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.

ActSoft DVD Tools Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the dvdtools.ocx control included in the ActSoft DVD Tools ActiveX application. The exploit is triggered when the OpenDVD() 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.
JMS Object messages within Apache ActiveMQ depend on Java Serialization for marshaling/unmashaling of the message payload. This lead to execution of untrusted code when a specially crafted object is received.
This update introduces an exploit that will attempt to connect using the STOMP protocol and abuse the vulnerability to execute a Core Impact agent in the vulnerable system.
ActiveFax Server's FTP service has a remote buffer overflow vulnerability that can be exploited by an authenticated atacker.

Active Directory LDAP Request Handling DoS (MS08-060)
Active Directory, which is an essential component of the Windows 2000 architecture, presents organizations with a directory service designed for distributed computing environments. Active Directory allows organizations to centrally manage and share information on network resources and users while acting as the central authority for network security. The directory services provided by Active Directory are based on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and thus Active Directory objects can be stored and retrieved using the LDAP protocol.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing ActFax Server. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing an overly long Print Job command on the Line Printer Daemon Server (LPD-Server) . This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command.

ActFax Server FTP User Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing ActFax Server. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing an overly long USER name on the FTP Server. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command.

ActFax RAW Server Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability in ActFax Server RAW server used to transfer fax messages without protocols. Data fields. @F506,@F605, and @F000 are vulnerable.
Acrobat Reader DC Double-Free Vulnerability Exploit
Adobe Reader has a built-in sandbox feature that usually makes exploitation difficult. By combining vulnerabilities, this attack achieves code execution and then bypasses the sandbox protection to fully compromise the targeted system.
Acoustica MP3 CD Burner ASX Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing malformed ASX playlist files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow tricking a user into opening a specially crafted playlist file containing a ref tag with an overly long href attribute.
Acoustica Mixcraft is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability in the handling of .MX4 project files, because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data, before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
Acoustica Beatcraft contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Acoustica Beatcraft when handling .BCPROJ files.
A Reflected Cross Site Scripting vulnerability was found in the atksearch[contractnumber], atksearch_AE_customer[customer] and atksearchmode[contracttype] variables within the 'Organisation Contracts' administration page. This is because the application does not properly sanitise the users input.
