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 Excel HFPicture Record Parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS10-038)
Buffer overflow in Microsoft Office Excel allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .XLS file with a malformed HFPicture (0x866) record.
Microsoft Office Excel RTD Data Record Processing Stack Overwrite Exploit (MS11-021) Update
The flaw exists within the methods used for RealTimeData Record Parsing. When handling a stTopic field has a bit set specifying double byte characters in the following field the value of a global pointer is improperly calculated.
TuneUp Utilities is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of wscapi.dll if this dll is located in the same folder than a .TVS file. The attacker must entice a victim into opening a specially crafted .TVS file. This file and the associated binary may be delivered to a user through remote WebDAV shares. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.
Adobe Acrobat X Pro updaternotifications DLL Hijacking Exploit
Adobe Acrobat X Pro is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named updaternotifications.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder as a .PDF file.
The attacker must entice a victim into opening a specially crafted .PDF file. This file and the associated binary may be delivered to a user through remote WebDAV shares. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.
Cisco Linksys PlayerPT ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in the PlayerPT.ocx module included in the Cisco Linksys WVC200 Wireless-G PTZ Internet Video Camera application. The exploit is triggered when the SetSource() method processes a crafted argument resulting in a buffer overflow.
This update adds support for Internet Explorer 8 and 9 and Windows 7, detected automatically.
The vulnerability is due to an error while parsing Parts field in ABC files which can result in an integer overflow in the libmodplug library used by VLC Media Player.
Microsoft Silverlight Double Dereference Exploit (MS13-022)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Silverlight that can allow a specially crafted Silverlight application to access memory in an unsafe manner. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the security context of the current user.
DJ Studio Pro contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the application when handling .pls files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .pls file. This overflow allows to overwrite an SEH pointer, generate and exception and execute arbitrary code.
TRENDnet SecurView Internet Camera UltraMJCam OpenFileDlg Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability exists in TRENDnet SecurView Internet Camera's ActiveX control that can be exploited by sending a long string of data to the OpenFileDlg() function.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Oracle Java taking advantages of the java.sql.DriverManager class. The specific flaw exists within the usage of java.sql.DriverManager. The issue lies in an implicit call to toString() that is made within a doPrivileged block. This flaw allows an unprivileged Java applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user.
This vulnerability was one of the 2013's Pwn2Own challenges.
The default Java security properties configuration does not restrict access to certain objects in the com.sun.jmx.mbeanserver packages. This flaw allows an unprivileged Java applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user.
This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them.

Microsoft MSHTML Remote Code Execution Exploit
This is a critical vulnerability in the MSHTML rendering engine. Microsoft Office applications use the MSHTML engine to process and display web content. An adversary who successfully exploits could achieve full control over a target system by using malicious ActiveX controls to execute arbitrary code.
Mitsubishi Electric and INEA SmartRTU Source Code Disclosure Vulnerability
Mitsubishi Electric meets these demands with the smartRTU. It supports protocols such as DNP3 and IEC 60870. The smart- RTU combines the reliability and robustness of our standard PLC technology with a smart communication gateway, the ME-RTU gateway.
