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
MS SMB 2.0 Negociate Protocol Request Remote Exploit Update 2
This update uses two different methods to exploit the targets, and it also improves the exploited target stability when repairing the SMB service.
This module exploits a vulnerability on srv2.sys via a SMB 2 malformed packet.
NetBackup Java user-interface is affected by a remote format string vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious request that contains format specifiers. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent. This update adds support for Linux.
The server driver (srv.sys) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, Server 2003 SP1 and earlier, and XP SP2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted packet on an SMB PIPE that triggers a null dereference.
While investigating the Microsoft Server Service Mailslot heap overflow vulnerability reported in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-035 we discovered a second bug in the server service. This module exploits this vulnerability.
Oracle Application Testing Suite UploadServlet Servlet Remote Code Execution Exploit
A vulnerability exists in the UploadServlet servlet. By providing a filename header containing a directory traversal, an attacker can upload a file to an arbitrary location on the system.
This module abuses the auto deploy feature in the server in order to achieve remote code execution.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack Remote Exploit
This module exploits a remote memory corruption on IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack by sending a specially crafted sequence of packets to the affected application.
IBM Lotus Domino iCalendar Organizer Buffer Overflow Exploit
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the nRouter.exe component of IBM Lotus Domino when parsing the ORGANIZER field of an iCalendar invitation. This can be exploited by a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted e-mail to the Lotus Domino SMTP server.
nginx Encoded Directory Trasversal Denial of Service Exploit
nginx 0.8.36 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain encoded directory traversal sequences that trigger memory corruption, as demonstrated using the "%c0.%c0." sequence.
HP Storage Data Protector MSG_PROTOCOL Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the OmniInet.exe service included in the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector application by sending a malformed MSG_PROTOCOL packet.
This module allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing the Mercury Mail Transport System.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Mercury/32 PH Server Module (mercuryh.dll). This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly bounds check user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed size memory buffer. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command.
Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Protocol BlueKeep Use After Free Exploit Update
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Remote Desktop Services formerly known as Terminal Services when an unauthenticated attacker connects to the target system using RDP and sends specially crafted requests, aka 'Bluekeep'.In this update more supported versions were added.
NaviCOPA Web Server Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of HTTP GET requests. This may allow execution of arbitrary code by sending an overly long, specially crafted HTTP GET request to the server.
Oracle Database Server is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to poison the data handled by the remote 'TNS Listener' component of the application.
This module tries to verify if the vulnerability is present in the 'TNS Listener' component of the database server, without deploying an agent.
Debian OpenSSL Predictable Random Number Generation Exploit Update
This module exploits the random number generator in Debian's OpenSSL package being predictable. This vulnerability is used to generate SSH keys and to install an agent into the target host.
Now SMS MMS Gateway Web Authorization Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing the web interface of Now SMS MMS Gateway.
Lepide Auditor Suite createdb Web Console Database Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit
The application allows an attacker to specify a server to perform authentication. That server also allows to execute controlled SQL directly against the database.
This module abuses of the previous vulnerabilities in order execute an agent as SYSTEM.
Disk Sorter Enterprise 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.
CA BrightStor Tape Engine exploit for Windows Vista
We are pleased to announce the availability of the first CORE IMPACT exploit for Windows Vista along with initial support for Windows Vista as an exploit target. The first exploit we are releasing is an exploit for a vulnerability in CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup v11.5 (CVE-2007-0169). More exploits for Vista will follow as part of our exploit update service.
This update adds support for Windows Vista as a target for the exploit, and includes modifications to the Windows agent and accompanying payloads to run on all previously supported versions of Windows.
Cisco Prime Infrastructure Java Object Deserialization Remote Code Execution Exploit
Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2.0 through 2.2(2) and Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager (EPNM) 1.2 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted deserialized data in an HTTP POST request, aka Bug ID CSCuw03192.
JMS Object messages within Apache ActiveMQ depend on Java Serialization for marshaling/unmashaling of the message payload. This lead to execution of untrusted code when a specially crafted object is received.
This update introduces an exploit that will attempt to connect using the STOMP protocol and abuse the vulnerability to execute a Core Impact agent in the vulnerable system.
