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.

Impact
Asterisk T.38 buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the T38FaxRateManagement parameter when parsing SIP/SDP requests in 1.4.x prior to 1.4.3. This update improves the reliability of the module.
Microsoft Excel OBJ Record Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS10-038)
Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office Excel allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an Excel file with a crafted OBJ (0x5D) record.
Microsoft Windows LNK Shortcut Automatic File Execution Exploit
Microsoft Windows is prone to a vulnerability that may allow a file to automatically run because the software fails to handle 'LNK' files properly. Specifically, the issue occurs when loading the icon of a shortcut file. A specially crafted 'LNK' file can cause Windows to automatically execute code that is specified by the shortcut file. This vulnerability is currently being exploited in the wild. This update provides two modules: one of them can be used to exploit this vulnerability via an USB drive, and the other one provides a typical IMPACT client-side attack via email.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the mDNSResponder service running on certain versions of Apple Mac OS X. The vulnerability is exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted UPnP Internet Gateway Device (IGD) packet and installing an agent. This update adds port parameter.
FreeBSD mount Local Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
FreeBSD is prone to multiple stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the kernel fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. If the system is configured to allow unprivileged users to mount file systems, it is possible for a local adversary to exploit this vulnerability and execute code in the context of the kernel. This update fixs some issues and adds validations pre-explotation.
Windows Movie Maker MSWMM Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS10-016) Update
This module exploits a heap-based buffer overflow in the Microsoft Windows Movie Maker application by sending a specially crafted .MSWMM file. This update adds support for Windows Movie Maker 2.6.
This module exploits an improper bound checking in MoreAmp when importing a MAF (song list) file. This causes a stack based overflow and allows code execution on the targeted system with the privileges of the user which is running the application.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Kingsoft Writer by using a crafted .doc file which causes a stack-based buffer overflow which allows arbitrary code execution on the targeted system.

Microsoft Office Outlook Linked Attachment Exploit (MS10-045)
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Office Outlook when verifying attachments that are attached using the ATTACH_BY_REFERENCE value of the PR_ATTACH_METHOD property in a specially crafted e-mail message. 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.
Microsoft Windows CreateWindow Function Callback Exploit (MS10-032) Update
This update improves the exploit reliability and adds support to Windows XP SP2. This module exploits a vulnerability in win32k.sys when a "window" is created.
Microsoft Windows Print Spooler Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS09-022) Update
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the EnumeratePrintShares function in the Print Spooler Service in Microsoft Windows to install an agent in the target machine. This update adds TCP Spoofing Listener capabilities.
A stack-based buffer overflow in UltraISO allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted .MDS file.

Skype Extras Manager ActiveX Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Extras Manager ActiveX Control included in Skype. This bug is currently being exploited in the wild.
BlazeDVD is prone to a remote memory-corruption vulnerability because the application fails to handle malformed playlist files. This version add support for BlazeDVD 6 and Windows 7.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the included web server when processing HTTP requests. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long GET request.
Apple Safari parent.close Code Execution Exploit Update
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of parent windows and can result in a function call using an invalid pointer. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user e.g. visits a specially crafted web page and closes opened pop-up windows. This update correct Linux support error.
