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 Internet Explorer CInput Object Use-After-Free Exploit(MS14-035)
A use after free vulnerability exists in Internet Explorer. The vulnerability is due to accessing a freed CInput object in memory.
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing the target user to open a malicious web page. In the case of successful exploitation, arbitrary attacker code would be executed in the security context of the target user.
This update includes a module exploiting a vulnerability found in Bash. When using PureFTPd in conjuntion with the vulnerable Bash version for user authentication, a Core Impact agent is installed.
A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Forum module in Drupal 6.x (proir to version 6.13) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts or HTML by requesting a specially crafted tid.
The vulnerability is present only if the Forum module is activated, this is not the default configuration but the module is shipped by default with Drupal.
Apple Mac OS X HFS Plus Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
XNU 1228.9.59 and earlier on Apple Mac OS X 10.5.6 and earlier does not properly restrict interaction between user space and the HFS IOCTL handler. This allows local users to overwrite kernel memory and gain privileges by attaching an HFS+ disk image and performing certain steps involving HFS_GET_BOOT_INFO fcntl calls.
VirtualMin Dom Parameter Cross Site Scripting Exploit
Input passed to the "dom" parameter in left.cgi and via the URL to virtual-server/link.cgi is not properly sanitized before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
Symantec Intel Alert Originator Service Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Intel Alert Originator service by sending a specially crafted packet to the 38292/TCP port.
Opera file URI Handling Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
Opera is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer.
IBM Lotus Domino NSFComputeEvaluateExt Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in IBM Lotus Domino by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the Web Administration Interface.
HP OpenView NNM nnmRptConfig CGI Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the nnmRptConfig.exe CGI application, a component of HP OpenView Network Node Manager, by sending a specially crafted packet.
Sony Sound Forge Pro MtxParhVegasPreview DLL Hijacking Exploit
Sony Sound Forge Pro is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named MtxParhVegasPreview.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder as a .SFW file.
The attacker must entice a victim into opening a specially crafted .SFW file. This file and the associated binary may be delivered to a user through remote WebDAV shares. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the streamprocess.exe service included in the Citrix Provisioning Services application by sending a malformed packet to the 6905/UDP port.
Adobe Flash Player SWF File Memory Corruption Exploit
Adobe Flash Player is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted .SWF file, which can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable machines by convincing an unsuspecting user to visit a malicious web site.
This vulnerability has been found exploited in-the-wild during April 2011.
A code execution vulnerability exists in the way that VLC handles specially crafted .NSV (Nullsoft streaming video file) files when opening in Internet Explorer 6 or 7.
CA ARCserve D2D installs the Apache Axis2 Web services engine with the default password for the administrator account, which can be abused by a remote attacker to upload an .AAR web service and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on the machine where the vulnerable software is installed.
Microsoft Office Excel RTD Data Record Processing Stack Overwrite Exploit (MS11-021) Update 2
The flaw exists within the methods used for RealTimeData Record Parsing. When handling a stTopic field that has a bit set specifying double byte characters in the following field the value of a global pointer is improperly calculated.
This version adds Windows 7 support and updates the CVE number.
IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express for Software ActiveX Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the way the ActiveX Control parses data supplied to the RunAndUploadFile function. The ActiveX control is used to create an Asset Information file for the local system to be uploaded to the IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express Server.
Novell File Reporter NFRAgent PATH Tag Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability exists within NFRAgent.exe listening on TCP port 3037. When parsing tags inside the PATH element, the process performs insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data prior to copying it on the stack.
HP OpenView Performance Agent coda.exe Opcode 0x8C Buffer Overflow Exploit
A buffer overflow exists in coda.exe process which listens on a random TCP port by default. The process trusts a value within a GET request as a size then proceeds to copy that many bytes of user-supplied data into a fixed-length buffer on the stack.
HP LoadRunner micWebAjax ActiveX Control NotifyEvent Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the micWebAjax.dll ActiveX control. The control exposes the NotifyEvent method. The method performs insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data which results in stack corruption.
