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.

AVEVA InduSoft Web Studio Remote Command Execution Exploit
The MTCheckFileFunctionsTimeout function in UniSoft.dll does not check the user-supplied executable file name that is used to create a process. If the file name is already a full path, it will be passed as the lpCommandLine parameter to a CreateProcessW call.
AVEVA InduSoft Web Studio Remote Command Injection Exploit
Unauthenticated remote command injection vulnerability in Indusoft Web Studio 8.1 SP2. The vulnerability is exercised via the custom remote agent protocol that is typically found on port 1234 or 51234. An attacker can issue a specially crafted command 66 which causes IWS to load a DB connection file off of a network share using SMB. The DB file can contain OS commands that will be executed at the privilege level used by IWS.
The AVG Administration Server is vulnerable to arbitrary configuration settings. Due to insufficient input validation, an attacker can use the StoreServerConfig command (command id 0x27) to set the value of the ClientLibraryName parameter to a UNC path. The provided value can be a path to a network share containing a malicious .dll file. This .dll file will be executed in the context of the AVG Administration Server service which runs as SYSTEM.
AVID Media Composer Phonetic Indexer Buffer Overflow Exploit
Avid Media Composer is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability within the Phonetic Indexer (AvidPhoneticIndexer.exe) because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer.
Awingsoft Awakening (aka Winds3D) Viewer, which runs as a plugin within most popular web browsers, is vulnerable to a remotely exploitable arbitrary command execution vulnerability which can be triggered by making the user visit a malicious link/website.
The web interface for AWStats 6.4 and 6.5, when statistics updates are enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in the migrate parameter.

BadBlue HTTP GET Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in ext.dll when processing an overly long PassThru command. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command.
BaoFeng Storm ActiveX control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to adequately check boundaries on user-supplied input.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the BarcodeWiz.dll module included in the Barcodewiz application. The exploit is triggered when the LoadProperties() method processes a malformed argument resulting in a memory corruption. 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 version fixes a bug in the classname of the onelink feature.
Bash Environment Variables Remote Code Execution Exploit for SSH
A vulnerability in GNU Bash when processing trailing strings after function definitions in the values of environment variables allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted environment.
This module abuses a metacharacter injection vulnerability in the diff.php script. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the www-data user account.
