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 Excel Featheader Record Memory Corruption Vulnerability Exploit (MS09-067)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Office Excel handles specially crafted Excel files that include a malformed record object. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module.
MSRPC CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup ReportRemoteExecuteCML Buffer Overflow Exploit
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup is prone to a stack based buffer overflow vulnerability on the RPC interface that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer.

A vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office Word when handling a specially crafted Word file that includes a malformed File Information Block (FIB). 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.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing certain sections of .SPD (policy) files. Passing an overly long string to either "TREENAME" or "GROUPNAME"
Autodesk 3D Studio Max allows users to bind script to application callbacks. This functionality could be exploited by an attacker by making a victim open a seemingly innocuous .MAX file with malicious script embedded.
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow vulnerability in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE when the HsbParser.getSoundBank function in jsound.dll handles a specially crafted .JAR file.
Corrupts the NetBIOS Cache to allow redirection of NetBIOS and DNS names to an arbitrary IP Address. This update fixes a problem when closing the local udp port used by the module, in cases where the execution was stopped manually.
Microsoft Windows Web Services on Devices Memory Corruption DoS (MS09-063)
The vulnerability is caused due to a WSD message with a long header value, this can lead to memory corruption within the process hosting WSDApi.dll. This can cause the service or application to crash. To be clear, the vulnerability is in the Windows module used to interact with devices that support Web Services on Devices, and does not affect the devices themselves. 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.
Symantec ConsoleUtilities ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
