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.

Impact
pPim Remote File Inclusion Exploit
This exploits attacks pPim 1.0 software. By creating a specially crafted link an attacker can run arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server process.
Exploits / Remote File Inclusion / Known Vulnerabilities
This module exploit PureFTPd service using Bash Command Injection Vulnerability (CVE 2014-6271). The module works if the service is handling the incoming authentication connections via a bash script.
This module exploit PureFTPd service using Bash Command Injection Vulnerability (CVE 2014-6278). The module works if the service is handling the incoming authentication connections via a bash script.
Quick TFTP Server Pro Mode Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Quick TFTP Server Pro when processing a very large mode field in a read or write request and installs an agent if successful. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a very long TFTP Error Packet to both service or standalone versions.
Register an IOS Agent for executing modules and/or commands on a Network Device, exploiting an authorization vulnerability in HTTP administration interface of the Network Device.
RealNetworks Helix Server AgentX Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in AgentX++, as distributed with Helix Server, by sending multiple blocks of data to the port 705/TCP. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
This module exploits an array overflow vulnerability in RealServers and Helix Servers 8.0 and higher. The bug is present in the code for accessing RealServer's registry (or configuration options), in the constructor for the class ServRegKey (at least in the open source version of Helix Server). The bug occurs when a string is splitted in several substrings, using '.' as separator.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in RealServer 8.0 when constructing error messages. After successful exploitation an agent will be installed.
This exploit simulates a RealVNC client and establishes a connection with a Real VNC server without using a password. After that, it opens a console, writes the exploit and executes it in ntsd.exe
Wordpress DM Albums Plugin security_file Remote File Inclusion Exploit
Input passed to the SECURITY_FILE parameter in wp-content/plugins/dm-albums/template/album.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or external resources.

Impact
SAP Netweaver DiagTraceR3Info Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
The DiagTraceR3Info function of the disp+work.exe component of SAP Netweaver is prone to a remote buffer overflow when the worker process trace level is set to values 2 or 3 for the Dialog Processor component. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable machine by sending a specially crafted packet containing ST_R3INFO CODEPAGE items. This exploit bypasses Data Execution Prevention (DEP). Agents installed with this module will run under the SAPServiceSNP user account.
SAP Netweaver Message Server _MsJ2EE_AddStatistics Memory Corruption Exploit
The Message Server component of SAP Netweaver is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability when the _MsJ2EE_AddStatistics function handles a specially crafted request with iflag value 0x0c MS_J2EE_SEND_TO_CLUSTERID, or 0x0d MS_J2EE_SEND_BROADCAST. This vulnerability can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server. This exploit bypasses Data Execution Prevention (DEP). Agents installed with this module will run under the SAPService user account.
Vulnerable code to arbitrary PHP code jnjection (works with magic_quotes_gpc = off) in /includes/converter.inc.php.

Impact
Schneider Electric Accutech Manager Heap Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a heap overflow vulnerability in the Schneider Electric Accutech Manager Server by sending a malformed packet to the 2537/TCP port to crash the application.
Schneider Electric Interactive Graphical SCADA System Buffer Overflow Exploit
This Stack-based buffer overflow exploits a vulnerability in Schneider Electric's Interactive Graphical SCADA System (IGSS) that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted packet to TCP port-12397.
A unrestricted file upload vulnerability exists in includes/inline_image_upload.php within AutoSec Tools V-CMS 1.0. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with an executable extension and then accessing it via a direct request to the file in temp.
There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows Messenger service. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code with System privileges. The vulnerability is triggered by sending a malformed message to the vulnerable host. Manipulating the length of the packet allows portions of the heap memory to be overwritten with user defined data.
Schneider Electric Serial Modbus Driver Buffer Overflow Exploit
The Modbus Serial Driver creates a listener on Port 27700/TCP. When a connection is made, the Modbus Application Header is first read into a buffer. If a large buffer size is specified in this header, a stack-based buffer overflow can be done.
