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 in the AWT library in Sun Java JRE when a specially crafted parameter is passed to the setDiffICM function.
Microsoft Windows Web Services on Devices Memory Corruption DoS (MS09-063)
The vulnerability is caused due to a WSD message with a long header value, this can lead to memory corruption within the process hosting WSDApi.dll. This can cause the service or application to crash. To be clear, the vulnerability is in the Windows module used to interact with devices that support Web Services on Devices, and does not affect the devices themselves. 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.
Free Download Manager Control Server Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
A boundary error in the Remote Control Server when processing Authorization headers in HTTP requests can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an HTTP request containing an overly long Authorization header.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on vulnerable installations of Oracle Secure Backup. User interaction is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists in the logic used to authenticate a user to the administration server running on port 443. The script login.php does not properly sanitize the 'username' variable before using it in a database query. A specially crafted 'username' allows unauthorized attackers to log in with full administrative capabilities.
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. This update adds support for Office 2003 SP0.
FreeBSD is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Microsoft 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. This update add support for Office XP and Windows Vista.
Sami FTP Server Authentication Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the authentication process. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending an overly long, specially-crafted password to the affected server and waiting for the administrator of Sami FTP Server to set focus on the GUI of the program in order to deploy an agent.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the parsing of .SFS files, this can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a .SFS file with an overly long file string.
