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.

Exploit Type
Product Name
MSRPC UMPNPMGR exploit update
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the Microsoft Windows Plug and Play service and installs a level0 agent (MS05-039). This update adds support for Windows XP Professional (Services packs 0, 1 and 2) and Support for Windows 2003.
A backdoor introduced in the source code of MyBB allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on systems running vulnerable installations of MyBB.
This update adds support for the Solaris platform.
Microsoft Windows GDI Plus WMF Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS08-052) update
When the method WmfEnumState::DibCreatePatternBrush in the GDI Plus library processes a WMF file with a malformed CreatePatternBrush record, this produces a stack overflow.
This update adds support for Microsoft Windows XP SP0 Home/Professional and Microsoft Windows 2003 SP0 Standard/Enterprise Edition.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Mini-Stream Ripper when handling M3U files with overly long lines. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted M3U file.
Microsoft Unicode Script Processor Array Indexing Error Exploit (MS10-063)
The Unicode Script Processor (Uniscribe) implementation in USP10.DLL does not properly validate tables associated with malformed OpenType fonts, producing an array index error.
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.
This update adds a wrapper to any agent that is created to be directly deployed and run on target systems. This wrapper helps evade detection of the agent by Anti Virus programs.
Exploits / Tools
Impact Professional
ScadaTEC ScadaPhone ZIP Buffer Overflow Exploit
ScadaTEC ScadaPhone has a buffer overflow when handling a project file bundled in a zip.
This Update modifies the way log is shown while running Flash XSS Analizer module, to clearly reflect the target with its result
Exploits
Impact Professional
Adobe Flash Player FLV Parsing Memory Corruption Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player when parsing malformed FLV objects. Attackers exploiting the vulnerability can corrupt memory and gain remote code execution.
This vulnerability has been found exploited in the wild in June 2015 in the Operation Clandestine Wolf campaign.
Adobe Flash Player AS3 ConvolutionFilter Use-After-Free Exploit
This module exploits a Use-After-Free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. The specific flaw exists within the processing of AS3 ConvolutionFilter objects. By manipulating the matrix property of a ConvolutionFilter object, an attacker can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
This vulnerability was one of the 2015's Pwn2Own challenges.
Linux Overlayfs Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Linux. The overlayfs filesystem does not correctly check file permissions when creating new files in the upper filesystem directory. This can be exploited by an unprivileged process in kernels with CONFIG_USER_NS=y and where overlayfs has the FS_USERNS_MOUNT flag, which allows the mounting of overlayfs inside unprivileged mount namespaces.
Microsoft Windows Win32k ClientCopyImage Privilege Escalation Exploit(MS15-051)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Win32k.sys kernel-mode driver improperly handles objects in memory. The vulnerability exists in the Windows OS process of creating windows for applications. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode.
Microsoft Office Publisher pubconv DLL Buffer Overflow Exploit
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Publisher parses Publisher files. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by creating a specially crafted Publisher file (.PUB).
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.
The Rhino Script Engine of Oracle Java fails to properly check for permissions on JavaScript error objects. This flaw allows an unprivileged applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user.
Microsoft Windows Meeting Space DLL Hijacking Exploit (MS11-085)
Windows Meeting Space is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named wab32res.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder as a .WCINV file.
Oracle WebLogic Server is prone to a remote vulnerability due to deserialization of untrusted inputs, allowing attackers to instantiate arbitrary Java objects leading to remote code execution.
The map_yp_alias function in functions/imap_general.php in SquirrelMail before 1.4.18 and NaSMail before 1.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a username string that is used by the ypmatch program. This module works if map:map_yp_alias is set as the imap server address in config.php, which is not the default setting.
This update improves os detection and adds runtime cost.
