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.

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.
A path traversal vulnerability in the FortiOS SSL VPN web portal may allow an unauthenticated attacker to download FortiOS system files through specially crafted HTTP resource requests.
An authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel vulnerability [CWE-288] in FortiOS, FortiProxy and FortiSwitchManager may allow an unauthenticated attacker to perform operations on the administrative interface via specially crafted HTTP or HTTPS requests.
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability [CWE-122] in FortiOS version 7.2.4 and below, version 7.0.11 and below, version 6.4.12 and below, version 6.0.16 and below and FortiProxy version 7.2.3 and below, version 7.0.9 and below, version 2.0.12 and below, version 1.2 all versions, version 1.1 all versions SSL-VPN may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or commands via specifically crafted requests. This module checks the vulnerability exploiting the heap overflow and doing a Welch's t-test between two time datasets.
Fortinet FortiClient IOCTL 220028 Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The Fortishield.sys driver in Fortinet FortiClient before 5.2.4 allows local users to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges by setting the callback function in a (1) 0x220024 or (2) 0x220028 ioctl call.
FortiClient Weak IOCTL mdare Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
FortiClient is prone to a privilege-escalation vulnerability that affects mdare64_48.sys, mdare32_48.sys, mdare32_52.sys, mdare64_52.sys and Fortishield.sys drivers. All these drivers expose an API to manage processes and the windows registry, for instance, the IOCTL 0x2220c8 of the mdareXX_XX.sys driver returns a full privileged handle to a given process PID. In particular, this same function is replicated inside Fortishield.sys. Attackers can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges in the context of any selected process.

FlashGet FTP PWD Response Buffer Overflow Exploit
This exploit takes advantage of a vulnerability that allows attackers to cause FlashGet to execute arbitrary code via a malformed FTP PWD response.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox when serializing XML to a DOM object. A certain method used during this process is likely to create a dangling pointer. Remote attackers can take advantage of this memory and use it to execute arbitrary code.
Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 and 7.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, by calling InstallVersion.compareTo with an object instead of a string. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the database service (fbserver.exe) of the FireBird SQL application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet with a malformed "username" value to port 3050/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the database service (fbserver.exe) of the FireBird SQL application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted "create" request to port 3050/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
FileCopa LIST Command Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
FileCopa FTP Server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling data through the LIST command, a large amount of data can trigger an overflow in a finite-sized internal memory buffer.
