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.

Netgear R7000P router Denial of Service Vulnerability
Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi Router, 2.2Gbps Built for gaming, streaming, and mobile devices, this router supports MU-MIMO for simultaneous streaming and delivers extreme speed and extended range so you enjoy less lag and less buffering. Keep your family safe from online threats with an automatic shield of protection for all your connected devices from NETGEAR Armor. Add NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls to keep kids safe and easily manage their time online.
A path traversal attack in web interfaces of Netgear RAX35, RAX38, and RAX40 routers before v1.0.4.102, allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive restricted information, such as forbidden files of the web application, via sending a specially crafted HTTP packet.
Remote Netis ADSL Router allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.The FTP service is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack. Attackers simply need to log into the router and send and valid FTP command with a character offset of 1461 as the command input
Netmechanica NetDecision HTTP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit
A buffer overflow in NetDecision's HTTP service is exploited when a long URL is managed by the HTTP Server's active window. For successfull exploitation, the victim need to have the HttpSvr's window open.
Netmechanica NetDecision HTTP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
A buffer overflow in NetDecision's HTTP service is exploited when a long URL is managed by the HTTP Server's active window. For successfull exploitation, the victim need to have the HttpSvr's window open.
An internal memory buffer may be overrun while handling long "USER" command. This condition may be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the NetTerm NetFTPD.exe process.
This update improves reliability of "Pass The Hash", "Who is There" and "Remote Desktop Access" modules, which happened to have problems when executed in the context of an agent running as SYSTEM user.

New features for MSRPC exploits
Added support for NT and LM hashes as authentication mechanism.
Added fragmentation support for /TCP and /SMB transports.
Added fragmentation for DCERPC over any transport.
This two different types of fragmentation can be combined or used independently.

NewStealthWrapper
This update adds a wrapper to any agent that is created to be directly deployed and run on target systems. This wrapper helps evade detection of the agent by Anti Virus programs.

nginx Encoded Directory Trasversal Denial of Service Exploit
nginx 0.8.36 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain encoded directory traversal sequences that trigger memory corruption, as demonstrated using the "%c0.%c0." sequence.
Nginx HTTP Server Chuncked Encoding Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability present in Nginx by bypassing the stack cookie protection and by reordering the TCP packets to make it reliable.
Nitro Pro PDF Reader Javascript API Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits an unsafe Javascript API implemented in Nitro and Nitro Pro PDF Reader. The saveAs() Javascript API function allows for writing arbitrary files to the file system. Additionally, the launchURL() function allows an attacker to execute local files on the file system and bypass the security dialog.
Nokia Multimedia Player NPL File Buffer Overflow Exploit
Nokia Multimedia Player is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability that occurs because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data via a crafted .NPL file.
An uninitialised stack variable in the nxfuse component that is part of the Open Source DokanFS library shipped with NoMachine allows a local low privileged user to gain elevation of privileges.
