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.

Free MP3 CD Ripper Buffer Overflow SEH Exploit
A Buffer Overflow exists when parsing .mp3/wma files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .mp3/wma files.
Free MP3 CD Ripper contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Free MP3 CD Ripper when handling .WAV files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .WAV file.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Free Download Manager. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the processing of torrent files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened.
Free Download Manager Control Server Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
A boundary error in the Remote Control Server when processing Authorization headers in HTTP requests can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an HTTP request containing an overly long Authorization header.
Foxit Reader Title Parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit
Foxit Reader is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing a user to open a malicious PDF file containing an overly long title.

Foxit Reader Open File Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Foxit Reader. If an Open/Execute a file action is defined in the PDF file with an overly long file name argument, when the trigger condition is satisfied it will cause a stack-based buffer overflow, because the application tries to copy the file name argument to a fixed-size buffer in the stack without properly checking that the buffer is large enough to hold the file name string. This update adds support for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003.

Foxit Reader Compact Font Format Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability has been identified in Foxit Reader, which could be exploited by attackers to potentially compromise a vulnerable system. This issue is caused by a memory corruption error when processing Compact Font Format (CFF) data within a PDF document, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted PDF document. This is the same vulnerability that is currently being exploited to jailbreak the iPhone 4 OS. WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module.
Foxit Phantom PDF Suite Title Parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit
Foxit Phantom PDF Suite is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability that occurs because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data via a crafted .PDF document.

Impact
Foxit PDF Reader Export XFA Data Arbitrary File Write Exploit
The method exportXFAData has inadvertently exposed a dangerous loophole that can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victim's system. The exploitation process requires the victim's interaction, meaning a potential attacker would need to convince the target to visit a malicious web page or open a corrupted file. The victim's susceptibility to social engineering thus significantly increases the risk factor of this vulnerability.

Foscam Camera tmpfs File Disclosure Exploit
This module exploits a file disclosure vulnerability on Foscam IP cameras. Due to improper access restrictions, it is possible for a remote unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from the /tmpfs/ and /log/ directories. This can be exploited to obtain valuable information such as access credentials, Wi-Fi configuration and other sensitive information in plain text.
Fortra's Robot Schedule Enterprise Agent for Windows prior to version 3.04 is susceptible to privilege escalation. A low-privileged user can overwrite the service executable. When the service is restarted, the replaced binary runs with local system privileges, allowing a low-privileged user to gain elevated privileges.
