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.

GNU Glibc ld.so ORIGIN Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
The GNU C library (GNU glibc) is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability. This module exploits the vulnerability to install an agent with root privileges. This update improves the module reliability.
Oracle VirtualBox Guest Additions Arbitrary Write Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The Oracle VirtualBox Guest Additions Driver (VBoxGuest.sys) present in Oracle VirtualBox 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 (0x22A040) to the vulnerable driver within the Windows Guest OS.
This module exploits a vulnerability in XBMC by sending a specially crafted, overly long HTTP GET request to the application's web server which causes a stack-based buffer overflow, allowing arbitrary code execution.

Microsoft WordPad Word97 Converter Stack Overflow Exploit (MS09-010)
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow vulnerability in WordPad when handling a specially crafted Word97 file. 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. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.
tiki-graph_formula.php in TikiWiki 1.9.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via PHP sequences in the f array parameter, which will be processed by the create_function.
Norman Security Suite Nprosec.sys Privilege Escalation Exploit
Norman Security Suite is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability that can be exploited by local, unprivileged users to gain SYSTEM privileges. The vulnerability occurs in the Nprosec.sys driver when handling IOCTL 0x00220210.

Microsoft WINS Input Validation Exploit (MS11-070)
This module exploits a vulnerability on Microsoft WINS service sending crafted UDP packets to the WINS-RPC local port.
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Document Conversions Exploit
Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the Document Conversions Launcher Service in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, when the Document Conversions Load Balancer Service is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SOAP request to TCP port 8082
IBM Lotus Domino BMP parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit Update 2
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 add encryption.
The AVG Administration Server is vulnerable to arbitrary configuration settings. Due to insufficient input validation, an attacker can use the StoreServerConfig command (command id 0x27) to set the value of the ClientLibraryName parameter to a UNC path. The provided value can be a path to a network share containing a malicious .dll file. This .dll file will be executed in the context of the AVG Administration Server service which runs as SYSTEM.
