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.

Microsoft Internet Explorer Event Handling Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a use-after-free error when handling events when the object firing the event is removed from the markup. 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.
HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Remote 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 adds support for HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 6.0 and for Windows XP and Vista.
Microsoft Windows Remote Kernel Infinite Loop DoS Update
This module sends a malformed NetBIOS packet which causes the execution of an infinite loop in the target system. This update adds support to Microsoft Windows 2008 and more Microsoft Windows 7 versions. This update adds support to Microsoft Windows as source agent spoofing a network address.
A remote buffer-overflow vulnerability affects Savant Web Server. This issue occurs because the application fails to validate the length of user-supplied strings before copying them into finite process buffers.
BigAnt IM Server USV Request Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the AntServer Module (AntServer.exe) to cause a stack-based buffer overflow, by sending a specially crafted, overly long "USV" request to the TCP port where the server is listening.

HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
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 module exploits a code execution vulnerability in the Veritas Web Server service by sending a specially crafted authentication request to the 14300/TCP port. That can be exploited by local users to gain elevated privileges.
Adobe Illustrator is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Specifically, overly long DSC comments in Encapsulated PostScript .EPS files may corrupt memory.
SAP GUI SAPLPD Multiple Command Buffer Overflow Exploit
Buffer overflow in SAPLPD 6.28 and earlier included in SAP GUI 7.10 and SAPSprint before 1018 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long arguments to the (1) 0x01, (2) 0x02, (3) 0x03, (4) 0x04, and (5) 0x05 LPD commands.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the ienipp.ocx control included in the Novell iPrint Client application. The exploit is triggered when the Target Frame parameter processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
HP OpenView NNM ovalarm CGI Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the ovalarm.exe application, part of the HP OpenView Network Node Manager application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the ports 3443/TCP or 80/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
Adobe PDF Newplayer JavaScript Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Professional .PDF files. The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors in newplayer() method in multimedia.api. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow when a specially crafted .PDF file is opened. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site. This Update adds support for Windows XP SP3 and Vista.
Novell iPrint Client Date Time Parameter Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the ienipp.ocx control included in the Novell iPrint Client application. The exploit is triggered when the Date Time parameter processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
Adobe PDF Newplayer JavaScript Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Professional .PDF files. The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors in newplayer() method in multimedia.api. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow when a specially crafted .PDF file is opened.

IBM Access Support GetXMLValue ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability has been identified in IBM Access Support ActiveX, which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise an affected system. This issue is caused by a buffer overflow error in the "IbmEgath.dll" module when processing malformed data passed to the "GetXMLValue()" method, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page.
Exploits an off-by-one bug in channel management code in OpenSSH. This update excludes the module from automated attacks launched by the "Network Attack and Penetration" feature, since the module requires credentials of a known account on the vulnerable system, and hence won't work with default parameters.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors within the "pdf_loadtype4shade()", "pdf_loadtype5shade()", "pdf_loadtype6shade()", and "pdf_loadtype7shade()" functions. This can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows.
A Reflected Cross Site Scripting vulnerability was found in the atksearch[contractnumber], atksearch_AE_customer[customer] and atksearchmode[contracttype] variables within the 'Organisation Contracts' administration page. This is because the application does not properly sanitise the users input.
