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.

This module exploits a path traversal vulnerability in Novell ZENworks Asset Management.
The specific flaw exists within a servlet provided within the Novell Zenworks distribution for uploading files. When processing the path name for the file, the servlet will allow a user to inject path traversal entities into the filename. Then, when the servlet downloads the provided file, the destination will store it to the user-provided location.
This module exploits a stack overflow vulnerability in proftpd in order to install an agent. The vulnerability is within the function pr_netio_telnet_gets(). The issue is triggered when processing specially crafted Telnet IAC packets delivered to the FTP server.
IBM Lotus Domino iCalendar Attachment Name Buffer Overflow Exploit
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the nRouter.exe component of IBM Lotus Domino when parsing the filename of an attachment within an iCalendar invitation. This can be exploited by a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted e-mail to the Lotus Domino SMTP server.
This module bypasses Data Execution Prevention (DEP) in order to install an agent on the target machine.
Input passed via the "page" parameter to index.php is not properly sanitised in the "Router()" function in core/lib/router.php before being used in an "eval()" call. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code.
Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Protocol DoS (MS12-020)
This module triggers a memory corruption vulnerability in the Remote Desktop Service by sending a malformed packet to the 3389/TCP port.
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.
SugarCRM CE unserialize PHP Code Execution Exploit
The vulnerability is caused by scripts using "unserialize()" with user controlled input. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code via the "__destruct()" method of the "SugarTheme" class or passing an ad-hoc serialized object through the $_REQUEST['current_query_by_page'] input variable.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Mini HTTPD when processing HTTP GET Request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command. Arbitrary code can be directly executed by overwriting a return address.
This module exploits an argument injection vulnerability in PHP up to version 5.3.12 and 5.4.2 when running as a standalone CGI processor and takes advantage of the -d flag to achieve remote code execution.
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.

Wordpress W3 Total Cache PHP Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in W3 Total Cache plugin for Wordpress. Certain macros such as mfunc allow to inject PHP code into comments. By injecting a crafted comment into a valid post an attacker can execute arbitrary PHP code on systems running vulnerable installations of W3 Total Cache.
This module abuses a vulnerability in phpMyAdmin 3.5.x before 3.5.8 and 4.x before 4.0.0-rc3 that allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a /e\x00 sequence, which is not properly handled before making a preg_replace function call within the "Replace table prefix" feature.
Schneider Electric Accutech Manager Heap Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a heap overflow vulnerability in the Schneider Electric Accutech Manager Server by sending a malformed packet to the 2537/TCP port to execute arbitrary code or crash the server.
This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in AGG Software Web Server
Windows
Exploits / Remote
SCADA
Panda Security for Business Pagent MESSAGE_FROM_REMOTE Path Traversal Exploit
The Pagent service component of Panda Security for Business is prone to a path traversal vulnerability when handling MESSAGE_FROM_REMOTE packets.
This vulnerability can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to drop arbitrary files in the vulnerable machine in order to gain remote code execution with SYSTEM privileges.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in Mailenable smtp for Windows, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via AUTH command input.
Microsoft ASP.NET Hash Table Collisions DoS (MS11-100)
This module sends HTTP requests with specially crafted data making the ASP.NET subsystem consume lot of resources. This attack prevents the victim server from processing requests from legitimate clients and probably will make the server non-operational.
