Library of expert validated exploits for safe and effective pen tests
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. Whether written by our own internal team or by a third party like ExCraft, 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.

This module exploits a vulnerability in Avast Antivirus ASWMON.SYS driver when handling a specially crafted IOCTL request. The vulnerability allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters.
MS Word Record Parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS09-027) Update
Microsoft Word is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
Microsoft Windows SMB 2.0 Negotiate Protocol Request Remote Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability on srv2.sys via a SMB 2 malformed packet.
This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.
There is an authentication vulnerability in the Windows debugging subsystem (smss). This allows any user to obtain a handle with any access of any process running. With this handle an agent is injected in a SYSTEM process.
Microsoft Windows SRV.SYS Server Driver DoS (MS06-035)
A boundary error in the Server service (SRV.SYS) when handling first-class Mailslot messages can be exploited to corrupt memory by sending a specially crafted packet to the service.
This module exploits a XSS vulnerability in JOnAS which allows IMPACT Pro to perform remote command injection impersonating an administrator and uploading a plugin to the JOnAS server.
This module runs a web server waiting for a JOnAS administrator to connect to it. When the client connects, it will retrieve their JOnAS cookie and try to install an agent on the JOnAS server by installing a custom plugin in JOnAS.
A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Forum module in Drupal 6.x (proir to version 6.13) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts or HTML by requesting a specially crafted tid.
The vulnerability is present only if the Forum module is activated, this is not the default configuration but the module is shipped by default with Drupal.
Jetty Directory Listing Cross Site Scripting Exploit
A Cross-Site scripting vulnerability has been reported in Jetty. This vulnerability can be induced whenever Jetty displays a web directory listing. Client-side script code can be included in the HTTP response by appending it next to directory listing's path, preceded by a ';' character.
Microsoft Windows MSMQ Null Pointer DoS (MS09-040)
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Message Queue Service driver (MQAC.SYS). The IOCTL handler in the MQAC.SYS device driver allows local users to overwrite memory via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters.
This exploit takes advantage of a vulnerability that allows attackers to cause ProFTP to execute arbitrary code via a malformed welcome message of the server.
Apple Mac OS X HFS Plus Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
XNU 1228.9.59 and earlier on Apple Mac OS X 10.5.6 and earlier does not properly restrict interaction between user space and the HFS IOCTL handler. This allows local users to overwrite kernel memory and gain privileges by attaching an HFS+ disk image and performing certain steps involving HFS_GET_BOOT_INFO fcntl calls.
Adobe Flash Player SWF Buffer Overflow Exploit Update 2
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player triggered when processing a specially crafted SWF file. This update resolves an issue with how the exploit uses client side cookies.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the FTP server in Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) via a crafted NLST command that uses wildcards.
WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.
VirtualMin Dom Parameter Cross Site Scripting Exploit
Input passed to the "dom" parameter in left.cgi and via the URL to virtual-server/link.cgi is not properly sanitized before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
Microsoft Windows SMB 2.0 Negociate Protocol Request Remote BSOD DoS
This module exploits a remote denial of service condition by sending a specially crafted SMB 2.0 packet to the target machine. Windows Vista and 7 are affected by this problem.

This module exploits a vulnerability in Oracle WebLogic IIS Connector when sending a specially crafted POST message with a specially JSESSIONID cookie.
This update resolves a conflict created when working with more than one
XSS Exploit Generator at the same time. It also brings more stability when
processing deleted Web Browser Agents.

Microsoft Windows Telnet Credential Reflection (MS09-042)
This module exploits a vulnerability on telnet.exe using SMB relay attack.
Warning: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module.

This exploit forces the IIS process inetinfo.exe to throw an unhandled exception. IIS' behavior depends on the operating system version, its configuration and the system-wide debugger specified in the registry.
By default under Windows 2000 Advanced Server 2000 the server will automatically restart. Under Windows 2000 Professional a message box will pop up in the console and the server will not be restarted until a user presses [OK].
Microsoft MDAC RDS.Dataspace ActiveX Control Exploit
The RDS.Dataspace ActiveX control includes a method that can create an instance of an ActiveX control that exists on the system. The ActiveX objects created in this manner will bypass the ActiveX security model. In particular, the "safe for scripting" and killbit options are ignored. Note that in default configurations of Internet Explorer, the RDS.Dataspace ActiveX control cannot be loaded in the Internet Zone.
