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.

Golden FTP Server PASS Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability on installations of Golden FTP Server is due to a boundary error with the handling of passwords. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via the use of overly long, specially-crafted passwords passed to the affected server.
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer with a vulnerable StubbyUtil.InstallerDlg.1 ActiveX Control) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by sending a specially crafted HTML page which exploits the Real Networks Arcade Game's ActiveX control. ActiveX Control Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. Ref: http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/17149/

Adobe Flash Player SWF File Memory Corruption Exploit
Adobe Flash Player is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted .SWF file, which can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable machines by convincing an unsuspecting user to visit a malicious web site. This vulnerability has been found exploited in-the-wild during April 2011. 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.
Microsoft Office Excel RTD Data Record Processing Stack Overwrite Exploit (MS11-021) Update 2
The flaw exists within the methods used for RealTimeData Record Parsing. When handling a stTopic field that has a bit set specifying double byte characters in the following field the value of a global pointer is improperly calculated. This version adds Windows 7 support and updates the CVE number.
Oracle Java Web Start XXaltjvm Option Command Line Injection Exploit
Argument injection vulnerability in the URI handler in Java Deployment Toolkit allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the -J argument to javaws.exe, which is processed by the launch method.
HP Intelligent Management Center UAM sprintf Buffer Overflow Exploit
A stack buffer overflow exists in HP Intelligent Management Center's uam.exe service which listens on port UDP/1811. The vulnerability is due to lack of validation of a string passed to sprintf.

GSM SIM Utility SEH Buffer Overflow Exploit
GSM SIM Utility contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in GSM SIM Editor when handling misleading .sms files. When opening such files an error message is shown and then a buffer overflow occurs. This situation allows an attacker to overwrite an SEH Pointer and control the execution flow.
An error in the way that Java implements dynamic binding can be abused to overwrite public final fields. 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. This update adds the CVE number to the exploit.
This module exploits a heap overflow vulnerability in Samba Server by sending a crafted request packet via DCERPC call. This update adds support to Debian 5 (32 bits and 64 bits).
Oracle Java Font Handling Remote Code Execution Exploit
A specific flaw exists within the handling of CFF-based OpenType fonts. The issue lies in two operators that allow for reading and writing elements beyond the allocated buffers. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
BigAnt IM Server DDNF Username Buffer Overflow Exploit
BigAnt IM Server is vulnerable to a buffer-overflow within the AntDS.exe component when handling an overly long username.

Adobe Flash Player SWF Load Crafted Module Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player triggered when processing a SWF file and this load a crafted dll module. 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 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.
IBM Lotus Quickr qp2.cab ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
A buffer overflow in the ActiveX control qp2.cab in IBM Lotus Quickr for Domino allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the Attachment_Times method.
A missing boundary check in the TLS Heartbeat extension in OpenSSL can be abused by remote attackers to read up to 64 kb of memory from the server. This memory disclosure vulnerability can be used by remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive information from the affected server, including private keys and session cookies. This update adds features to the module, like the ability to read 64 kb of data from vulnerable services, reporting the results in the Module Output window, and saving the memory dumps to disk.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the Microsoft Color Management Module via a jpeg image with crafted ICC profile format tags and installs an agent.
Added support for NT and LM hashes as authentication mechanism. Added fragmentation support for /TCP and /SMB transports. Added fragmentation for DCERPC over any transport. This two different types of fragmentation can be combined or used independently.
The SSL protocol encrypts data by using CBC mode with chained initialization vectors, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain plaintext HTTP headers via a blockwise chosen-boundary attack on an HTTPS session. This module attacks the SSLv3 implementation in the Oracle Java Runtime Enviroment. The module is capable of obtaining encrypted cookies from browsers running the affected Java Runtimes.
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the streamprocess.exe service included in the Citrix Provisioning Services application by sending a malformed packet to the 6905/UDP port.
