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.

Rosoft Media Player M3U Stack-Based Buffer Overflow Exploit
Rosoft Media Player is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input of M3U files.
Microsoft Jet Database Engine Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Jet Database (msjet40.dll) through a Microsoft Word document. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in msjet40.dll within the processing of MDB files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened.
pfSense system groupmanager Command Execution Exploit
This module exploits a post authentication vulnerability in pfSense by abusing the system_groupmanager.php page which allows users to get Code Execution.

HP Linux Imaging and Printing exploit for Impact 7.5
A vulnerability has been identified in HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (HPLIP), which could be exploited by local attackers to obtain elevated privileges. This issue is caused by input validation errors in the hpssd daemon that does not validate user-supplied data before being passed to a popen3() call, which could be exploited by malicious users to inject and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.
This package include local and remote versions of the exploit.
HPE Intelligent Management Center is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an improper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in deserialization of untrusted data in WebDMDebugServlet.
An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.

QuickTime RTSP Content-Type exploit Mac Intel update
This module runs a server waiting for vulnerable clients to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by exploiting a vulnerability in Apple QuickTime, which allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the PDWizard.ocx of the Visual Studio application. The module will run a malicious website in the CORE IMPACT console and wait for a user to connect and trigger the exploit.
Insufficient input validation in the management interface of Solarwinds LEM Management Virtual Appliance v6.3.1 can be leveraged in order to execute arbitrary commands.
This can lead to shell access to the underlying operating system as root.
There is a buffer overflow in lasr.dll when parsing an AMI Pro document(.sam) file. The unsafe lstrcpy() function is used to copy each line read from the file into fixed sized stack and heap buffers, with no length checks being performed. Hence, it is possible to create an AMI Pro file that contains overly long lines that will trigger the buffer overflow when viewed within Lotus Notes.
In order to exploit this vulnerability successfully, the user must be convinced to view a malicious AMI Pro document file attachment using the built-in viewer in Lotus Notes.
Microsoft Office Word OLE2Link OLE Object Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Office Word. The flaw is related in how Microsoft Word handles OleLink objects. It is possible to open a RTF file and execute arbitrary code in vulnerables installations of Microsoft Office Word.
This vulnerability was originally seen being exploited in the wild starting in October 2016.
This module adds support for Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Office 2013 and Microsoft Office 2016.
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by exploiting a vulnerability in VLC 0.86, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute code via a crafted OGG file that triggers format string and overwrites a subroutine pointer during rendering.
Buffer overflow in the Live Picture Corporation DXSurface.LivePicture.FlashPix.1 (DirectTransform FlashPix) ActiveX control in DXTLIPI.DLL 6.0.2.827, as packaged in Microsoft DirectX Media 6.0 SDK, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long SourceUrl property value.
Sophos Web Appliance MgrReport blocking Vulnerablity Remote Code Execution Exploit
A vulnerability exists in the MgrReport.php (/controllers/MgrReport.php) component responsible for blocking and unblocking IP addresses from accessing the device.
By abusing the blockip variable, an attacker can achieve remote code execution.
MySQL 4.0.23 and earlier, and 4.1.x up to 4.1.10, allows remote authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE privileges to execute arbitrary code by using CREATE FUNCTION to access libc calls. This module exploits this vulnerability, and this update improve the exploit reliability.
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Windows handles cursor, animated cursor, and icon formats. An attacker could try to exploit the vulnerability by constructing a malicious cursor or icon file that could potentially allow remote code execution if a user visited a malicious Web site or viewed a specially crafted e-mail message (MS07-017)
The suid_dumpable support in Linux kernel 2.6.13 up to versions before 2.6.17.4, and 2.6.16 before 2.6.16.24, allows a local user to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) and possibly gain privileges via the PR_SET_DUMPABLE argument of the prctl function and a program that causes a core dump file to be created in a directory for which the user does not have permissions.

ATI Technologies Driver atillk64 Kernel Arbitrary Read Write Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
AMD ATI atillk64 allows low-privileged users to interact directly with physical memory by calling one of several driver routines that map physical memory into the virtual address space of the calling process. This could enable low-privileged users to achieve NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges via a DeviceIoControl call associated with MmMapIoSpace, IoAllocateMdl, MmBuildMdlForNonPagedPool, or MmMapLockedPages.
