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.

Adobe Flash Player AS3 ConvolutionFilter Use-After-Free Exploit
This module exploits a Use-After-Free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. The specific flaw exists within the processing of AS3 ConvolutionFilter objects. By manipulating the matrix property of a ConvolutionFilter object, an attacker can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process. This vulnerability was one of the 2015's Pwn2Own challenges.
Adobe Flash Player AS2 NetConnection Type Confusion Exploit
This module exploits a Type Confusion vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. The specific flaw exist in the ActionScript 2 NetConnection class. When a NetConnection method is called with a parameter that is a native function object, its native data can be specified as a Number by the caller, but be interpreted as a pointer. This allows to overwrite different objects like vectors and finally accomplish remote code execution.
Flash Player is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability that is caused by the lack of bounds-checking when indexing the arguments of a function. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by enticing an unsuspecting user to visit a malicious Web page containing a specially crafted SWF file. This exploit bypasses ASLR and DEP in order to deploy an agent.
Adobe Flash Player ActiveX SWF Memory Corruption Exploit
This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player when parsing a specially crafted .SWF file, which can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable machines by convincing an unsuspecting user to visit a malicious web site.
Adobe Extension Manager CS5 is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of dwmapi.dll if this dll is located in the same folder than .MXI file.
Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of dwmapi.dll if this dll is located in the same folder than .JSX file.
An important vulnerability has been identified in ColdFusion version 8.0, 8.0.1, 9.0, 9.0.1 for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX. This directory traversal vulnerability could lead to information disclosure (CVE-2010-2861). Adobe has provided a solution for this reported vulnerability. It recomends that users update their product.
The /CFIDE/adminapi/customtags/l10n.cfm page in Adobe ColdFusion does not properly validate its attributes.file parameter. This can be abused by a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable servers.
Adobe ColdFusion 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.
Adobe ColdFusion is vulnerable to a remote authentication-bypass, allowing the attacker to upload an agent and execute it. The agent may have SYSTEM privileges if ColdFusion is installed as a service in Windows.
Adobe Acrobat X Pro updaternotifications DLL Hijacking Exploit
Adobe Acrobat X Pro is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named updaternotifications.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder as a .PDF file. The attacker must entice a victim into opening a specially crafted .PDF file. This file and the associated binary may be delivered to a user through remote WebDAV shares. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.

Adobe Acrobat Reader x3d Buffer Overflow Exploit
An specific flaw exists within the application explicitly trusting a string's length embedded within a particular file that is loaded by both tesselate.x3d and 3difr.x3d plugins.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader when parsing .PDF files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in authplay.dll when handling crafted malicious Flash (.SWF) file or by embedding a malicious Flash application in a .PDF file. WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations.
Adobe Acrobat Reader armsvc Service Privilege Escalation Exploit
Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x before 10.1.15 and 11.x before 11.0.12, Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Classic before 2015.006.30060, and Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Continuous before 2015.008.20082 on Windows and OS X allow attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and perform a transition from Low Integrity to Medium Integrity via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-4446 and CVE-2015-5106.
Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash Player Code Execution Exploit
Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Flash Player are prone to a remote code-execution by supplying a malicious Flash (.SWF) file or by embedding a malicious Flash application in a .PDF file.
