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.

MS SMB 2.0 Negociate Protocol Request Remote BSOD Exploit Update
This update improves the exploit reliability. 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.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the mDNSResponder service running on certain versions of Apple Mac OS X. The vulnerability is exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted UPnP Internet Gateway Device (IGD) packet and installing an agent.
Jenkins is prone to a remote vulnerability due to deserialization of untrusted inputs, allowing attackers to instantiate arbitrary Java objects leading to remote code execution. There are several API endpoints that allow low-privilege users to POST XML files that then get deserialized by Jenkins. Maliciously crafted XML files sent to these API endpoints could result in arbitrary code execution. This update adds support for HTTPS and IPv6. It also allows to change the application root path.
The specific flaw exists within the edit_lf_process resource of the AccuRev Reprise License Manager service. The issue lies in the ability to write arbitrary files with controlled data. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of SYSTEM. This update introduces a number of improvements related to the architecture of the agent installed and scenarios where multiple targets are tested. This update adds reliability.

Impact
Schneider Electric OFS Client Buffer Overflow Exploit
When a crafted configuration file is parsed by the client, it may cause a buffer overflow allowing the configuration file execute code on the target PC.
A unrestricted file upload vulnerability exists in includes/inline_image_upload.php within AutoSec Tools V-CMS 1.0. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with an executable extension and then accessing it via a direct request to the file in temp.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Xion when handling .M3U files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .M3U file.

Microsoft Office Groove imm DLL Hijacking Exploit
Microsoft Office Groove is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of imm.dll if this dll is located in the same folder than .GRP file.
Microsoft Windows OpenType Font Validation DoS (MS10-078)
This module exploits a vulnerability in the way that the Windows OpenType Font (OTF) format driver improperly parses specially crafted OpenType fonts. 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.
Linux Kernel udp_sendmsg Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the udp_sendmsg function in the UDP implementation in net/ipv4/udp.c and net/ipv6/udp.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 allowing local users to gain privileges via vectors involving the MSG_MORE flag and a UDP socket.
Microsoft Windows Movie Maker String Parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS10-050)
Microsoft Windows Movie Maker is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors when parsing strings in imported project files (.MSWMM). 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 when processing archives containing an entry with an overly long name. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted .ZIP file.
IBM Lotus Domino If-Modified-Since Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the nHTTP.exe application, a component of Lotus Domino Server, by sending an HTTP request with an invalid value for the If-Modified-Since parameter.
This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability found in UnrealIRCd by using an unauthorized backdoor. 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.
RealNetworks Helix Server AgentX Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in AgentX++, as distributed with Helix Server, by sending multiple blocks of data to the port 705/TCP.
Microsoft Windows Media Services Remote Exploit (MS10-025) Update
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the Microsoft Windows Media Services by sending a specially crafted packet to the 1755/TCP port. This module also works against targets with the original MS10-025 update installed.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing RemoteExec Computers List files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a ".rec" file having an overly long line.
