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.

HP Intelligent Management FaultDownloadServlet Directory Traversal Exploit
This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in HP Intelligent Management Center. Due to a lack of authentication and a directory traversal vulnerability in the FaultDownloadServlet component, an attacker can retrieve arbitrary files.
HP Intelligent Management IctDownloadServlet Directory Traversal Exploit
This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in HP Intelligent Management Center. Due to a lack of authentication and a directory traversal vulnerability in the IctDownloadServlet component, an attacker can retrieve arbitrary files.
A vulnerability has been identified in HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (HPLIP), which could be exploited by local attackers to obtain elevated privileges. This issue is caused by input validation errors in the hpssd daemon that does not validate user-supplied data before being passed to a "popen3()" call, which could be exploited by malicious users to inject and execute arbitrary commands.
A vulnerability has been identified in HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (HPLIP), which could be exploited by remote attackers to install an agent with root privileges. This issue is caused by input validation errors in the hpssd daemon that does not validate user-supplied data before being passed to a "popen3()" call, which could be exploited by malicious users to inject and execute arbitrary commands.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in HP Network Node Manager I (NNMi). The PMD service in HP NNMi is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow when handling a specially crafted stack_option packet.
HP Network Node Manager I ovopi Option -L Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in ovopi.dll which listens by default on a UDP port 696. When parsing option -L, the process blindly copies user supplied data into a fixed-length buffer allowing for an arbitrary write to occur.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Shared Trace Service (ovtrcsvc.exe) of the HP OpenView application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet to port 5053/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
HP OpenView NNM getnnmdata CGI Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the getnnmdata.exe CGI application, a component of HP OpenView Network Node Manager, by sending an HTTP request with an invalid value for the MaxAge parameter. The agent installed by this exploit will run as "IUSR" user. Authentication is not required for this exploit to work.
HP OpenView NNM getnnmdata Hostname CGI Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the getnnmdata.exe CGI application, a component of HP OpenView Network Node Manager, by sending an HTTP request with an invalid value for the Hostname parameter. The agent installed by this exploit will run as "IUSR" user. Authentication is not required for this exploit to work.
HP OpenView NNM getnnmdata ICount CGI Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the getnnmdata.exe CGI application, a component of HP OpenView Network Node Manager, by sending an HTTP request with an invalid value for the ICount parameter. The agent installed by this exploit will run as "IUSR" user. Authentication is not required for this exploit to work.
HP OpenView NNM HTTP Request Stack Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Toolbar application, part of the HP OpenView Network Node Manager application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the ports 3443/TCP or 80/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful. On Windows the agent installed by this exploit has the user "IUSR".
HP OpenView NNM jovgraph displayWidth Buffer Overflow Exploit
