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.

Product Name
Schneider Electric Accutech Manager Heap Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a heap overflow vulnerability in the Schneider Electric Accutech Manager Server by sending a malformed packet to the 2537/TCP port to crash the application.
Schneider Electric Interactive Graphical SCADA System Buffer Overflow Exploit
This Stack-based buffer overflow exploits a vulnerability in Schneider Electric's Interactive Graphical SCADA System (IGSS) that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted packet to TCP port-12397.
Schneider Electric Serial Modbus Driver Buffer Overflow Exploit
The Modbus Serial Driver creates a listener on Port 27700/TCP. When a connection is made, the Modbus Application Header is first read into a buffer. If a large buffer size is specified in this header, a stack-based buffer overflow can be done.
An internal memory buffer may be overrun while handling "site chmod" command with an overly long filename. This condition may be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the serv-u process, typically administrator or system. This bug requires the FTP user to have write privileges on at least one directory to be exploited. The Serv-U server will be left inaccessible after successful exploitation.
Serv-U supports an FTP command, "MDTM", which is used to change a file's modification time. An internal memory buffer may be overrun while handling an malformed time zone as MDTM argument. This condition may be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the serv-u process, typically administrator or system. The Serv-U server will be left inaccessible after successful exploitation.
SIDVault LDAP Server Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the LDAP service (sidvault.exe) of the SIDVault LDAP application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet to port 389/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
SIELCO SISTEMI Winlog Malformed Packet Stack Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing SIELCO SISTEMI Winlog when Run TCP/IP server is enabled in CONFIGURATION-OPTIONS-TCP/IP. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within SIELCO SISTEMI Winlog when processing a malformed request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow in Runtime.exe via a crafted 0x02 opcode packet. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow in Siemens Tecnomatix FactoryLink by sending a malformed packet to CSService listening on port 7580.

Simple Web Server GET Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing Simple Web Server. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Simple 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.

SlimFTPd LIST Command Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
SlimFTPd server is prone to a stack buffer overflow when sending a LIST command with an overly-long argument. The attacker needs to be authenticated, so a successful login is required for the exploit to work.
There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows Messenger service. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code with System privileges. The vulnerability is triggered by sending a malformed message to the vulnerable host. Manipulating the length of the packet allows portions of the heap memory to be overwritten with user defined data.
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the SNMPc Network Manager by sending a specially crafted Trap packet with a long Community String to the UDP port 164 and installs an agent if successful.
This module exploits a buffer overflow on the DCE/RPC processing in the Snort 2.6.1.2 package. For this exploit to work, the DCE/RPC Preprocessor must be active on the configuration file, snort.conf. The agent will normally run as the "root" user.
010 Editor is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named wintab32.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .HEX file. The attacker must entice a victim into opening a specially crafted .HEX file. This file and the associated binary may be delivered to a user through remote WebDAV shares. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.
3D Life Player WebPlayer ActiveX Buffer Overflow Exploit
3D Life Player suffers from an ActiveX stack overflow. The exploit is triggered when the SRC property processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer 6 or 7) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by exploiting this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the PocketNetNVRMediaClientAxCtrl.NVRMediaViewer.1 control. The SaveCurrentImageEx method copies an attacker provided filename into a fixed size buffer. This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by exploiting this vulnerability.
A-PDF WAV to MP3 Converter Buffer Overflow Exploit
A-PDF WAV to MP3 Converter contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an crafted WAV file. This module runs a malicious web server on the Core Impact Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to it.
