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.

Exploits/Client Side
Impact
KingView KingMess Buffer Overflow Exploit
KingView is prone to a buffer-overflow exploit when the KingMess process handles specially crafted KVL files (log files).
Microsoft Visio Viewer DXF File Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS12-059)
Microsoft Visio Viewer is prone to a buffer-overflow when handling specially crafted DXF files. 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.
Symantec Web Gateway blocked_file.php Remote Code Execution Exploit
The spywall/blocked_file.php script of Symantec Web Gateway allows remote unauthenticated users to upload files with arbitrary extensions. This can be abused by attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code on vulnerable systems.
A missing boundary check in the TLS Heartbeat extension in OpenSSL can be abused by remote attackers to read up to 64 kb of memory from the server. This memory disclosure vulnerability can be used by remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive information from the affected server, including private keys and session cookies. 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.
This module exploits a createTextRange call on a checkbox object in Internet Explorer 6, which results in a dereference of an invalid table pointer. 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 logging function used by the Ultr@VNC server is affected by a limited buffer-overflow caused by two strcat calls which add a Windows error message to the output buffer causing the server to crash and stop responding to further connections.
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install a Level0 agent by exploiting a vulnerability in the "devenum.dll" COM object when instantiated in Internet Explorer via a specially crafted HTML tag (MS05-038).
Omni-NFS Enterprise FTP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This vulnerability is caused by a buffer overflow in Omni-NFS Enterprise FTP Server, due to its lack of checking of user-supplied data within FTP requests. This update add CVE.
A buffer overflow in libtelnet/encrypt.c in Inetutils and Heimdal implementations of telnetd allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with root permissions via a long encryption key. This update adds support for Debian and newer FreeBSD platforms.
phpMyAdmin is vulnerable to a remote code execution due the use of the unserialize method on user supplied data. This data is written in the config file and is accessible from the internet by default. This update adds support for Solaris and Mac OS X.
Apple QuickTime Style Elements TeXML Stack Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
Buffer Overflow when handling an attribute of style elements can be exploited when Quick Player handles a specially crafted TeXML file. This update corrects CVE.
HP Lifecycle Management XGO ActiveX SetShapeNodeType Type Method Exploit
Type Confusion vulnerability in XGO.ocx ActiveX control in HP Lifecycle Management in the method SetShapeNodeType allowing user-specified memory to be used as an object.
Windows
Exploits/Client Side
Impact
ImgBurn dwmapi DLL Hijacking Exploit
ImgBurn is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of dwmapi.dll if this dll is located in the same folder as a .CUE file.
Microsoft Windows SystemDefaultEUDCFont Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
This module exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability in Microsoft Windows by setting a specially crafted SystemDefaultEUDCFont value in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\EUDC Registry key, and then calling EnableEUDC() function in GDI32 library. It will enable local unprivileged users to gain SYSTEM privileges. This update adds support for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
PKZIP is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named dwmapi.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .ZIPX file.

Adobe Device Central CS5 dwmapi DLL Hijacking Exploit
Adobe Device Central CS5 is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of dwmapi.dll if this dll is located in the same folder than .ADCP file.

Impact
Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler Service Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
This module exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler Service. This vulnerability is currently exploited by the Stuxnet malware. This update adds support for Windows 7 and Windows 2008 x64.
Foxit Reader Title Parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit
Foxit Reader is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing a user to open a malicious PDF file containing an overly long title.
The specific flaw exists within the DVC.DvcCtrl ActiveX Control in dvs.ocx. The control does not check the length of an attacker-supplied string in the GetColor method before copying it into a fixed length buffer on the stack. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser process.
A remote file inclusion vulnerability is present in Mambo. /includes/Cache/Lite/Output.php doesn't sanitize the $mosConfig_absolute_path before using it in an include.
RainbowPlayer is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.
