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.

Exploits/Remote
Impact
HP iNode Management Center iNodeMngChecker Remote Code Execution Exploit
The flaw exists within the iNodeMngChecker.exe component which listens by default on TCP port 9090. When handling the 0x0A0BF007 packet type the process blindly copies user supplied data into a fixed-length buffer on the stack.
Eval injection vulnerability in reserve.php in phpScheduleIt 1.2.10 and earlier, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the start_date parameter. This update adds support for the Solaris and FreeBSD platforms.
Microsoft Windows Media Encoder DLL Hijacking (MS10-094)
Windows Media Encoder is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of an attacker supplied file named wmerrorENU.dll, if this dll is located in the same webdav/shared folder as a .PRX file.
Microsoft Office Shared Component DLL Hijacking Exploit (MS11-023)
Microsoft Office is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named rsaenh.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder as a .dotx file.
This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in the service.exe service included in the Measuresoft ScadaPro application by sending a sequence of malformed packets to the 11234/TCP port.
OpenLDAP allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service effect (service crash) via a modrdn call with a zero-length RDN destination string, which is not properly handled by the smr_normalize function and triggers a NULL pointer dereference in the IA5StringNormalize function within schema_init.c
ALZip is vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow in libETC.dll due to improper parsing of the filename or name parameter within MIM file headers if an overly long filename is provided.
