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.

OpenOffice OLE DocumentSummaryInformation Heap Overflow Exploit
A security vulnerability with the way OpenOffice.org processes OLE files may allow a remote unprivileged user who provides an OpenOffice.org document that is opened by a local user to execute arbitrary commands on the system with the privileges of the user running OpenOffice.org. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Shared Trace Service (ovtrcsvc.exe) of the HP OpenView application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet to port 5053/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in GDI in Microsoft Windows, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted EMF image file.
This update adds support for Windows XP Professional SP0 and Windows XP Professional SP1
The specific flaw exists within the dbman.exe service, which listens on TCP port 2810 by default. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the UFileUploaderD.dll control included in the HTTP File Upload ActiveX Control. The exploit is triggered when the AddFile() method processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. 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.
PUBCONV.DLL in Microsoft Office Publisher 2007 does not properly clear memory when transferring data from disk to memory, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed .pub page via a certain negative value, which bypasses a sanitization procedure that initializes critical pointers to NULL, aka the "Publisher Invalid Memory Reference Vulnerability".
This vulnerability revolves around an unchecked integer underflow of the size of a record of type 0x3c, producing a heap overflow, within a Workbook stream in an XLS file handled by Ichitaro.
Schneider Electric SoMachine HVAC AxEditGrid ActiveX Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the SetDataIntf method of the AxEditGrid control. The control has an untrusted pointer dereference vulnerability because it blindly calls an attacker-supplied memory address.
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.
The vulnerability resides in parsing crafted Microsoft PowerPoint documents and produces a buffer overflow in the stack, leading to a privilege escalation to System.
Solarwinds DameWare Mini Remote Control Server Privilege Escalation Exploit
A certain message parsing function inside the Dameware Mini Remote Control service does not properly validate the input size of an incoming string before passing it to wsprintfw().
Mimikatz module enhancement for non-ASCII characters.

Windows Search Indexer get_RootURL Race Condition Privilege Escalation Exploit
A race condition exists in Windows Search Indexer, when the put_RootURL function wrote a user-controlled data in the memory of CSearchRoot+0x14.AT the same time, the get_RootURL function read the data located in the memory of CSearchRoot+0x14.
The vulnerability was caused by the access to a shared variable between two different methods of the same instance .
A vulnerability in the installer component of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows could allow an authenticated local attacker to copy user-supplied files to system level directories with system level privileges. The vulnerability is due to the incorrect handling of directory paths. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious file and copying the file to a system directory. An exploit could allow the attacker to copy malicious files to arbitrary locations with system level privileges.
Microsoft SharePoint Server DataSet Deserialization Remote OS Command Injection Exploit (CVE-2020-1147)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in .NET Framework, Microsoft SharePoint, and Visual Studio when the software fails to check the source markup of XML file input. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the process responsible for deserialization of the XML content.

Microsoft SharePoint Server CreateChildControls Server Side Include Vulnerability Exploit (CVE-2020-16952)
A server-side include in Microsoft SharePoint via CreateChildControls in DataFormWebPart class allows an authenticated user to leak the web.config file and forge a malicious ViewState with the extracted validation key.
The user credentials requires user with page creation privileges, a standard permission.
