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 buffer overflow vulnerability during the processing of TFTP Read/Write request packet types and cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet with an overly long mode field.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability during the processing of requested resources to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by requesting a resource with an overly long name.
Opera is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer.
AT TFTP Server Long Filename Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error during the processing of TFTP Read/Write request packet types. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet with an overly long filename field.
This module allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing the Mercury Mail Transport System. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Mercury/32 PH Server Module (mercuryh.dll). This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly bounds check user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed size memory buffer. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
Microsoft Internet Explorer XML Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow in Internet Explorer 7 when handling malformed XML data. 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.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of .RAP files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into decoding a specially crafted .RAP file.
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the SNMPc Network Manager by sending a specially crafted Trap packet with a long Community String to the UDP port 164 and installs an agent if successful.
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.
BigAnt IM Server HTTP GET Request Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the AntServer Module (AntServer.exe), this can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted, overly long HTTP GET request to default port 6080/TCP.
Easy File Sharing FTP Server PASS Buffer Overflow Exploit
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.
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
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of .TORRENT files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking the user into opening a .TORRENT file containing an overly long Created By field.
MSRPC Server Service Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS08-067) Update 2
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows Server service sending a specially crafted RPC request. This update adds support for Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition sp2 with DEP enabled.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.1.0 and earlier on systems with Internet Explorer 7 installed. This update adds support for WEB SERVER.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of PRIVMSG IRC messages. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into connecting to a malicious IRC server.
VLC Media Player TY File Stack Based Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in VideoLan Media Player (VLC). Stack-based buffer overflow in the parse_master function in the Ty demux plugin (modules/demux/ty.c) in VLC Media Player 0.9.0 through 0.9.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a TiVo TY media file with a header containing a crafted size value. This update improves exploit reliability.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when parsing format strings containing a floating point specifier in the util.printf() JavaScript function. This update improves exploit reliability and fixes a cookie handling bug.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the parsing of .CUE files, this can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a .CUE file with an overly long file string.
VLC Media Player TY File Stack Based Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in VideoLan Media Player (VLC). Stack-based buffer overflow in the parse_master function in the Ty demux plugin (modules/demux/ty.c) in VLC Media Player 0.9.0 through 0.9.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a TiVo TY media file with a header containing a crafted size value.
