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.

wuftpd glob ~{ exploit
After successful exploitation an agent will be deployed. This agent will inherit the user identity and capabilities of the abused service, usually those of the user used to login to the FTP server (for example, ftp). However, the UID (as opposite to the EUID) of the agent will be that of the super user in most cases (usually 0), and it can be changed by using the setuid module (see "setuid"). When an anonymous user is used, or if the server is configured to do this for other users, the deployed agent will be running inside a chroot jail.
FutureSoft TFTP Server 2000 Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow in FutureSoft TFTP Server, that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long malformed filename and installs an agent if successful.
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.
GIMP is prone to a buffer overlow when a specially crafted packet is sent to its Script-Fu Server service. This allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of the application.
GlobalSCAPE Secure FTP Server Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on installations with GlobalSCAPE Secure FTP Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error with the handling of overly long commands. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted command passed to the affected server. Anonymous user accepted by the FTP server is required to exploit this vulnerability.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on installations of Golden FTP Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error with the handling of passwords. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted passwords passed to the affected server.
There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the administration web server for GoodTech Telnet Server which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code using an specially crafted string to port 2380.
HP AutoPass License Server CommunicationServlet Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in HP AutoPass License Server. The CommunicationServlet component in HP AutoPass License Server does not enforce authentication and has a directory traversal vulnerability allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code trough a JSP page uploaded to the vulnerable server.
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. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
HP Data Protector Express Create New Folder Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in HP Data Protector Express. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted packet to port TCP/3817.
HP Data Protector Express Opcode 0x330 Parsing Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in HP Data Protector, by sending a malformed message with opcode 0x330 to the port 3817/TCP, which will trigger a buffer overflow. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
HP iNode Management Center iNodeMngChecker Remote Code Execution Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing HP iNode Management Center. A remote user can send specially crafted data to TCP port 9090 to trigger a stack overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
HP Intelligent Management Center mibFileUpload Servlet Remote Exploit
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in HP Intelligent Management Center by using the "mibFileUpload" servlet to upload an arbitrary .JSP file.
HP Intelligent Management Center UAM sprintf Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in HP Intelligent Management Center's uam.exe service which listens on port UDP/1811. The vulnerability is due to lack of validation of a string passed to sprintf.
