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.

Safari File Policy Exploit
A policy issue existed in Apple Safari before 5.1 when handling of file:// URLs.
This module exploits two vulnerabilities in HP SiteScope to gain remote code execution. The first vulnerability is an authentication bypass in the getSiteScopeConfiguration operation available through the APISiteScopeImpl AXIS service to grab the administrator credentials from the server running HP SiteScope. The second vulnerability is a directory traversal in the UploadFileHandler url that allows to upload files to the server into a directory that allows for scripting.
MSRPC Server Service Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS08-067) Update 6
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows Server service by sending a specially crafted RPC request. This update adds support for Windows XP sp0 and sp1.
HP Network Node Manager I ovopi Option -L Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in ovopi.dll which listens by default on a UDP port 696. When parsing option -L, the process blindly copies user supplied data into a fixed-length buffer allowing for an arbitrary write to occur.
Lenovo Vantage HardwareScanPlugin Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability Exploit
The LenovoDiagnosticsDriver.sys driver in the HardwareScanPlugin of Lenovo Vantage before 1.3.0.5 allow local non-privileged users (including low-integrity level processes) to read and write to arbitrary physical memory locations, and consequently gain NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges, via a function call such as MmMapIoSpace.
Cisco WebEx Player is prone to a stack-based buffer overflow when handling specially crafted .WRF files. This module exploits that vulnerability in order to deploy an agent.
Fortra (formerly, HelpSystems) GoAnywhere MFT suffers from a pre-authentication command injection vulnerability in the License Response Servlet due to deserializing an arbitrary attacker-controlled object. This issue was patched in version 7.1.2.
This module exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability in the tmtdi.sys driver of Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security and OfficeScan products. The vulnerable driver trusts a dword passed from user mode via IOCTL 0x220404, and interprets it as a function pointer without performing validations. This vulnerability allows unprivileged local users to execute code with SYSTEM privileges.
This update adds support for the Trend Micro OfficeScan product, as well as support for Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 platforms.
ACDSee Canvas is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named wintab32.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .CVI file.
ProShow Producer is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named kdclib32.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .PSH file.
Nero CoverDesigner is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named ThreadRegister.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .CDC file.
Citrix ADC and Gateway ns_aaa_gwtest_get_event_and_target_names Remote Code Execution Exploit
A stack buffer overflow in ns_aaa_gwtest_get_event_and_target_names function of nsppe process allows unauthenticated attacker to execute system commands as root via specially crafted HTTP GET request.
Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security TMTDI.SYS Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability in Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security tmtdi.sys driver. The vulnerable driver trusts a dword passed from user mode via IOCTL 0x220404, and interprets it as a function pointer without performing validations. This vulnerability allows unprivileged local users to execute code with SYSTEM privileges.
Linux Kernel RDS Protocol Privilege Escalation Exploit
The Linux kernel is prone to a privilege escalation vulnerability that can be exploited by local unprivileged users to gain root access, because
the RDS protocol does not properly check that the base address of a user-provided iovec struct points to a valid userspace address before using the __copy_to_user_inatomic() function to copy the data. By providing a kernel address as an iovec base and issuing a recvmsg() style socket call, a local user could write arbitrary data into kernel memory, thus escalating privileges to root.
A vulnerability exists in the ManagementAgentServer.putFile XMLRPC call exposed by the as_agent.exe service, which allows for uploading arbitrary files under the server root.
This module abuses the auto deploy feature in the JBoss as_ste.exe instance in order to achieve remote code execution. Abused services listen on a single machine deployment, and also in the backend role in a multiple machine deployment.
Microsoft Windows MQAC.sys Arbitrary Write Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The MQ Access Control Driver (mqac.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 (0x1965020F) to the vulnerable driver.
Linux Kernel n_tty_write Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Linux Kernel. The n_tty_write function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly manage tty driver access in the "LECHO & !OPOST" case, which allows local attackers to escalate privileges triggering a race condition involving read and write operations with long strings.
Windows Error Reporting Local Privilege Escalation Exploit BOF
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly impose security restrictions in Windows Error Reporting Service, which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation and allows a local user (non included in Administrator group) to escalate privileges to NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM.
