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.

Ston3d Player Command Injection Exploit
This module exploits a remote command injection vulnerability in Ston3DWebPlayer and Ston3DStandalonePlayer via an specially crafted STK file.
Rosoft Media Player M3U Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
Rosoft Media Player is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input of M3U files. This update adds support till the last version of the program.(4.2.1 and 4.3.1)
The POP Peeper client is vulnerable to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability is exploitable as a client side attack. A vulnerable POP Peeper user must connect to a server created by IMPACT Pro and attempt to retrieve mail in order for IMPACT Pro to exploit the vulnerable agent and deploy and agent on the users machine.
The MS-RPC functionality in smbd in Samba 3.0.0 through 3.0.25rc3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters involving the SamrChangePassword function, when the "username map script" smb.conf option is enabled.
Cytel StatXact Cytel Studio Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Cytel StatXact. The vulnerability is caused due to boundary error within the processing of .CY3 project files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted .CY3 file is opened.
Effective File Search is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named ztvunrar36.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .EFS file.

Adobe Flash Player AS2 NetConnection Type Confusion Exploit
This module exploits a Type Confusion vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. The specific flaw exist in the ActionScript 2 NetConnection class. When a NetConnection method is called with a parameter that is a native function object, its native data can be specified as a Number by the caller, but be interpreted as a pointer. This allows to overwrite different objects like vectors and finally accomplish remote code execution.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the VMware printer virtual device from the guest OS and install an agent in the host computer. WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released versionin 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.
IBM Lotus Domino BMP parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
IBM Domino is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking when parsing BMP images. By sending a specially-crafted bitmap image, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or make the application crash. This version adds support for several Windows versions.
Microsoft Windows AFD AfdConnect Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS11-046) Update
The Ancillary Function Driver (AFD.sys) present in Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to an arbitrary pointer overwrite. This module allows a local unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by sending a specially crafted IOCTL to the vulnerable driver. This update adds support for Windows 2003.
Adobe Acrobat Pro AFParseDate Javascript API Restrictions Bypass Exploit
Certain Javascript APIs in Adobe Acrobat Pro can only be executed in a privileged context. By adding specially crafted Javascript code to a PDF file it's possible to bypass security restrictions and invoke privileged Javascript APIs, allowing for arbitrary code execution.
The specific flaw exists within the 'factory' object's loadExtensionFactory method. The issue lies in a failure to validate the size of an attacker-supplied input before copying it into a fixed-size buffer on the stack. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process. This version add x86_64 support.
Microsoft Windows OpenType Font Driver Vulnerability Exploit (MS15-078) Update 3
This module exploits a vulnerability in "atmfd.dll" Windows driver by loading a crafted OTF font. This update adds support to "Low Integrity Level" bypass for "Windows 8.1" 32 bits by using a kernel memory leak (CVE-2015-2433).
Microsoft Windows SMB Pathname Overflow DoS (MS10-012) Update
This update adds shared folders detection. This module exploits a vulnerability on srv.sys when it executes a rename command into shared folder using a long pathname.
Microsoft Windows Remote Kernel Infinite Loop DoS Update
This module sends a malformed NetBIOS packet which causes the execution of an infinite loop in the target system. This update adds support to Microsoft Windows 2008 and more Microsoft Windows 7 versions. This update adds support to Microsoft Windows as source agent spoofing a network address.
IBM Lotus Domino IMAP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in a Lotus Domino IMAP Server and installs an agent if successful. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely and it does not require user authentication. This update adds support for Lotus Domino for windows versions 6.5, 7.0.1, 7.0.1FP1, and 7.0.2.

A logical error in sudo when the env_reset option is disabled allows local attackers to define environment variables that were supposed to be blacklisted by sudo. This can be exploited by a local unprivileged attacker to gain root privileges by manipulating the environment of a command that the user is legitimately allowed to run with sudo.
This module exploits a type confusion vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. This vulnerability has been found exploited in-the-wild during December 2013. This update improves module documentation, exploit code and adds more vulnerable Adobe Flash Player versions.
