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.

Mercury PH Server Module Buffer Overflow Exploit
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.
This vulnerability 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 SMTP Server Module (mercurys.dll) when processing arguments to the AUTH CRAM-MD5 command. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.

SCADA
MetaServer RT Packet Processing Remote DoS
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing certain packets and can be exploited to cause a crash via a specially crafted packet sent to TCP port 2194.
Micorosft Internet Explorer SetMouseCapture Use-After-Free Exploit
This module exploits a use after free in Internet Explorer by using a SetMouseCapture vulnerability in MSHTML.
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.
Microchip MPLAB IDE MCP File Handling Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability arises from the way MPLAB IDE processes IDE Project files with extension of .mcp. It could lead to a critical buffer overflow error that allows hackers to execute malicious code on users systems.
Microsoft .NET Framework CLR Virtual Method Delegate Exploit (MS10-060)
The Common Language Runtime (CLR) in Microsoft .NET Framework does not properly handle interfaces and delegations to virtual methods. This module exploits the vulnerability through Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Microsoft .NET Runtime Optimization Service Privilege Escalation Exploit
The .NET Runtime Optimization Service, part of the .NET Framework, is prone to a privilege escalation vulnerability, which can be exploited by local unprivileged users to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
This module exploits a vulnerability caused due to a boundary error in the Microsoft Agent ActiveX control (agentdpv.dll) when handling specially crafted URLs passed as argument to a certain unspecified method. 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.
This module exploits a vulnerability caused due to a boundary error in the Microsoft Agent ActiveX control (agentdpv.dll) when handling specially crafted URLs passed as argument to a certain unspecified method.
This package improves the reliability of the exploit.
Microsoft ASP.NET Hash Table Collisions DoS (MS11-100)
This module sends HTTP requests with specially crafted data making the ASP.NET subsystem consume lot of resources. This attack prevents the victim server from processing requests from legitimate clients and probably will make the server non-operational.
Microsoft ASP.NET Hash Table Collisions DoS (MS11-100) Update
This module sends HTTP requests with specially crafted data making the ASP.NET subsystem consume lot of resources. This attack prevents the victim server from processing requests from legitimate clients and probably will make the server non-operational.
This update fixes an issue when launching the module from an agent running in a Linux system.
A denial of service vulnerability exists in DHCPv6 service when an unauthenticated attacker connects to the target system and sends specially crafted requests.
