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.

Microsoft Office PowerPoint Sound Data Exploit (MS09-017)
Microsoft Office PowerPoint allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted sound data in a file that uses a PowerPoint 95 native file format.
Apple Safari parent.close Code Execution Exploit Update
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of parent windows and can result in a function call using an invalid pointer. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user e.g. visits a specially crafted web page and closes opened pop-up windows.
HP OpenView NNM getnnmdata Hostname CGI Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the getnnmdata.exe CGI application, a component of HP OpenView Network Node Manager, by sending an HTTP request with an invalid value for the Hostname parameter.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error with the handling of PORT commands. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted command passed to the affected server.
This update fix the Connect to connection method for some virtual machines.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of .WJR files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking the user into opening a .WJR file containing an overly long "Save To" field.
Eureka Mail Client Error Response Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of POP3 responses. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long error response.
This version fix XML and version number, add Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows 2000 suport, and fix len of the public IP problem.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the WireShark LWRES dissector by sending a specially crafted LWRES packet. This update adds support for more WireShark versions.
Microsoft Internet Explorer iepeers Use-After-Free Exploit
This module exploits a Use-After-Free vulnerability on Internet Explorer 6 and 7.
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.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Oracle Database Server. The vulnerability is triggered when the server processes a long string inside the AUTH_SESSKEY property resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
This module exploits a code execution vulnerability in the Veritas Web Server service by sending a specially crafted authentication request to the 14300/TCP port. That can be exploited by local users to gain elevated privileges.
Eval injection vulnerability in reserve.php in phpScheduleIt 1.2.10 and earlier, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the start_date parameter.
Microsoft Windows SMBv3 SMBGhost Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
An unauthenticated attacker can connect to the target system using SMBv3 and sends specially crafted requests to exploit the vulnerability. This module exploits this vulnerability in the local system in order to achieve an elevation of privilege. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
Microsoft Exchange Validation Key Remote OS Command Injection Exploit Update
.NET deserialization vulnerability in the Microsoft Exchange Control Panel web page allows authenticated attackers to execute OS commands with SYSTEM privileges.
The lack of randomization in the validationKey and decryptionKey values at installation allows an attacker to create a crafted viewstate to execute OS commands via .NET deserialization.
This update adds payload generation error detection and dependencies documentation.

Impact
Microsoft HTML Help Workshop HHP Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft HTML Workshop. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Microsoft HTML Help Workshop within the processing of .HHP files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened.
Cisco Data Center Network Manager Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability Exploit
Cisco Data Center Network Manager is vulnerable to an authenticated arbitrary file upload, which allows to upload a WAR file to the Apache Tomcat webapps directory.
The Apache Tomcat webapps directory can be determined using a information disclosure vulnerability.
Authentication can be bypassed on versions 10.4(2) and below.

Chilkat ActiveX Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a Remote Arbitrary File Creation/Execution vulnerability in the AppendBinary and SaveToFile function in Chilkat to deploy an agent.
Microsoft Windows LUAFV PostLuafvPostReadWrite SECTION_OBJECT_POINTERS Race Condition Privilege Escalation
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles calls to the LUAFV driver (luafv.sys). An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the security context of the local system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of .PNG files and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .PNG file.
By abusing document's event feature in LibreOffice and the LibreLogo script, an attacker can execute arbitrary python code from within a malicious document silently, without user warning.
