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.

This module exploits a vulnerability in Pointdev IDEAL Administration, when importing a project file, may allow a remote unprivileged user who provides a crafted IPJ document that is opened by a local user to execute code on the system with the privileges of the user running Pointdev IDEAL Administration. This can be exploited to cause a stack based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is imported.

Exploits/Client Side
Impact
IBM Lotus Domino nLDAP Remote DoS
IBM Lotus Domino is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.
IBM solidDB does not properly perform a recursive call to a certain function upon receiving packet data containing a single integer field, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a TCP session.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the HyleosChemView.ocx control included in the Hyleos ChemView ActiveX application. The exploit is triggered when the OpenURL() method processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
Zend Server Java Bridge Design Flaw Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Java Bridge component of Zend Server.

Exploits/Remote
Impact
VLC Media Player NSV Memory Corruption Exploit
A code execution vulnerability exists in the way that VLC handles specially crafted .NSV (Nullsoft streaming video file) files when opening in Internet Explorer 6 or 7.
CA ARCserve D2D installs the Apache Axis2 Web services engine with the default password for the administrator account, which can be abused by a remote attacker to upload an .AAR web service and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on the machine where the vulnerable software is installed.
IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express for Software ActiveX Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the way the ActiveX Control parses data supplied to the RunAndUploadFile function. The ActiveX control is used to create an Asset Information file for the local system to be uploaded to the IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express Server.
HP OpenView Performance Agent coda.exe Opcode 0x34 Buffer Overflow Exploit
A buffer overflow exists in coda.exe process which listens on a random TCP port by default. The process trusts a value within a GET request as a size then proceeds to copy that many bytes of user-supplied data into a fixed-length buffer on the stack.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Oracle Java. Abusing the insecure invoke() method of the ProviderSkeleton class that allows to call arbitrary static methods with user supplied arguments it is possible to execute arbitrary code.
Microsoft Windows Win32k pprFlattenRec Vulnerability Exploit Update 2
This module exploits a vulnerability in win32k.sys when the EPATHOBJ::pprFlattenRec() doesn't initialize the pointer to the next memory chunk. This update adds support to Windows 2003, Windows 2008 and Windows Vista
A vulnerability exists in AnnotateX.dll - by invoking the Add() method it is possible to call inside of any memory region of choice as selected by an attacker.
This module exploits a vulnerability in MongoDB server. An arbitrary value passed as a parameter to the nativeHelper function in MongoDB server allows an attacker to control the execution flows to achieve remote code execution.
Procyon Core Server HMI Scada Coreservice Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
Vulnerability in the coreservice.exe component of Procyon Core Server versions 1.13 and below. While processing a password, the application fails to do proper bounds checking before copying data into a buffer on the stack. This causes a buffer overflow and allows it to overwrite a structured exception handling record, allowing for unauthenticated remote code execution. This version updates runtime value to the appropriate for this case.
Adobe Flash Player ActiveX SWF Memory Corruption Exploit
This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player when parsing a specially crafted .SWF file, which can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable machines by convincing an unsuspecting user to visit a malicious web site.
Linux Kernel compat_alloc_user_space Privilege Escalation Exploit
The "compat_alloc_user_space" function, which belongs to the 32-bit compatibility layer for 64-bit versions of Linux, can produce a stack pointer underflow when it's called with an arbitrary length input. This vulnerability can be used by local unprivileged users to corrupt the kernel memory in order to gain root privileges.
Microsoft Internet Explorer MSHTML CMarkup Use-After-Free Exploit
Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving crafted JavaScript code.
Microsoft Windows TCP IPv6 Router Advertisement Message DoS (MS14-006)
This module exploits a vulnerability in tcpip.sys by sending a big number of router advertisement messages to the target causing a stop responding behavior.
Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 and 7.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, by calling InstallVersion.compareTo with an object instead of a string. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent.
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.
