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.

MSRPC CA ARCserve Backup Command Injection Exploit
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup is prone to a command injection vulnerability on the RPC interface that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer.
MS Word Record Parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS09-027) Update
Microsoft Word is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
Bopup Communications Server Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted TCP packet sent to port 19810.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The sub_resource_create function of class M_devices in m_devices.php of Open-AudIT 3.2.2 allows remote authenticated users to upload arbitrary PHP files, allowing the execution of arbitrary php code in the system.
smtp_mailaddr in smtp_session.c in OpenSMTPD 6.6, as used in OpenBSD 6.6 and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root via a crafted SMTP session, as demonstrated by shell metacharacters in a MAIL FROM field. This affects the "uncommented" default configuration. The issue exists because of an incorrect return value upon failure of input validation.
MSRPC Server Service Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS08-067) Update 4
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows Server service by sending a specially crafted RPC request. This update adds reliability to all supported platforms.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the parsing of .SFS files, this can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a .SFS file with an overly long file string.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of a .ASX file with a long URI in the ref href tag. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .ASX file.
AtomixMP3 contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in AtomixMP3 when handling .M3U files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .M3U file.
This module runs a malicious web server on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to it.
MSRPC Server Service Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS08-067)
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Microsoft Server service sending a specially crafted RPC request. 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.
MiniShare HTTP GET Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the handling of HTTP "GET" requests. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted overly long request with a pathname larger than 1787 bytes.
A vulnerability in the update service of Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for Windows could allow an authenticated remote attacker, to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM user privileges.
Microsoft Windows AFD Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS08-066) Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Windows Ancillary function driver when the 0x1203F IOCTL in afd.sys is invoked with a specially crafted parameter. The IOCTL 0x1203F handler in the afd.sys function driver allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters.
The Widget Connector macro in Atlassian Confluence Server allows remote attackers to achieve path traversal and remote code execution via server-side template injection.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of DPB files. When parsing the wKPFString attribute, the process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data.
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Internet Explorer. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could take control of an affected system.
A Buffer Overflow exists in Zip-n-Go 4.9 when parsing .ZIP files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .ZIP files.
Tp-link EAP Controller does not handle privilege management correctly so a non privileged user can execute privileged actions. This module will try to change the device's settings and enable ssh in order to take control of the managed Access Points.
VLC is able to handle the subtitles automatically in a very simple way,it just checks the presence of SSA files with the same name of the loaded video and a possible subtitles folder. The functions which handle the MicroDVD, SSA and VPlayer subtitle formats are vulnerable to some stack based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities which can allow an attacker to execute malicious code. This exploit add support for VLC 0.86e version.
