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.

We provide pen testers with real-time updates for a wide range of exploits for different platforms, operating systems, and applications.
Search our continuously growing library to discover an exploit that will allow you to gain and retain access on the target host or application.
By properly setting the ProjectURL property, it is possible for an attacker to download an arbitrary dll file from a remote location and run the code in the dll in the context of the target process.
WellinTech KingSCADA stack-based buffer overflow Denial of Service
WellinTech KingSCADA before 3.7.0.0.1 contains a stack-based buffer overflow, the vulnerability is triggered when sending a specially crafted packet to the 'AlarmServer' (AEserver.exe) service listening on port 12401.The 3rd dword is used as number of characters to copy for a memcpy_s() function. the MaxSize of the destination buffer been set as 0x800. So When the 3rd dword is greater than 0x800 the service crashed.

WFTPD Server SIZE Command Buffer Overflow Exploit
An internal memory buffer may be overrun while handling long "SIZE" command. This condition may be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the WFTPD Server process.
This update improves the functionality of the impact agent running in windows 2000.

Win32k Window Object Type Confusion Local Privilege Escalation
The vulnerability is a win32k window object type confusion leading to an OOB (out-of-bounds) write which can be used to create arbitrary memory read and write capabilities within the Windows kernel to achieve elevated privileges.
Winamp is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability that occurs because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data via a crafted .MID file.
An integer overflow error exists in the processing of MP4 files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via e.g. an MP4 file containing a specially crafted "ctts" box.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Winamp Player when parsing the Ultravox Streaming metadata. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site.
An integer overflow in the LoadImage API of the USER32 Lib for Microsoft Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .BMP, .CUR, .ICO or .ANI file with a large image size field.
You can force vulnerable clients to connect to the web server automatically by using this module to send them a specially designed e-mail to exploit this vulnerability by open it with Outlook or Outlook Express.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the way WMF metafile images are handled by Microsoft Windows Graphics Rendering Engine.
In this new version, the generated metafile is much more random and fully compliant with the file format.
Additionally, the payload tries to escape to another process, then returns from the callback transferring the execution flow back to the host application, hiding exploitation from the user's perception.
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)
Windows Animated Cursor Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
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). This update adds support for default installs of Windows XP from sp0 to sp2, Windows Vista and Windows 2003 from sp0 to sp2.
Windows AppX Deployment Service AppXSVC Privilege Escalation Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows AppX Deployment Service (AppXSVC) improperly handles hard links, aka 'Windows Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'.
The cause of the vulnerability is due to the lack of a strict bounds check for the SignaturesOffset field in the Base Block for the base log file (BLF) in CLFS.sys.
