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.

Adobe Flash Player SWF Load Crafted Module Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player triggered when processing a SWF file and this load a crafted dll module. 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. 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.
IBM Lotus Quickr qp2.cab ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
A buffer overflow in the ActiveX control qp2.cab in IBM Lotus Quickr for Domino allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the Attachment_Times method.
A missing boundary check in the TLS Heartbeat extension in OpenSSL can be abused by remote attackers to read up to 64 kb of memory from the server. This memory disclosure vulnerability can be used by remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive information from the affected server, including private keys and session cookies. This update adds features to the module, like the ability to read 64 kb of data from vulnerable services, reporting the results in the Module Output window, and saving the memory dumps to disk.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the Microsoft Color Management Module via a jpeg image with crafted ICC profile format tags and installs an agent.
Added support for NT and LM hashes as authentication mechanism. Added fragmentation support for /TCP and /SMB transports. Added fragmentation for DCERPC over any transport. This two different types of fragmentation can be combined or used independently.
The SSL protocol encrypts data by using CBC mode with chained initialization vectors, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain plaintext HTTP headers via a blockwise chosen-boundary attack on an HTTPS session. This module attacks the SSLv3 implementation in the Oracle Java Runtime Enviroment. The module is capable of obtaining encrypted cookies from browsers running the affected Java Runtimes.
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.

TinyIdentD Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is a buffer overflow in TinyIdentD via a long string to TCP port 113.
VisiWave Site Survey Report File Processing Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in VisiWave Site Survey Report when handling report files. This can be exploited to cause a stack based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .VWR file. This module bypass DEP using ROP techniques. This update adds CVE information.
The best practice for installations of EMC Replication Manager is to register a Replication Manager Client (irccd.exe) instance with the appropiate Replication Manager Server (ird.exe) as soon as the client software is installed on a host. Registration is performed by Replication Manager administrators from within the Replication Manager Server.

Apple Mac OS X ATSServer CFF CharStrings INDEX Sign Mismatch Exploit
A sign mismatch error exist in ATSServer when handling the last offset value of the CharStrings INDEX structure.
By providing a malicious value when handling l DeleteDeviceProfile method, an attacker may be control the execution flow on the target. The attacker may then execute code on the target device remotely.
The best practice for web applications built on top of the Apache Struts 2 framework is to switch off Developer Mode (struts.devMode parameter in the struts.xml configuration file) before going into production. When devMode is left enabled, attackers can gain remote code execution by setting the 'debug=command' URL parameter and sending OGNL expressions through the 'expression' URL parameter. This module takes advantage of this misconfiguration scenario in order to deploy an agent in the target system.
Belkin BullDog Plus UPS-Service Buffer Overflow Exploit
The UPS management software contains a built-in web server which allows for remote management of the UPS. The management interface is protected by a username and password and the authentication is performed via Basic authentication. There is a small stack-based overflow in the base64 decoding routine which handles the Basic authentication data.
