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.

HP OpenView NNM getnnmdata Hostname CGI Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the getnnmdata.exe CGI application, a component of HP OpenView Network Node Manager, by sending an HTTP request with an invalid value for the Hostname parameter.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error with the handling of PORT commands. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted command passed to the affected server.
This update fix the Connect to connection method for some virtual machines.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the WireShark LWRES dissector by sending a specially crafted LWRES packet. This update adds support for more WireShark versions.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Oracle Database Server. The vulnerability is triggered when the server processes a long string inside the AUTH_SESSKEY property resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
Eval injection vulnerability in reserve.php in phpScheduleIt 1.2.10 and earlier, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the start_date parameter.
This module creates a large number of connections to the Apache server that are left opened preventing it from accepting legitimate requests.
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.
Advantech WebAccess SCADA lack of proper validation of user supplied input may allow an attacker to cause the overflow of a buffer overflow and executes remote code.
The specific flaw exists within the dbman 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. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of SYSTEM.
Easy File Sharing Web Server POST UserID Cookie Buffer Overflow Exploit
Stack-based buffer overflow in Easy File Sharing (EFS) Web Server 7.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious login request to forum.ghp
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the Agent Browser in VERITAS Backup Exec 7.3, 8.x before 8.60.3878 Hotfix 68, and 9.x before 9.1.4691 Hotfix 40, to install an agent on the target box.
This update improves reliability for 8.x versions.
Disk Sorter Enterprise Login Buffer Overflow Exploit
Disk Savvy server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling a crafted GET request, this can trigger an overflow in a finite-sized internal memory buffer, and install an agent with SYSTEM privileges.
Sun Java Web Start JNLP Stack Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the javaws.exe program and deploys an agent when successful. The exploit triggers a vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote machine.
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup Discovery Service exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in BrightStor ARCserve/Enterprise Backup, which can be leveraged by an attacker to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the Discovery Service when processing received network traffic. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending an overly large TCP data stream to port 41523.
This module sends a series of UDP packets containing malformed IAX2 requests that will crash vulnerable listening IAX clients. If a broadcast IP address is specified, an entire subnetwork can be attacked in a single run.
The MS-RPC functionality in smbd in Samba 3.0.0 through 3.0.25rc3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters involving the SamrChangePassword function, when the "username map script" smb.conf option is enabled.
Microsoft Windows Telnet Server ProcessDataReceivedOnSocket DoS (MS15-002)
A stack-based buffer overflow in the ProcessDataReceivedOnSocket function in the Microsoft Telnet Server Helper (tlntsess.exe) can be used by remote unauthenticated attackers to render the Telnet server unresponsive.
This update includes a module exploiting a vulnerability found in Bash. When using PureFTPd in conjuntion with the vulnerable Bash version for user authentication, a Core Impact agent is installed.
