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 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.
Adobe Acrobat Pro AFParseDate Javascript API Restrictions Bypass Exploit
Certain Javascript APIs in Adobe Acrobat Pro can only be executed in a privileged context. By adding specially crafted Javascript code to a PDF file it's possible to bypass security restrictions and invoke privileged Javascript APIs, allowing for arbitrary code execution.
HP Storage Data Protector MSG_PROTOCOL Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the OmniInet.exe service included in the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector application by sending a malformed MSG_PROTOCOL packet. This update improves exploit reliability.
FortiClient Weak IOCTL mdare Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
FortiClient is prone to a privilege-escalation vulnerability that affects mdare64_48.sys, mdare32_48.sys, mdare32_52.sys, mdare64_52.sys and Fortishield.sys drivers. All these drivers expose an API to manage processes and the windows registry, for instance, the IOCTL 0x2220c8 of the mdareXX_XX.sys driver returns a full privileged handle to a given process PID. In particular, this same function is replicated inside Fortishield.sys. Attackers can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges in the context of any selected process.
