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. Witten by our own internal team, 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.

Kolibri Webserver HEAD Request Processing Buffer Overflow Exploit
An internal memory buffer may be overrun while handling "HEAD" command. This condition may be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the Kolibri webserver process (Kolibri.exe).
Windows
Exploits / Remote
Impact
Kolibri WebServer HTTP POST Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing Kolibri Web Server. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Kolibri Web Server when processing HTTP POST Request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
Kolibri Web Server GET Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing Kolibri Web Server. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Kolibri Web Server when processing HTTP GET Request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Alert Service (aolnsrvr.exe) component of LANDesk Management Suite 8.7 and installs an agent if successful. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted packet to port UDP/65535.
This module exploits a file upload vulnerability in the LANDesk Lenovo ThinkManagement Console. Unrestricted file upload in andesk/managementsuite/core/core.anonymous/ServerSetup.asmx in the ServerSetup web service in Lenovo ThinkManagement Console allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with an executable extension via a PutUpdateFileCore command in a RunAMTCommand SOAP request.
This module exploits a header overflow vulnerability in lighttpd when using fast_cgi module in lighttpd before version 1.4.18. The vulnerability allows to modify PHP headers. This module modifies the SCRIPT_FILENAME PHP header to run arbitrary files in the PHP interpreter. This module will send a request to the server with a HTTP Referer header with PHP code that is written on the log file by the lighttpd server. Then the module searches for the lighttpd log file in the web server using the vulnerability.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Light HTTPD Daemon. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted packet to port TCP/3000.
LPRng contains a function, use_syslog(), that returns user input to a string in LPRng that is passed to syslog() as the format string. As a result, it is possible to corrupt the program's flow of execution by entering malicious format specifiers.
This exploit use a format string vulnerability via syslog(3) located in the rlprd msg() function to install an agent. rlprd versions 2.0 to 2.04 are vulnerable.
IBM Lotus Domino LSUB IMAP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit
Exploits a stack buffer overflow in the Lotus Domino IMAP Server after authentication. This exploit creates a subscription to a mailbox with a long name in the IMAP server, and then sends a LSUB command that triggers the overflow. After trying to deploy an agent, the module tries to unsubscribe from the mailbox. If the module is unable to unsubscribe it will try again the next time the module is run against the same target. The IMAP server may crash. In that case the user will still be subscribed to the mailbox and the server will crash again when the user sends a LSUB command.
MailEnable is prone to a remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue occurs in the server's HTTP Header Field Definitions. This condition may be leveraged to overwrite sensitive program control variables, allowing a remote attacker to control execution flow of the server process.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in Mailenable smtp service for Windows, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via AUTH command input.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the status command of MailEnable and installs an agent. The status command requires an authenticated session, so valid credentials are required.
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator - Protection Pilot HTTP exploit
A successful exploit of a reported security vulnerability could allow an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code on the ePolicy Orchestrator server. The attack would require network access to the ePolicy Orchestrator server system and reverse engineering of the proprietary communications protocol.
The Raw Message Handler (FORM2RAW.exe) CGI, accessible by default from the WebClient interface, lets unauthenticated users inject mails in the Raw messages queue that can trigger a stack overflow in MDaemon.exe
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the mDNSResponder service running on certain versions of Apple Mac OS X. The vulnerability is exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted UPnP Internet Gateway Device (IGD) packet and installing an agent.
This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in the service.exe service included in the Measuresoft ScadaPro application by sending a sequence of malformed packets to the 11234/TCP port.
MediaWiki with DjVU or PDF file upload allows a remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by exploting a bug in the with parameter in thumb.php while previewing the uploaded file.
This module allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing the Mercury Mail Transport System. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Mercury/32 IMAPD Server Module (mercuryi.dll). This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly bounds check user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed size memory buffer. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
