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.

Product Name
Microsoft Internet Explorer window() exploit
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via a Javascript BODY onload event that calls the window function. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent.
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.
Added support for Windows Vista, 2003 and 2000.

Microsoft Word ehTrace COM Server-based Binary Planting Exploit(MS11-073)
Microsoft Word have several safely registered COM servers whose DLLs make unsafe library loading calls.
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.
Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer Exploit (MS08-051)
This module exploits a memory allocation error in Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 2003 that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PowerPoint file with a malformed picture index that triggers memory corruption.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the GenVersion.dll module included in the Iconics Genesis 32 application. The exploit is triggered when the SetActiveXGUID() method processes a malformed argument resulting in a memory corruption.
The specific flaw exists within qcpfformat.dll, which is responsible for parsing QCP media files. The process creates a static 256 byte allocation on the heap and trusts a user-supplied counter from the file within a memory copy loop.
This version adds support for Internet Explorer 8 with java enabled.
Adobe Flash Player shared ByteArray Use-After-Free Exploit Update
This module exploits a Use-After-Free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. The method ByteArray::clear does not notify the suscriber when frees the memory assigned to a ByteArray object leaving a dangling pointer that can be later dereferenced.
This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable machines by enticing unsuspecting users to visit a website serving a specially crafted SWF Flash file.
This vulnerability was found exploited in the wild in February 2015.
Microsoft Office Shared Component DLL Hijacking Exploit (MS11-023)
Microsoft Office is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named rsaenh.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder as a .dotx file.
Adobe Acrobat Pro Multiple Vulnerabilities Exploit
A specially crafted argument to makeMeasurement will leave objects in an inconsistent state and can produce a Buffer Overflow. This data can later be retrieved via a call to dumpMeasureData.
Finally using NSendApprovalToAuthorEnabled method it is possible to bypass the Javascript API restrictions.
Adobe Flash Player AS3 Function.apply Integer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits an integer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. The signed integer overflow exists inside the AS3 Function.apply() method and allows an attacker to take control of a vulnearble target and execute arbitrary code.
Pointdev IDEAL Migration is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the applications fail to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data, when handling .IPJ files.
ZipWrangler contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in ZipWrangler when handling .ZIP files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .ZIP file.
Oracle Java Soundbank Resource Name Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Oracle Java SE when jsound.dll parses a specially crafted Soundbank file.
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.
Apple iTunes is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the software fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
Microsoft PowerPoint OEPlaceholderAtom Record Invalid Index Exploit (MS10-004) Update
Array index error in Microsoft Powerpoint, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PowerPoint document, aka "PowerPoint OEPlaceholderAtom" 'placementId' Invalid Array Indexing Vulnerability.
IBM Access Support GetXMLValue ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability has been identified in IBM Access Support ActiveX, which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise an affected system. This issue is caused by a buffer overflow error in the "IbmEgath.dll" module when processing malformed data passed to the "GetXMLValue()" method, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page.
IBM Informix Products Setnet32 Utility NFX Buffer Overflow Exploit
Multiple IBM Informix products are prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the software fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
