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.

Product Name
TFTPServer SP Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the handling of Error Packet for overwrite all the .bss section and some portion of the .idata section. This module add the service specification tag.
osCommerce Online Merchant 2.2 RC2a is vulnerable to an Arbitrary File Upload without the need to be authenticated. This leads to arbitrary PHP code execution in the context of the webserver. This module tries to install a RFI agent if the Web Application is vulnerable. It will fail if the webserver is not allowed to write on the document root of the vulnerable web application.
Destiny Media Player Playlist Buffer Overflow Exploit
Destiny Media Player contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Destiny Media Player when handling .LST files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .LST file.

Oracle Secure Backup Command Injection Exploit
This module exploits a command injection error in the Oracle Secure Backup Administration server.
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.
Microsoft Works wkimgsrv.dll Memory Corruption Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the wkimgsrv.dll control shipped with Microsoft Works and many Microsoft Office Suites. The exploit is triggered when the WksPictureInterface() method processes a number as argument resulting in a memory corruption. The WksPictureInterface(), in certain circumstances, points to an invalid memory address that can be controlled to gain code execution.
HP OpenView Ovalarmsrv Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the ovalarmsrv module of the HP OpenView Network NodeManager application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet to port 2954/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful. This module works disabling DEP on Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition sp2 in the context of the vulnerable application.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Symantec BackupExec Calendar Control (PVCalendar.ocx). When the _DOWText0 property processes a long string argument, a stack based buffer overflow occurs allowing execution of arbitrary code.
Now SMS MMS Gateway Web Authorization Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing the web interface of Now SMS MMS Gateway.
Novell Client for Netware is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the nwspool.dll that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows NAT Helper Component (ipnathlp.dll) when Internet Connection Sharing is enabled, sending a specially crafted DNS query.
The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors in wordperfect within the processing of WPD files. Wordperfect X3 fails to check the length of the printer selection (.PRS) filename stored inside Wordperfect documents, allowing an attacker to cause a stack overflow in order to execute arbitrary code.
SIDVault LDAP Server Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the LDAP service (sidvault.exe) of the SIDVault LDAP application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet to port 389/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the DoWebMenuAction function in the IncrediMail IMMenuShellExt ActiveX control (ImShExt.dll) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
Adobe Reader and Acrobat PDF subroutine pointer exploit update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 7.0.8 and earlier, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute code via a crafted PDF file that triggers memory corruption and overwrites a subroutine pointer during rendering. This update adds Windows Vista support.
