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.

ProShow Gold PSH Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing certain overly long entries within slideshow project files (.PSH).
ProShow Producer is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named kdclib32.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .PSH file.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability during the processing of requested resources to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by requesting a resource with an overly long name.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within PSOProxy when processing HTTP GET Request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command.
A vulnerability in Pulse Connect Secure could allow an authenticated administrator to perform a file write via a maliciously crafted archive uploaded in the administrator web interface.
This exploit leverages a vulnerability in Pulse Secure which allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to send a specially crafted URI to perform an arbitrary file reading vulnerability.
Pult Online suffers from system information leak. The attacker can view the names of system files. By changing the directory for making a backup in the server configuration menu. So the files located in the previously selected folder will be displayed on the administrator system page. Tested on Pult Online v270
This update includes a module exploiting a vulnerability found in Bash. When using PureFTPd in conjuntion with the vulnerable Bash version for user authentication, a Core Impact agent is installed.
Pydio Cells Mailer Configuration Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
The administrative console in Pydio Cells allows a user with administrator role to set the path for the sendmail binary executable, when the "sendmail" option is selected in the mailer configuration.
Due to lack of sanitization in the given parameter, an administrator user can set the path to an arbitrary binary.
QEMU Floppy Disk Controller fdctrl_handle_drive_specification_command Virtual Machine Escape Exploit (VENOM)
The fdctrl_handle_drive_specification_command() function in the code that emulates the Floppy Disk Controller in QEMU does not properly reset the index within a buffer when processing user-controlled data, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow in the QEMU process that runs on the Host system.
An attacker running code within a Guest operating system can exploit this vulnerability in order to escape from the QEMU virtual machine and execute arbitrary code on the Host operating system.

QQPlayer File Processing Buffer Overflow Exploit
QQPlayer contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in QQPlayer when handling .ASX files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .ASX file.
