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.

Exploit Type
Product Name
Linux IGMPv3 DoS
A flaw was found in the Linux kernels IPv4 IGMP query processing. This module exploit this to cause a denial of service.
CA iTechnology iGateway Debug Mode Buffer Overflow Exploit
The CA iGateway component, contains a buffer overflow vulnerability due to improper bounds checking on HTTP GET requests by the iGateway component when debug mode is enabled.
Trend Micro Control Manager CmdProcessor.exe AddTask Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
The CmdProcessor.exe service of Trend Micro Control Manager is prone to a stack-based buffer overflow, which can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted IPC packet to the vulnerable service.
A denial of service vulnerability has been found in the way the multiple overlapping ranges are handled by the Apache HTTPD server. This update fixes an issue when launching the module from an agent running in a Linux system.
SlimFTPd LIST Command Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
SlimFTPd server is prone to a stack buffer overflow when sending a LIST command with an overly-long argument. The attacker needs to be authenticated, so a successful login is required for the exploit to work.
Sunway Force Control SCADA SMNP NetDBServer Buffer Overflow Exploit
A stack based buffer overflow in the SNMP NetDBServer service of Sunway Forcecontrol is triggered when sending an overly long string to the listening service on port 2001.

Microsoft ASP.NET Hash Table Collisions DoS (MS11-100) Update
This module sends HTTP requests with specially crafted data making the ASP.NET subsystem consume lot of resources. This attack prevents the victim server from processing requests from legitimate clients and probably will make the server non-operational. This update fixes an issue when launching the module from an agent running in a Linux system.
Traq is vulnerable to an authentication bypass vulnerability, this module exploits this vulnerability in order to install a plugin hook to ultimately install an agent in the target host.

Impact
Adobe Flash Player MP4 SequenceParameterSetNALUnit Buffer Overflow Exploit
A buffer overflow vulnerability when handling MP4 files that lead to code execution.
An internal memory buffer may be overrun while handling long "USER" command. This condition may be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the NetTerm NetFTPD.exe process.
The flaw exists within the awhost32 component which is used when handling incoming connections. This process listens on TCP port 5631. When handling an authentication request the process copies the user supplied username unsafely to a fixed-length buffer.
TFTP Server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before storing it in a finite-sized buffer.
The SSL protocol encrypts data by using CBC mode with chained initialization vectors, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain plaintext HTTP headers via a blockwise chosen-boundary attack on an HTTPS session. This module attacks the SSLv3 implementation in the Oracle Java Runtime Enviroment. The module is capable of obtaining encrypted cookies from browsers running the affected Java Runtimes.
This module sends HTTP requests with specially crafted data making the PHP interpreter to consume lot of resources. This attack prevents the victim server from processing requests from legitimate clients and probably will make the server non-operational. This is update fixes an issue when launching the module from an agent running in a linux system.
This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in the Zope web application server used by Plone, by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected web site. The vulnerability exists because it is possible to remotely invoke the popen2 function from the Python os package with arbitrary arguments in the context of the affected server. This can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable machine.
Omni-NFS Enterprise FTP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This vulnerability is caused by a buffer overflow in Omni-NFS Enterprise FTP Server, due to its lack of checking of user-supplied data within FTP requests. This update add CVE.
Microsoft Windows Media Player MIDI Heap Overflow Exploit (MS12-004)
This module exploits a heap overflow in Windows Media Player (winmm.dll) when handling a specially crafted .MID 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.
An internal memory buffer may be overrun while handling long "USER" command. This condition may be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the FreeFTPdService.exe process.
Omni-NFS Server NFSD Stack Buffer Overflow Exploit
A buffer overflow exist in nfsd.exe in XLink Omni-NFS Server and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted TCP packet to port 2049 (nfsd).
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the streamprocess.exe service included in the Citrix Provisioning Services application by sending a malformed packet to the 6905/UDP port.
Altarsoft Audio Converter is prone to a buffer overflow when parsing malformed WAV files.
