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.

Impact
Plone popen2 Remote Command Execution Exploit
This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in the Zope web application server used by Plone, by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected web site. The vulnerability exists because it is possible to remotely invoke the popen2 function from the Python os package with arbitrary arguments in the context of the affected server. This can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the target machine.
PoPToP PPTP server before 1.1.4-b3 allows remote attackers to execute code via a length field of 0 or 1, which causes a negative value to be fed into a read operation, leading to a buffer overflow.
Postgres Plus Advanced Server DBA Management Server Remote Code Execution Exploit
The DBA Management Server component of EnterpriseDB Postgres Plus Advanced Server does not restrict access to the underlying JBoss JMX Console. This can be abused by remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server. This module uploads an arbitrary .WAR application to the target in order to deploy an agent on it. On Windows targets, the deployed agent will run with SYSTEM privileges.

Impact
ProFTPD sreplace Buffer Overflow Exploit
ProFTPD is prone to an remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to an off-by-one error, allowing attackers to corrupt memory. Exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the server application, facilitating the compromise of affected computers. ProFTPD versions prior to 1.3.0a are vulnerable to this issue. The FTP server will remain active after a successful exploitation. Exploitation requires a valid user or anonymous account, with a writable directory.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error while reading Telnet IAC. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending an overly long, specially-crafted telnet IAC to the affected server.
An off-by-two heap overflow exists in ProFTPD 1.2.7 to 1.2.9rc1 and 1.2.7p to 1.2.9rc1p. This bug can only be exploited if there is a writable directory on the FTP server. This module uses two different techniques in order to exploit the bug, depending on the glibc version (new glibc versions use a modified malloc implementation). Once the bug has been exploited, full root capabilities are regained (chroot can therefore be broken thanks to the appropriate module).
This module exploits a remote vulnerability in the TCPUploadServer service included in the Movicon 11 application to install an agent by writing and running an executable file.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability during the processing of requested resources to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by requesting a resource with an overly long name.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing PSOProxy. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within PSOProxy 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 exploit PureFTPd service using Bash Command Injection Vulnerability (CVE 2014-6271). The module works if the service is handling the incoming authentication connections via a bash script.
This module exploit PureFTPd service using Bash Command Injection Vulnerability (CVE 2014-6278). The module works if the service is handling the incoming authentication connections via a bash script.
Quick TFTP Server Pro Mode Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Quick TFTP Server Pro when processing a very large mode field in a read or write request and installs an agent if successful. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a very long TFTP Error Packet to both service or standalone versions.
RealNetworks Helix Server AgentX Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in AgentX++, as distributed with Helix Server, by sending multiple blocks of data to the port 705/TCP. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
This module exploits an array overflow vulnerability in RealServers and Helix Servers 8.0 and higher. The bug is present in the code for accessing RealServer's registry (or configuration options), in the constructor for the class ServRegKey (at least in the open source version of Helix Server). The bug occurs when a string is splitted in several substrings, using '.' as separator.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in RealServer 8.0 when constructing error messages. After successful exploitation an agent will be installed.
This exploit simulates a RealVNC client and establishes a connection with a Real VNC server without using a password. After that, it opens a console, writes the exploit and executes it in ntsd.exe
Ricoh DC DL-10 SR10 FTP USER Command Buffer Overflow Exploit
Ricoh DC's DL-10 SR10 FTP Server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling data through the USER command. This can be exploited by supplying a long string of data to the affected command. In order to trigger the vulnerability, the log file of the application must not be empty. The vulnerable version of SR10.exe file is 1.0.0.520
The rpc.statd program passes user-supplied data to the syslog() function as a format string. If there is no input validation of this string, a malicious user can inject machine code to be executed with the privileges of the rpc.statd process, typically root. This is a ONE SHOT exploit. This exploit is able to attack a Redhat and a Suse system in a 'one shot' attack.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the Windows Routing and Remote Access Service. Since the service is hosted inside svchost.exe, a failed exploit attempt can cause other system services to fail as well. A valid username and password is required to exploit this flaw.
RSH Daemon for Windows Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Windows RSH application (rshd.exe). The module sends a specially crafted packet to port 514/tcp and installs an agent if successful.
