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.

Norman Security Suite Nprosec.sys Privilege Escalation Exploit
Norman Security Suite is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability that can be exploited by local, unprivileged users to gain SYSTEM privileges.
The vulnerability occurs in the Nprosec.sys driver when handling IOCTL 0x00220210.
A boundary error exists in the dhost.dll component of Novell eDirectory post authentication when processing list of modules. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted request with an overly long module name.
Novell File Reporter Agent XML Tag Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Novell File Reporter. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted packet to port TCP/3037.
Novell File Reporter NFRAgent FSFUI Record File Upload Exploit
This module exploits a Directory traversal vulnerability in NFRAgent.exe in Novell File Reporter. This allows remote attackers to upload and execute files via a 130 /FSF/CMD request with a .. (dot dot) in a FILE element of an FSFUI record. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted packet to port TCP/3037.
Novell File Reporter NFRAgent PATH Tag Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability exists within NFRAgent.exe listening on TCP port 3037. When parsing tags inside the PATH element, the process performs insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data prior to copying it on the stack.
Novell File Reporter NFRAgent VOL Tag Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability exists within NFRAgent.exe listening on TCP port 3037. When parsing tags inside the VOL element, the process performs insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data prior to copying it on the stack.
Vulnerabilities exist within methods exposed by gwcls1.dll which accept pointer and perform operations on the potentially malicious pointer without validation.
Novell iPrint Client ActiveX Control Debug Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the ienipp.ocx ActiveX control. The control accepts a 'debug' parameter that is expected to be either "yes" or "true". If a string of a specific length is provided instead, a processing loop within the ExecuteRequest method can be made to corrupt a stack-based buffer.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the ienipp.ocx ActiveX component of Novell iPrint Client by passing an overly long value to the 'call-back-url' parameter.
Novell iPrint Client Date Time Parameter Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the ienipp.ocx control included in the Novell iPrint Client application. The exploit is triggered when the Date Time parameter processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Novell iPrint Client by passing an overly long 'printerUri' parameter to the GetDriverSettings method of the iPrint Client ActiveX component.
Novell iPrint Client IPP Response URI Handling Buffer Overflow Exploit
A buffer overflow vulnerability within the handling of functions that take a URI as a parameter allows arbitrary command execution when a user loads a specially crafted web page.
The flaw exists within the nipplib.dll component. When handling the exposed method GetDriverSettings the application assembles a string for logging consisting of the hostname/port provided as a parameter. When building this message the process will blindly copy user supplied data into a fixed-length buffer on the stack.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the ienipp.ocx control included in the Novell iPrint Client application. The exploit is triggered when the Target Frame parameter processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the ienipp.ocx control included in Novell iPrint Client v4.32 and prior. The exploit is triggered when the ExecuteRequest() method processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. 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.
