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 shuts down the TYPSoft FTP Server because it fails to properly handle user-supplied malformed packets using for login the Anonymous user provided by default for the program
Netmechanica NetDecision HTTP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit
A buffer overflow in NetDecision's HTTP service is exploited when a long URL is managed by the HTTP Server's active window. For successfull exploitation, the victim need to have the HttpSvr's window open.
CA Total Defense UNCWS Web Service exportReport Remote Code Execution Exploit
The UNCWS Web Service component of CA Total Defense listens for SOAP requests. The exportReport method makes use of the uncsp_GenerateReports_Dashboard stored procedure, which is vulnerable to SQL Injection. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable machine with SYSTEM privileges.

Microsoft Word MSCOMCTL TabStrip Control Use-after-free Exploit(MS12-060) Update
A Memory Corruption in Microsoft Word is caused due to an error within the TabStrip ActiveX control (MSCOMCTL.OCX) object, embedded in a RTF crafted file. This update adds support for Impact 12.5.
This module checks for vulnerabilities in UPnP-enabled systems. It sends a SSDP "M-SEARCH" packet to the multicast group (239.255.255.250) and checks for known banners corresponding to vulnerable UPnP SDK versions.
Apple Quicktime Invalid Atom Length Buffer Overflow Exploit
Buffer Overflow when Quicktime fails to properly handle the data length for certain atoms such as 'rdrf' or 'dref' in the Alis record by loading a specially crafted .MOV file.
The Import Server component of Oracle WebCenter Capture is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability. This could allow command execution when a user loads a web page which calls the SetAnnotationFont method of the BlackIceDevMode.ocx ActiveX control with a overly long string argument.
This module exploits an error in the PAM authentication code and installs an agent into the target host. This update improves the reliability of the exploit.
A Buffer overflow against the com_print_typeinfo function in PHP running on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted arguments that trigger incorrect handling of COM object VARIANT types.
Microsoft Windows NFS NULL Dereference DoS (MS13-014)
This modules exploits a Windows kernel vulnerability in "nfssvr.sys" by sending a NFS file renaming crafted request to the target. 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 in the Foxit Reader Plugin npFoxitReaderPlugin that is exposed when loading PDF files from remote hosts with overly long query strings within the URL.
An AccessControlContext attribute in the java.beans.Statement class of Oracle Java can be overwritten by unprivileged applets by using specially crafted Java Beans Expressions and Statements, even when the AccessControlContext attribute is declared as final. This flaw allows an unprivileged Java applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user. WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module.
