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.

Easy File Sharing FTP Server PASS Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error with the handling of passwords. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted passwords passed to the affected server.
D-Link Central WiFiManager FTP Server Default Credentials Remote PHP File Upload Vulnerability Exploit Update
D-Link Central WiFiManager has an FTP server listening on port 9000 by default with fixed credentials. This allows to unauthenticated users to upload and execute PHP files in the web root, leading to remote code execution.
Novell NetWare Client NWFILTER.SYS Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Novell NetWare Client when handling a specially crafted IOCTL. The vulnerability allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via a malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters.
Linux Kernel Vmsplice() Privilege Escalation Exploit
Exploits a missing verification of parameters within the vmsplice_to_user(), copy_from_user_mmap_sem(), and get_iovec_page_array() functions in fs/splice.c before using them to perform certain memory operations. This can be exploited to e.g. read or write to arbitrary kernel memory via a specially crafted vmsplice() system call, and allows an unprivileged process to elevate privileges to root.
A UNICODE Buffer Overflow exists in AllPlayer 7.5 when parsing .m3u files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .m3u files.
Microsoft NtUserMessageCall Kernel Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS08-025)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists due to the Windows kernel improperly validating input passed from user mode to the kernel. The vulnerability could allow an attacker to run code with elevated privileges.
Drupal Form API Ajax Requests Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
Drupal is prone to an OS command injection vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an improper validation of user-supplied data in the Form API Ajax Requests.

Microsoft Internet Explorer CMarkup Object Use-After-Free Exploit (MS14-021) Update 3
Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via vectors related to the CMarkup::IsConnectedToPrimaryMarkup function, as exploited in the wild in April 2014.
This update adds support for Internet Explorer 11.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the handling of Error Packet for overwrite all the .bss section and some portion of the .idata section.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Trend Micro OfficeScan Corporate Edition when processing passwords with cgiChkMasterPwd.exe vulnerable module. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to this module.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in SurgeMail Mail Server and installs an agent into the target host. A buffer overflow vulnerability is located in the function which handles the real CGI executables. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to this module.
This exploit perform three attempts to disable DEP in XP SP2 and Windows 2003.
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by instancing TLBINF32.DLL (sometimes installed as VSTLBINF.DLL) with a malicious DLL (IMPActiveX.ocx) as parameter. IMPActiveX.ocx has a helpstringdll property pointing to itself, and implements DLLGetDocumentation to install an agent.
Fuji Electric Monitouch V-SFT Project File Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within parsing of a V8 project file. The issue lies in the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer.
A vulnerability has been identified in HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (HPLIP), which could be exploited by local attackers to obtain elevated privileges. This issue is caused by input validation errors in the hpssd daemon that does not validate user-supplied data before being passed to a popen3() call, which could be exploited by malicious users to inject and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.
This package include local and remote versions of the exploit.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the database service (fbserver.exe) of the FireBird SQL application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet with a malformed "username" value to port 3050/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
