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.

Motorola Timbuktu Pro PlughNTCommand Stack Based Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow in Motorola Timbuktu Pro by sending a long malformed string over the plughNTCommand named pipe.
VLC Media Player RealText Processing Stack Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in VideoLan Media Player (VLC). A stack-based buffer overflow in the ParseRealText function in the Subtitle demux plugin (modules\demux\subtitle.c) in VLC Media Player 0.9.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a realtext RT media file with a header containing a crafted size value.
The specific flaw exists within qcpfformat.dll, which is responsible for parsing QCP media files. The process creates a static 256 byte allocation on the heap and trusts a user-supplied counter from the file within a memory copy loop.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Do-more Designer.

IBM Tivoli Endpoint lcfd opts Argument Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in IBM Tivoli Endpoint by sending a specially crafted HTTP request.
The specific flaw exists within the lcfd.exe process which listens by default on TCP port 9495.
To reach this page remotely authentication is required. However, by abusing a built-in account an attacker can access the restricted pages. While parsing requests to one of these, the process blindly copies the contents of a POST variable to a 256 byte stack buffer.
Blue Coat Authentication and Authorization Agent Buffer Overflow Exploit
Blue Coat BCAAA is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks. This exploit bypasses DEP protection by using ROP techniques.
The Administration Console of Oracle GlassFish Server is prone to an authentication bypass vulnerability, which can be achieved by performing HTTP TRACE requests. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this in order to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server.
A vulnerability found on Siemens FactoryLink vulnerability occurs when CSService.exe processes a CSMSG_ListFiles_REQ message, causing a stack overflow.
