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. Witten by our own internal team, 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.

Delta Automation CNCSoft Screen Editor is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability that occurs because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data via a crafted .DPB document. This module runs a malicious web server on the Core Impact Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to it.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling .PDF files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file of said extension.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling .WMA/.MP3/.WAV files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file of said extension.
Free WMA MP3 Converter Local Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling .WAV files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file of said extension.

Fuji Electric V-Server VPR File Parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit (CVE-2018-10637)
Fuji Electric V-Server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability that occurs because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data via a crafted .VPR document. This module runs a malicious web server on the Core Impact Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to it.
Microsoft Windows Shell Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit (CVE-2018-8414)
Microsoft Windows Shell does not properly validate file paths, allowing the execution of ".SettingContent-ms" files from outside the "ImmersiveControlPanel" folder. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site.
Microsoft Windows Shell Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit (CVE-2018-8495)
Microsoft Windows Shell does not properly sanitize special characters in a URI, allowing to open a dangerous files. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling .M3U files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file of said extension.

VBScript Engine UAF Exploit
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by exploiting an invalid pointer reference in Internet Explorer.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling .PLS files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file of said extension.
A stack-based buffer overflow in WECON LeviStudioU Editor allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via crafted Project file. This module runs a malicious web server on the Core Impact Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to it.
Microsoft Windows DHCP Server Heap Overflow Vulnerability DoS
A Heap Overflow vulnerability exists in the Windows Server DHCP service when an attacker sends specially crafted packets to a DHCP server. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code or crash the DHCP server.
Exploits / Remote File Inclusion / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
D-Link Central WiFiManager FTP Server Default Credentials Remote PHP File Upload Vulnerability Exploit
D-Link Central WiFiManager FTP Server is vulnerable to an unauthenticated php remote file inclusion, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary php code in the system.
