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 Windows HTTP Services Integer Underflow DoS (MS09-013)
This module exploits an integer underflow on "SSDP Discovery Service" Windows service through HTTP response. 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.
Easy Chat Server Authentication Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
A remote user of vulnerable installations of Easy Chat Server can send a specially crafted password parameter to chat.ghp to trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

MSRPC Server Service Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS08-067) Update 3
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows Server service by sending a specially crafted RPC request. This update adds support for Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition sp2 with DEP enabled. This update also adds support for XP SP2 and 2003 SP1 as well as improves the reliability of the exploit against all supported platforms.
Microsoft WordPad Word97 Converter Stack Overflow Exploit (MS09-010)
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow vulnerability in WordPad when handling a specially crafted Word97 file. 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.
This module exploits an authentication vulnerability in OpenSite 2.1. The function init in origin/libs/user.php checks for a matching origin_hash cookie. However, this cookie can be bruteforced in at most 2^32 tries for a known username. Actually, the number of attempts could be significantly reduced knowing that we do not have to check for time in the future, and long past. This works for OpenSite 2.1 and below.

pPim Remote File Inclusion Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in pPIM's upload.php script that allows attackers to upload arbitrary scripts of any type to the target server.
A stack-based buffer overflow in eZip Wizard allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted zip file with a long name of the internal file.
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Reader when handling a specially crafted PDF file. This update adds support for Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.
Maya Studio EO Video Playlist Buffer Overflow Exploit
Maya Studio EO-Video is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input when handling playlist files.
Foxit Reader Open File Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Foxit Reader. If an Open/Execute a file action is defined in the PDF file with an overly long file name argument, when the trigger condition is satisfied it will cause a stack-based buffer overflow, because the application tries to copy the file name argument to a fixed-size buffer in the stack without properly checking that the buffer is large enough to hold the file name string. This update adds support for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003.
The FreeBSD kernel provides support for a variety of different types of communications sockets, including IPv4, IPv6, ISDN, ATM, routing protocol, link-layer, netgraph(4), and bluetooth sockets. Some function pointers for netgraph and bluetooth sockets are not properly initialized. This can be exploited to e.g. read or write to arbitrary kernel memory via a specially crafted "socket()" system call, and allows an unprivileged process to elevate privileges to root or escape a FreeBSD jail.
The POP Peeper client is vulnerable to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability is exploitable as a client side attack. A vulnerable POP Peeper user must connect to a server created by IMPACT Pro and attempt to retrieve mail in order for IMPACT Pro to exploit the vulnerable agent and deploy and agent on the users machine.

Anti Keylogger Elite Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Anti keylogger elite when the 0x002224A4 function is invoked with a specially crafted parameter. The IOCTL 0x002224A4 handler in the AKEProtect.sys device driver in Anti Keylogger Elite allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters to obtain system privileges.
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Reader when handling a specially crafted PDF file. 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 application is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Specifically, this issue occurs when the application creates a 'Connecting' log message. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing a vulnerable user into connecting to a malicious HTTP server or opening a specially crafted URI that contains an excessively long hostname.
This update adds Windows (XP) to the supported target systems for this exploit.
