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.

Symantec IM Manager IMAdminSchedTask eval Command Injection Exploit
This updates adds support for extra connection methods and web browser fingerprinting capabilities. Also, for consistency reasons, the module's display name was changed from "Symantec IM Manager Administrative Interface IMAdminSchedTask.asp Remote Code Execution Exploit" to "Symantec IM Manager IMAdminSchedTask eval Command Injection Exploit.
Symantec IM Manager Administrative Interface IMAdminSchedTask.asp Remote Code Execution Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Symantec IM Manager. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability in that a logged in user must be coerced into visiting a malicious link. The specific flaw exists within the ScheduleTask method exposed by the IMAdminSchedTask.asp page hosted on the web interface. This function does not properly sanitize user input from a POST variable before passing it to an eval call.

This function does not properly sanitize user input from a POST variable before passing it to an eval call.
This module exploit three different vulnerabilities in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) in order to install an agent on a vunlerable target machine.
CVE-2015-1486 allows unauthenticated attackers access to SEPM.
CVE-2015-1487 allows reading and writing arbitrary files, resulting in the execution of arbitrary commands with 'NT Service\semsrv' privileges.
CVE-2015-1489 allows the execution of arbitrary OS commands with 'NT Authority\SYSTEM' privileges.
Symantec Endpoint Protection Kernel Pool Overflow Privilege Escalation Exploit Update
Buffer overflow in the sysplant driver in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) Client 11.x and 12.x before 12.1 RU4 MP1b, and Small Business Edition before SEP 12.1, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to a 0x00222084 IOCTL call.
Symantec Endpoint Protection Kernel Pool Overflow Privilege Escalation Exploit
Buffer overflow in the sysplant driver in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) Client 11.x and 12.x before 12.1 RU4 MP1b, and Small Business Edition before SEP 12.1, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to a 0x00222084 IOCTL call.
The vulnerability resides in parsing crafted Microsoft PowerPoint documents and produces a buffer overflow in the stack, leading to a privilege escalation to System.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the XferWan.exe component included with Symantec Discovery 6.5. The exploit sends a specially crafted TCP packet triggering a buffer overflow and installing an agent on the target system.
Symantec ConsoleUtilities ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the AeXNSConsoleUtilities.dll control included in the Symantec ConsoleUtilities application. The exploit is triggered when the BrowseAndSaveFile method processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Symantec BackupExec Calendar Control (PVCalendar.ocx). When the _DOWText0 property processes a long string argument, a stack based buffer overflow occurs allowing execution of arbitrary code.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Symantec AMS Intel Handler service by sending a malformed packet to the 38292/TCP port to crash the application.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the AeXNSConsoleUtilities.dll control included in the Symantec ConsoleUtilities application. The vulnerability is triggered when the RunCmd method processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
This module exploits an arbitrary file download and execute vulnerability in the Altiris.AeXNSPkgDL.1 ActiveX Control included in Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the Surgemail Server 3.x and deploys an agent when successful. The exploit triggers a buffer-overflow vulnerability due to insufficient bounds checking of user supplied input allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the remote machine.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in SurgeMail Mail Server and installs an agent into the target host. A buffer overflow vulnerability is located in the function which handles the real CGI executables. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to this module.
This exploit perform three attempts to disable DEP in XP SP2 and Windows 2003.
