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.

openERM_SQLi
SQL Injection in add_edit_event_user.php is caused by unsanitized user input from the eid, userid, and pid parameters. Exploiting this vulnerability requires authentication to Patient Portal Tested on OpenEMR 5.0.1 (Path 3) - SQL Injection
Exploits / SQL Injection
MEDICAL
Openfiler Remote Code Execution Exploit
Insufficient sanitization in Openfile's /admin/system.html 'Hostname' field, leads to remote code execution.
Linux
Exploits/Remote Code Execution
Impact
Openfiler Remote Code Execution Exploit Update
Insufficient sanitization in Openfile's /admin/system.html 'Hostname' field, leads to remote code execution. This update fixes the exploit category.
Linux
Exploits/Remote
Impact
Openfire Remote Command Injection Exploit
This module exploits a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in Openfire to install an agent.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the authentication process. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending an overly long, specially-crafted password to the affected server.
Windows
Exploits/Remote
Impact
Openftpd Server Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the authentication process. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending an overly long, specially-crafted password to the affected server. This update adds CVE Number.
OpenKM allows administrative users (those having the AdminRole) to run bean shell scripts. Due to this permission an attacker could lure an OpenKM administrator to a malicious web page that causes arbitrary OS commands to run in the administrators OpenKM session context.
Linux
Exploits/Client Side
Impact
OpenLDAP modrdn Request Multiple Vulnerabilities
OpenLDAP allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service effect (service crash) via a modrdn call with a zero-length RDN destination string, which is not properly handled by the smr_normalize function and triggers a NULL pointer dereference in the IA5StringNormalize function within schema_init.c
OpenNMS Platform is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an insecure deployment of the JMX/RMI service used to manage and monitor the Java Virtual Machine.
OpenOffice OLE DocumentSummaryInformation Heap Overflow Exploit
A security vulnerability with the way OpenOffice.org processes OLE files may allow a remote unprivileged user who provides an OpenOffice.org document that is opened by a local user to execute arbitrary commands on the system with the privileges of the user running OpenOffice.org. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened.
This module exploits a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the OpenOffice software included in most linux distributions. The vulnerability is caused by the prtdata tag with a length parameter inconsistency, which causes vtable entries to be overwritten. The exploit is triggered when an unsuspecting user opens a specially crafted file distributed via an email.
OpenOffice Word sprmTDefTable Integer Overflow Exploit
Integer underflow in filter/ww8/ww8par2.cxx in OpenOffice.org (OOo) before 3.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted sprmTDefTable table property modifier in a Word document.
This module exploits an authentication vulnerability in OpenSite 2.1. The function init in origin/libs/user.php checks for a matching origin_hash cookie. However, this cookie can be bruteforced in at most 2^32 tries for a known username. Actually, the number of attempts could be significantly reduced knowing that we do not have to check for time in the future, and long past. This works for OpenSite 2.1 and below.
Exploits/Authentication Weakness
Impact
OpenSMTPD Remote Code Execution Exploit
smtp_mailaddr in smtp_session.c in OpenSMTPD 6.6, as used in OpenBSD 6.6 and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root via a crafted SMTP session, as demonstrated by shell metacharacters in a MAIL FROM field. This affects the "uncommented" default configuration. The issue exists because of an incorrect return value upon failure of input validation.
Exploits an off-by-one bug in channel management code in OpenSSH. This update excludes the module from automated attacks launched by the "Network Attack and Penetration" feature, since the module requires credentials of a known account on the vulnerable system, and hence won't work with default parameters.
This module exploits an error in the PAM authentication code and installs an agent into the target host. This update improves the reliability of the exploit.
This module exploits a vulnerability in OpenSSL by sending a "Change Ciper Spec" message to the server. This vulnerability allows man-in-the-middle attackers to trigger use of a zero-length master key in certain OpenSSL-to-OpenSSL communications, and consequently hijack sessions or obtain sensitive information, via a crafted TLS handshake.
ssl/s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8i allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a DTLS ChangeCipherSpec packet that occurs before ClientHello.
