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.

Product Name
Autodesk 3D Studio Max Embedded Maxscript Exploit
Autodesk 3D Studio Max allows users to bind script to application callbacks. This functionality could be exploited by an attacker by making a victim open a seemingly innocuous .MAX file with malicious script embedded.
Photo DVD Maker contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Photo DVD Maker when handling .PDM files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .PDM file.
Chasys Media Player Playlist Buffer Overflow Exploit
Chasys Media Player contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Chasys Media Player when handling .M3U or .PLS files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .M3U or .PLS file.
VLC Media Player RealText Processing Stack Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in VideoLan Media Player (VLC). A stack-based buffer overflow in the ParseRealText function in the Subtitle demux plugin (modules\demux\subtitle.c) in VLC Media Player 0.9.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a realtext RT media file with a header containing a crafted size value.
BulletProof FTP Client contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in BulletProof FTP Client when handling .BPS files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .BPS file.
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.
Exploits / Authentication Weakness / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Wordpress Weak Authentication Exploit
An attacker, able to register a specially crafted username on a Wordpress 2.5 installation, will also be able to generate authentication cookies for other chosen accounts. This vulnerability exists because it is possible to modify authentication cookies without invalidating the cryptographic integrity protection. The proper way to exploit this vulnerability is
to use a Wordpress account which its username starts with the word
"admin", for example "admin99". This exploit will not be shown on WebApps reports.
Magento eCommerce Web Sites Deserialization Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module uses an unauthenticated deserialization vulnerability in Magento eCommerce Web Sites to perform an arbitrary write file to gain arbitrary PHP code execution on the affected system.

Apache CouchDB Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
Apache CouchDB contains an Authentication Bypass vulnerability and a OS Command Injection vulnerability, which allows attackers to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system.
Exploits / Authentication Weakness / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Wordpress Password Reset Exploit
A weakness has been reported in WordPress which can be exploited to bypass certain security restrictions. The weakness is due to a bug within the password reset functionality when verifying the secret key. This can be exploited to reset the password of the first user without a key in the database (usually administrator) without providing the correct secret key.
A vulnerability has been reported in MyBB, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks. Input passed via the "birthdayprivacy" parameter to inc/datahandlers/user.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. Successful exploitation requires a valid user account. The vulnerability is reported in MyBB 1.4.x versions prior to 1.4.7.
Cisco Data Center Network Manager HostEnclHandler getVmHostData SQL Injection Vulnerability Exploit
This module uses an authentication bypass and a SQL injection vulnerability in order to upload and execute a JSP file in the Wildfly virtual file system webapps directory.
This module exploits an authentication vulnerability in OpenSite 2.1. The function init in origin/libs/user.php checks for a matching origin_hash cookie. However, this cookie can be bruteforced in at most 2^32 tries for a known username. Actually, the number of attempts could be significantly reduced knowing that we do not have to check for time in the future, and long past. This works for OpenSite 2.1 and below.
