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.

Product Name
VLC Media Player RealText Processing Stack Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in VideoLan Media Player (VLC). A stack-based buffer overflow in the ParseRealText function in the Subtitle demux plugin (modules\demux\subtitle.c) in VLC Media Player 0.9.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a realtext RT media file with a header containing a crafted size value.
A code execution vulnerability exists in the way that VLC handles specially crafted .NSV (Nullsoft streaming video file) files when opening in Internet Explorer 6 or 7.
VLC Media Player MP4 Demuxer Buffer Overflow Exploit
VLC media player is prone to multiple stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities.
When parsing a MP4, ASF or AVI file with an overly deep box structure, a stack overflow might occur. It would overwrite the return address and thus redirect the execution flow.
Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application or crash the application, denying service to legitimate users.
VLC media player 1.0.1 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
VLC Media Player MKV File Memory Corruption Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in VideoLan Media Player (VLC). A memory corruption vulnerability in the MKV demuxer plugin (ibmkv_plugin) in VLC Media Player 1.1.6.1 and earlier allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a MKV media file.
VLC Media Player libmodplug Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
VLC Media Player is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability due to insufficient validation of user supplied data. An attacker is able to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user when opening malicious .S3M media files.
VLC Media Player Format String exploit linux support update
This module tries to attack VLC Media Player by sending a crafted OGG file that triggers a format string and overwrites a subroutine pointer during rendering.
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by exploiting a vulnerability in VLC 0.86, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute code via a crafted OGG file that triggers format string and overwrites a subroutine pointer during rendering.
The vulnerability is due to an error while parsing Parts field in ABC files which can result in an integer overflow in the libmodplug library used by VLC Media Player.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the PDWizard.ocx of the Visual Studio application. The module will run a malicious website in the CORE IMPACT console and wait for a user to connect and trigger the exploit.
This module exploits a remote vulnerability to install an agent into the target host.

VisiWave Site Survey Report File Processing Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in VisiWave Site Survey Report when handling report files. This can be exploited to cause a stack based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .VWR file.
VisiWave Site Survey Report File Processing Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in VisiWave Site Survey Report when handling report files. This can be exploited to cause a stack based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .VWR file. This module bypass DEP using ROP techniques.
ViscomSoft VideoCap ActiveX Control Remote File Create Vulnerability
This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them.

Viscom Software Movie Player Pro SDK ActiveX Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when you pass to "strFontName" parameter a string overly long than 24 bytes which leads into EIP overwrite allowing the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the logged on user. This happens because an inadequate space is stored into the buffer intended to receive the font name.
VirtualMin Dom Parameter Cross Site Scripting Exploit
Input passed to the "dom" parameter in left.cgi and via the URL to virtual-server/link.cgi is not properly sanitized before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
This module causes a Denial of Service in Virtual Collaborative Environment.

VirIT eXplorer Anti-Virus Arbitrary Write Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
In VirIT eXplorer Anti-Virus, the VIAGLT64.SYS driver file contains an Arbitrary Write vulnerability, and can be exploited to elevate privileges from a local account to SYSTEM.
The IOCTL Codes 0x80102050 and 0x80102054 allow a low privileges user to read/write 1/2/4 bytes from/to an IO port. This could be leveraged in a number of ways to ultimately run code with elevated privileges.
Viper RGB Driver Kernel Buffer Overflow Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Viper RGB MsIo64.sys vulnerability allows unprivileged local users to execute code with SYSTEM privileges.
