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.

Corel FastFlix Multiple DLL Hijacking Exploit
Untrusted search path vulnerability in Corel FastFlix 17.0.0.249 and earlier, and possibly other versions allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to execute arbitrary code and conduct DLL hijacking attacks via a Trojan horse igfxcmrt32.dll or ipl.dll or MSPStyleLib.dll or uFioUtil.dll or uhDSPlay.dll or uipl.dll or uvipl.dll or VC1DecDll.dll or VC1DecDll_SSE3.dll that is located in the same folder as an .vfp file.
Microsoft Internet Explorer CInput Object Use-After-Free Exploit(MS14-035)
A use after free vulnerability exists in Internet Explorer. The vulnerability is due to accessing a freed CInput object in memory.
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing the target user to open a malicious web page. In the case of successful exploitation, arbitrary attacker code would be executed in the security context of the target user.
Opera file URI Handling Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
Opera is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer.
Sony Sound Forge Pro MtxParhVegasPreview DLL Hijacking Exploit
Sony Sound Forge Pro is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named MtxParhVegasPreview.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder as a .SFW file.
The attacker must entice a victim into opening a specially crafted .SFW file. This file and the associated binary may be delivered to a user through remote WebDAV shares. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.
Adobe Flash Player SWF File Memory Corruption Exploit
Adobe Flash Player is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted .SWF file, which can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable machines by convincing an unsuspecting user to visit a malicious web site.
This vulnerability has been found exploited in-the-wild during April 2011.
A code execution vulnerability exists in the way that VLC handles specially crafted .NSV (Nullsoft streaming video file) files when opening in Internet Explorer 6 or 7.
Microsoft Office Excel RTD Data Record Processing Stack Overwrite Exploit (MS11-021) Update 2
The flaw exists within the methods used for RealTimeData Record Parsing. When handling a stTopic field that has a bit set specifying double byte characters in the following field the value of a global pointer is improperly calculated.
This version adds Windows 7 support and updates the CVE number.
IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express for Software ActiveX Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the way the ActiveX Control parses data supplied to the RunAndUploadFile function. The ActiveX control is used to create an Asset Information file for the local system to be uploaded to the IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express Server.
HP LoadRunner micWebAjax ActiveX Control NotifyEvent Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the micWebAjax.dll ActiveX control. The control exposes the NotifyEvent method. The method performs insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data which results in stack corruption.
MPlayer SAMI Subtitle File Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in MPlayer. A stack-based buffer overflow in the sub_read_line_sami function in MPlayer SVN Versions before 33471 and SMPlayer 0.6.9 and older versions allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a SAMI subtitle file.
IBM SPSS SamplePower Vsflex8l ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
Buffer overflow when a special malformed string is assigned to the ComboList or ColComboList property. The code looks for a '#'in the string then copies into a global buffer in the data section with a static size of 0x64.
