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
JOnAS Remote Command Injection Exploit
This module exploits a XSS vulnerability in JOnAS which allows IMPACT Pro to perform remote command injection impersonating an administrator and uploading a plugin to the JOnAS server.
This module runs a web server waiting for a JOnAS administrator to connect to it. When the client connects, it will retrieve their JOnAS cookie and try to install an agent on the JOnAS server by installing a custom plugin in JOnAS.
Kinetica Admin getLogs Function Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
The Kinetica Admin web application did not properly sanitise the input for the function getLogs. This lack of sanitisation could be exploited to allow an authenticated attacker to run remote code on the underlying operating system.

Impact
Drupal BlogAPI Remote Code Execution Exploit
The BlogAPI module does not validate the extension of files that it is used to upload, enabling users with the "administer content with blog api" permission to upload harmful files. This module uploads an IMPACT agent, creates a php file to execute the agent and then makes a request to the file. The result is an IMPACT agent running on the webserver.
Multiple ACDSee products are prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because they fail to perform adequate boundary checks when processing a malformed TIF image.
Microsoft Word Record Parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS09-027)
Microsoft Word is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
This module exploits insecure randomness vulnerability in Typo3, which leads to XSS attacks. This module tries to guess the Typo3 encryptionKey by exploiting its insecure randomness. If guessed, it will install an XSS Agent.
AVEVA InduSoft Web Studio Remote Command Injection Exploit
Unauthenticated remote command injection vulnerability in Indusoft Web Studio 8.1 SP2. The vulnerability is exercised via the custom remote agent protocol that is typically found on port 1234 or 51234. An attacker can issue a specially crafted command 66 which causes IWS to load a DB connection file off of a network share using SMB. The DB file can contain OS commands that will be executed at the privilege level used by IWS.
Mac OS X smcFanControl Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in smcFanControl on Apple Mac OS X 10.4.x when the software is installed with setuid root. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to obtain root privileges.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the 0x2711 IOCTL in the webvrpcs process. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call.
MSRPC Microsoft Host Integration Remote Command Execution Exploit (MS08-059)
This module exploits a remote command injection in the SNA RPC service included in Microsoft Host Integration Server. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer.
The Widget Connector macro in Atlassian Confluence Server allows remote attackers to achieve path traversal and remote code execution via server-side template injection.
This update adds support to control the FTP Server port number and socket timeout.

QNAP Qcenter Virtual Appliance Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
QNAP Qcenter Virtual Appliance contains multiples vulnerabilities which allows authenticated attackers to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system with root privileges.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Numark Cue M3U Buffer Overflow Exploit
Numark Cue contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Numark Cue when handling .M3U files.
Microsoft Windows SchRpcSetSecurity Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles calls to Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC).An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the security context of the local system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the ienipp.ocx control included in Novell iPrint Client v4.32 and prior. The exploit is triggered when the ExecuteRequest() method processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site.
MSRPC Trend Micro Server Protect AddTaskExportLogItem() Exploit
TrendMicro ServerProtect 5.58 with security patch 3 installed is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the rpc interface that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code.
VLC Media Player Format String exploit linux support update
This module tries to attack VLC Media Player by sending a crafted OGG file that triggers a format string and overwrites a subroutine pointer during rendering.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Orbit Downloader Download Failed Exploit
Orbit Downloader is vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack, which can be exploited by malicious remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability is due to Orbit not properly converting an URL ASCII string to UNICODE. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by downloading a file from a specially crafted URL.
IBM Informix Open Admin Tool SOAP welcomeServer PHP Remote Code Execution Exploit
IBM Informix Open Admin Tool is vulnerable to an unauthenticated php remote code execution, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary php code in the system.
