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.

RealPlayer SMIL wallclock Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability caused due to a boundary error in the wallclock functionality in SmilTimeValue::parseWallClockValue() when handling time formats. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the database service (fbserver.exe) of the FireBird SQL application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted "create" request to port 3050/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the Sourcefire Snort DCE/RPC preprocessor. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Snort process.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Alert Service (aolnsrvr.exe) component of LANDesk Management Suite 8.7 and installs an agent if successful. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted packet to port UDP/65535.
Netmechanica NetDecision HTTP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
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. This version add CVE.
Schneider Electric VAMPSET ASCII Argument Heap Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability in VAMPSET is caused by opening crafted VAMPSET disturbance recording files with log ASCII argument. This produce a heap overflow vulnerability when this info is copied to a fixed sized buffer in the heap.
POODLE TLS1.x to SSLv3 Downgrading Vulnerability Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Internet Explorer 10/11 by downgrading the encryption from TLS 1.x to SSLv3. After that, part of the encrypted text plain will be decrypted.
Schneider Electric ProClima MetaDraw ObjLinks Property Exploit
The MetaDraw ActiveX control's ObjLinks property can be assigned an attacker-supplied memory address and the control will redirect execution flow to this given memory address. This update add some Av Evasion capabilities
Bash Environment Variables Remote Code Execution Exploit for SSH
A vulnerability in GNU Bash when processing trailing strings after function definitions in the values of environment variables allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted environment. This vulnerability can be leveraged to bypass restricted SSH access (i.e.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of .RAP files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into decoding a specially crafted .RAP file. This update modifies the current NOCVE for the module and adds support for the new Impact 9 Client Side features.

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.
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.
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.
PDFCool Studio Suite is prone to a security vulnerability when processing PDF files. This vulnerability could be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target machine by enticing users to open a specially crafted PDF file.
HP Rational Quality Manager Backdoor Account Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in HP Rational Quality Manager by using an undocumented user account to upload an arbitrary file.
