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 Extension Manager CS5 is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of dwmapi.dll if this dll is located in the same folder than .MXI file.
Adobe Flash Professional CS5 dwmapi DLL Hijacking Exploit
Adobe Flash Professional CS5 is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of dwmapi.dll if this dll is located in the same folder than .FLA file.
Microsoft Office Word RTF Parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS10-087) Update
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office Word by sending a specially crafted .RTF file with a malformed pFragments record.
This update adds support for Office Word 2007 SP2 and Office Word 2002 SP3.
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
Mac OS X AppleScript ARDAgent Shell Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The problem is that "ARDAgent", which is owned by "root" and has the setuid bit set, can be invoked to execute shell commands via AppleScript (e.g. through "osascript"). This can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.
Foxit Reader Title Parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit
Foxit Reader is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing a user to open a malicious PDF file containing an overly long title.
By providing an overly long string to the AccessCode2 parameter, an attacker may be able to overflow the static stack buffer. The attacker may then execute code on the target device remotely.
The specific flaw exists within the DVC.DvcCtrl ActiveX Control in dvs.ocx. The control does not check the length of an attacker-supplied string in the GetColor method before copying it into a fixed length buffer on the stack. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser process.
HP AutoPass License Server Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in HP AutoPass License Server. The CommunicationServlet component in HP AutoPass License Server does not enforce authentication and has a directory traversal vulnerability allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code trough a JSP page uploaded to the vulnerable server.
A remote file inclusion vulnerability is present in Mambo. /includes/Cache/Lite/Output.php doesn't sanitize the $mosConfig_absolute_path before using it in an include.
An identified vulnerability in ScreenConnect allows attackers to bypass string comparison in the request path and access the setup wizard ("/SetupWizard.aspx") on configured instances. Exploiting this vulnerability enables an attacker to create an administrative user and upload a malicious ScreenConnect extension, potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE) on the server.
Microsoft Outlook Moniker Link UNC Path Information Disclosure Exploit Update
This exploit leverages an information disclosure vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook. By using a crafted path, unauthorized access can be obtained, allowing for the theft of NTLM hashes.
This update add suport for unautheticated SMTP servers.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the Microsoft Windows Plug and Play service and installs a level0 agent (MS05-039).

TUGZip ZIP File Buffer Overflow Exploit
TUGZip is vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow due to improper parsing of the filename parameter within zip file if an overly long filename is provided.
VLC is able to handle the subtitles automatically in a very simple way, it just checks the presence of ssa files with the same name of the loaded video and a possible subtitles folder. The functions which handle the MicroDvd, SSA and Vplayer subtitle formats are vulnerable to some stack based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities which can allow an attacker to execute malicious code.
