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.

OpenLDAP modrdn Request Multiple Vulnerabilities
OpenLDAP allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service effect (service crash) via a modrdn call with a zero-length RDN destination string, which is not properly handled by the smr_normalize function and triggers a NULL pointer dereference in the IA5StringNormalize function within schema_init.c
Microsoft Windows Group Policy Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit (MS15-011)
This module exploits, via a "Man In The Middle" attack, a security flaw in the Domain Controller policies downloaded by clients during the logging process
Microsoft Windows HTTP.sys Range Integer Overflow Memory Disclosure Exploit (MS15-034)
The code that handles the 'Range' HTTP header in the HTTP.sys driver in Microsoft Windows, which is used by Internet Information Services (IIS), is prone to an integer overflow vulnerability when processing a specially crafted HTTP request with a very long upper range. This integer overflow vulnerability can be leveraged to generate a memory disclosure condition, in which the HTTP.sys driver will return more data than it should from kernel memory, thus allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information from the affected server.
The specific flaw exists within the 'factory' object's loadExtensionFactory method. The issue lies in a failure to validate the size of an attacker-supplied input before copying it into a fixed-size buffer on the stack. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process. This version add x86_64 support.
Microsoft Excel XLB File Processing Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS11-021)
The vulnerability exists within the application's parsing of a particular record within a Microsoft Excel Compound Document. When specifying a particular value, the application will fail to initialize a variable that is used as the length of a memcpy operation.
HP LoadRunner Controller Scenario File Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the handling of scenario files (.lrs). By manipulating a scenario file's values, an attacker can cause a fixed-length stack buffer to overflow.
This update introduces an exploit for Apache ActiveMQ. The vulnerable versions present a path traversal vulnerability in default instalations that allows writing files to arbitrary filesystem locations, with the permissions of the user running the ActiveMQ process. This module leverages the vulnerability to install an agent. This exploit doesn't require authentication. The vulnerability is only present when the application is running in a Windows system.
Magento eCommerce Web Sites Remote Code Execution Exploit
Magento eCommerce Web Sites suffers from a Authentication Bypass Vulnerability, a Blind SQL Injection Vulnerability and a Remote File Inclusion Vulnerability. These 3 vulnerabilities, allows an attacker to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system.
AlienVault Unified Security Management av-forward Deserialization of Untrusted Data Exploit
This update introduces an exploit for AlienVault Unified Security Management. A vulnerability exists in the av-forward daemon running in AlienVault Unified Security Management appliances. The daemon accepts serialized Python and proceeds to deserialize it without proper validation, allowing unauthenticated arbitrary code execution.

Jenkins is prone to a remote vulnerability due to deserialization of untrusted inputs, allowing attackers to instantiate arbitrary Java objects leading to remote code execution. There are several API endpoints that allow low-privilege users to POST XML files that then get deserialized by Jenkins. Maliciously crafted XML files sent to these API endpoints could result in arbitrary code execution. This update adds support for HTTPS and IPv6. It also allows to change the application root path.
The specific flaw exists within the edit_lf_process resource of the AccuRev Reprise License Manager service. The issue lies in the ability to write arbitrary files with controlled data.
