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.

Oracle WebLogic Server 14.1.1.0.0 Local File Inclusion
Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle WebLogic Server accessible data.
Supported versions that are affected are 12.1.3.0.0, 12.2.1.3.0, 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0.
This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of D-Link DAP-2020 v1.01rc001 Wi-Fi access points. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the processing of CGI scripts. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-11369.
Oracle WebLogic Server WLS Core Components T3 Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a deserialization vulnerability in Oracle WebLogic Server that allows for remote code execution. An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the Oracle WebLogic Server T3 interface can send a serialized object to execute code on vulnerable hosts.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Client Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the TSM Remote Client Agent (dsmagent) by sending a specially crafted sequence of packets to the affected application.
Upgrades Impact to v2013 Release 1.4; more information can be found at http://blog.coresecurity.com/2013/08/14/announcing-core-impact-v2013-r1-4/
Exploits / Remote
Impact Professional
Agent Injector improvements
Previously, the APC mechanism used to inject the agent in another process was done using an exe file written into the filesystem. This file could potentialy be detected with an AV. For this reason, its execution was changed to be from memory (using Impact's Dynamic Forking mechanism).

MS SMB 2.0 Negociate Protocol Request Remote Exploit Update 2
This update uses two different methods to exploit the targets, and it also improves the exploited target stability when repairing the SMB service.
This module exploits a vulnerability on srv2.sys via a SMB 2 malformed packet.
NetBackup Java user-interface is affected by a remote format string vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious request that contains format specifiers. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent. This update adds support for Linux.
The server driver (srv.sys) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, Server 2003 SP1 and earlier, and XP SP2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted packet on an SMB PIPE that triggers a null dereference.
While investigating the Microsoft Server Service Mailslot heap overflow vulnerability reported in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-035 we discovered a second bug in the server service. This module exploits this vulnerability.
Oracle Application Testing Suite UploadServlet Servlet Remote Code Execution Exploit
A vulnerability exists in the UploadServlet servlet. By providing a filename header containing a directory traversal, an attacker can upload a file to an arbitrary location on the system.
This module abuses the auto deploy feature in the server in order to achieve remote code execution.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack Remote Exploit
This module exploits a remote memory corruption on IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack by sending a specially crafted sequence of packets to the affected application.
IBM Lotus Domino iCalendar Organizer Buffer Overflow Exploit
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the nRouter.exe component of IBM Lotus Domino when parsing the ORGANIZER field of 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.
nginx Encoded Directory Trasversal Denial of Service Exploit
nginx 0.8.36 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain encoded directory traversal sequences that trigger memory corruption, as demonstrated using the "%c0.%c0." sequence.
HP Storage Data Protector MSG_PROTOCOL Buffer Overflow Exploit
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.
This module allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing the Mercury Mail Transport System.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Mercury/32 PH Server Module (mercuryh.dll). This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly bounds check user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed size memory buffer. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command.
