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.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing JPG image files and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted JPG image file.
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.
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.
Serva TFTPD Service Large Read Requests Parsing DoS
The Serva32 TFTPD service is vulnerable to a buffer overflow vulnerability when parsing large read requests. When the application reads in a large buffer the application crashes.
Wordpress W3 Total Cache PHP Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in W3 Total Cache plugin for Wordpress. Certain macros such as mfunc allow to inject PHP code into comments. By injecting a crafted comment into a valid post an attacker can execute arbitrary PHP code on systems running vulnerable installations of W3 Total Cache.
HP Intelligent Management IctDownloadServlet Directory Traversal Exploit
This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in HP Intelligent Management Center. Due to a lack of authentication and a directory traversal vulnerability in the IctDownloadServlet component, an attacker can retrieve arbitrary files.
HP Intelligent Management FaultDownloadServlet Directory Traversal Exploit
This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in HP Intelligent Management Center. Due to a lack of authentication and a directory traversal vulnerability in the FaultDownloadServlet component, an attacker can retrieve arbitrary files.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Symantec AMS Intel Handler service by sending a malformed packet to the 38292/TCP port to crash the application.
IBM SPSS SamplePower Vsflex8l ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
Buffer overflow when a special malformed string is assigned to the ComboList or ColComboList property. The code looks for a '#'in the string then copies into a global buffer in the data section with a static size of 0x64.
IBM SPSS SamplePower C1sizer ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability when handling the TabCaption buffer, C1sizer.ocx does not properly check the size before running lstrcatA and therefore will cause a buffer overflow.
Novell ZENworks Mobile Management Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Novell ZENworks Mobile Management application by injecting code in the PHP session file and leveraging a Local File Inclusion in mdm.php to execute the injected PHP code.
Oracle Java Font Handling Remote Code Execution Exploit
A specific flaw exists within the handling of CFF-based OpenType fonts. The issue lies in two operators that allow for reading and writing elements beyond the allocated buffers. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
SAP Netweaver Message Server _MsJ2EE_AddStatistics Memory Corruption Exploit
The Message Server component of SAP Netweaver is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability when the _MsJ2EE_AddStatistics function handles a specially crafted request with iflag value 0x0c MS_J2EE_SEND_TO_CLUSTERID, or 0x0d MS_J2EE_SEND_BROADCAST. This vulnerability can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server.
The DRDA protocol dissector in Wireshark can enter an infinite loop when processing an specially crafted DRDA packet with the iLength field set to 0, causing Wireshark to stop responding.
EMC AlphaStor Library Control Program Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the AlphaStor Library Control Program when processing commands and can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.
This module abuses a vulnerability in phpMyAdmin 3.5.x before 3.5.8 and 4.x before 4.0.0-rc3 that allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a /e\x00 sequence, which is not properly handled before making a preg_replace function call within the "Replace table prefix" feature.
Light HTTPD is prone to a buffer overflow when handling specially crafted GET request packets.
