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.

HP Data Protector DtbClsLogin Remote Exploit
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in HP Data Protector, by sending a specially crafted packet to the port 3817/TCP, which will trigger a buffer overflow when processed by the DtbClsLogin function in the dpwindtb.dll module.
An input sanitization flaw was found in the way JBoss Seam processes certain parameterized JBoss Expression Language (EL) expressions. A remote unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code via GET requests, containing specially-crafted expression language parameters, provided to web applications based on the JBoss Seam framework. This module exploits the vulnerability in any web application based on vulnerable versions of the Seam 2 framework.
Novell iPrint Client ActiveX Control Debug Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the ienipp.ocx ActiveX control. The control accepts a 'debug' parameter that is expected to be either "yes" or "true". If a string of a specific length is provided instead, a processing loop within the ExecuteRequest method can be made to corrupt a stack-based buffer.
Microsoft Office Excel RTD Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS10-038)
Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office Excel 2002 SP3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an Excel file with a malformed RTD (0x813) record, aka "Excel RTD Memory Corruption Vulnerability".
Microsoft Office Word Property Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS06-038)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Office, and could be exploited when a malformed property included in an Office file was parsed by any of the affected Office applications.
Integard Home and Pro Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of HTTP POST requests. This may allow execution of arbitrary code by sending an overly long, specially crafted HTTP POST request to the server.
