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.

Product Name
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup Message Service Exploit
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the RPC interface that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer.
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.
CA Total Defense UNCWS Web Service deleteReportFilter Remote Code Execution Exploit
The UNCWS Web Service component of CA Total Defense listens for SOAP requests. The deleteReportFilter method makes use of the uncsp_DeleteFilter stored procedure, which is vulnerable to SQL Injection. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable machine with SYSTEM privileges.
CA Total Defense UNCWS Web Service DeleteReports Remote Code Execution Exploit
The UNCWS Web Service component of CA Total Defense listens for SOAP requests. The DeleteReports method makes use of the uncsp_DeleteReports stored procedure, which is vulnerable to SQL Injection. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable machine with SYSTEM privileges.
CA Total Defense UNCWS Web Service exportReport Remote Code Execution Exploit
The UNCWS Web Service component of CA Total Defense listens for SOAP requests. The exportReport method makes use of the uncsp_GenerateReports_Dashboard stored procedure, which is vulnerable to SQL Injection. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable machine with SYSTEM privileges.

CA Total Defense UNCWS Web Service getDBConfigSettings Remote Code Execution Exploit
The UNCWS Web Service component of CA Total Defense listens for SOAP requests. A remote unauthenticated attacker can invoke the getDBConfigSettings method, and the Web Service will answer with the server's database credentials. Once that the credentials are captured, it is possible for a remote attacker to connect to the database and execute arbitrary code under the context of the database administrator.
CA Total Defense UNCWS Web Service UnAssignAdminUsers Remote Code Execution Exploit
The UNCWS Web Service component of CA Total Defense listens for SOAP requests. The UnAssignAdminUsers method makes use of the uncsp_UnassignAdminRoles stored procedure, which is vulnerable to SQL Injection. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable machine with SYSTEM privileges.
CA XOsoft Control Service entry_point.aspx Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow in CA XOsoft Control Service by passing overly long arguments to the entry_point.aspx login page. Authentication is not required for this exploit to work.
An internal memory buffer may be overrun while handling long "MKD" commands. This condition may be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the CesarFTP process. The CesarFTP server will be left inaccessible after successful exploitation.
The Cisco NX-OS CDPD daemon is vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack. This bug can be exploited remotely. The attack must be issued from the same local net of the target host.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Cisco Secure ACS UCP. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Cisco Secure ACS UCP when processing passwords with CSuserCGI.exe vulnerable module. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to this module.
An overly long packet content directly overwrites the SEH handler for the frame allowing for control over EIP. After successful exploitation an agent will be installed.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler server. Citrix NetScaler is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability when handling certain SOAP requests.
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.
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.

CoDeSys SCADA Webserver Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in CoDeSys SCADA webserver. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted packet to port 8080.
By sending a malformed 'Directory' request it is possible to create a condition where free() is called on memory that is still in use. This can result in an exploitable condition when free() is called on the memory chunk a second time.
When the option imapmagicplus is activated on a Cyrus IMAP server the PROXY and LOGIN commands suffer a standard stack overflow, because the username is not checked against a maximum length when it is copied into a temporary stack buffer. This bug is exploited by this module to install an agent. Cyrus 2.2.8 and prior are vulnerable.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing CATIA. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when copying a user supplied input to a fixed size stack buffer.The copying procedure stops when a null byte is found and no size check is proceeded.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing DATAC RealWin. A remote user can send specially crafted data to TCP port 910 to trigger a stack overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
