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.

tiki-graph_formula.php in TikiWiki 1.9.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via PHP sequences in the f array parameter, which will be processed by the create_function.
The web interface for AWStats 6.4 and 6.5, when statistics updates are enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in the migrate parameter.
The include/imageObjectIM.class.php in Coppermine Photo Gallery (CPG) (before 1.4.15), when the ImageMagick picture processing method is configured, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a shell.
General Electric ihDataArchiver Service Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow vulnerability in the ihDataArchiver.exe service included in several GE SCADA applications by sending a malformed packet to the 14000/TCP port.
InduSoft Web Studio SCADA REVERB1 DLL Hijacking Exploit
InduSoft Web Studio SCADA is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of module REVERB1 if this dll is located in the same folder than .APP file.
Microsoft Excel XLB File Processing Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS11-021)
The vulnerability exists within the application's parsing of a particular record within a Microsoft Excel Compound Document. When specifying a particular value, the application will fail to initialize a variable that is used as the length of a memcpy operation.
The session list screen (provided by sessionList.jsp) in affected versions uses the orderBy and sort request parameters without applying filtering and therefore is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack. Users should be aware that Tomcat 6 does not use httpOnly for session cookies by default so this vulnerability could expose session cookies from the manager application to an attacker.
Exploits/Cross Site Scripting (XSS)/Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Xampp php_self Cross Site Scripting Exploit
XAMPP suffers from multiple XSS issues in several scripts that use the 'PHP_SELF' variable. The vulnerabilities can be triggered in the 'xamppsecurity.php', 'cds.php' and 'perlinfo.pl' because there isn't any filtering to the mentioned variable in the affected scripts. Attackers can exploit these weaknesses to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session.

Microsoft Windows Font Library File Buffer Overrun Vulnerability Exploit (MS11-077)
When a crafted ".fon" file is loaded by Windows Kernel this produces a kernel heap overflow. This module exploits this vulnerability filling the kernel memory via heap spraying and building a fake chunk header.
Microsoft Windows Meeting Space DLL Hijacking Exploit (MS11-085)
Windows Meeting Space is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named wab32res.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder as a .WCINV file.
The Rhino Script Engine of Oracle Java fails to properly check for permissions on JavaScript error objects. This flaw allows an unprivileged applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing certain packets and can be exploited to cause a crash via a specially crafted packet sent to TCP port 2194.
