14-021)
Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via vectors related to the CMarkup::IsConnectedToPrimaryMarkup function, as exploited in the wild in April 2014.
