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.

MSRPC CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup ReportRemoteExecuteCML Exploit
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup is prone to a stack based buffer overflow vulnerability on the RPC interface that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in a certain DCOM interface for RPC in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and Server 2003. After successful exploitation an agent will be installed.
This module exploits a .data based buffer overflow in the function _RegistryInitValues@12 of LLSSRV.EXE (Microsoft's License and Logging Service), to then force a stack-based buffer overflow in the function _LocalServiceListConcurrentLimitSet@0. The exploit doesn't use any hardcoded address, it instead uses DCE-RPC messages to place the agent (and other structures) in the memory of the target service, and then uses other DCE-RPC messages to learn the addresses of this structures.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the RPC Locator service. This service is present by default in Domain Controller computers. After successful exploitation an agent will be installed.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in certain Active Directory service functions in LSASRV.DLL of the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) in Microsoft Windows, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a packet that causes the DsRolerUpgradeDownlevelServer function to create long debug entries for the DCPROMO.LOG log file, as exploited by the Sasser worm. This service is accessible via the TCP port 139 and 445.
The windows Message Queuing Service is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the rpc interface that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent.
MSRPC Microsoft Host Integration Remote Command Execution Exploit (MS08-059)
This module exploits a remote command injection in the SNA RPC service included in Microsoft Host Integration Server. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the Message Queuing component of Microsoft Windows allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted message and installing an agent. This module only works with localagent set as source.
Microsoft Client Service for Netware is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent.
Microsoft Client Service for Netware is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent.
Novell Client for Netware is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the nwspool.dll that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent.
Novell Client for Netware is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the nwspool.dll that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent.
This module exploits a command injection error in the function _AddPrinterW in Samba 3, reached through an AddPrinter remote request. For this exploit to work, the "addprinter command" option must be enabled on smb.conf, the samba configuration file. The agent will normally run as the "nobody" user, and will have limited capabilities.
This module exploits a heap based buffer overflow in the function _AddPrinterW in WIN32SPL.DLL (a component of the printer spooler service), reached through an AddPrinter remote request. Before doing so, the module manipulates the heap into a known state by using a memory leak and some other primitives. After this, the agent code is first written into a well-known location and then a function pointer is changed to divert the execution flow into this location.
The Windows DCE-RPC Server service is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent.
MSRPC Trend Micro Server Protect buffer overflow exploit
Trend Micro ServerProtect is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the RPC interface that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code.
