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.

NetOp Remote Control Client Buffer Overflow Exploit
A stack-based buffer overflow can be exploited in NetOp Remote Control when opening a crafted .dws file with a string longer then 520 characters.
Input passed via the "page" parameter to index.php is not properly sanitised in the "Router()" function in core/lib/router.php before being used in an "eval()" call. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code.
Microsoft Office Excel RTD Data Record Processing Stack Overwrite Exploit (MS11-021) Update 2
The flaw exists within the methods used for RealTimeData Record Parsing. When handling a stTopic field that has a bit set specifying double byte characters in the following field the value of a global pointer is improperly calculated.
This version adds Windows 7 support and updates the CVE number.
The ExceptionDelegator component of the XWork framework, part of the Apache Struts 2 web framework, as shipped with Atlassian FishEye, interprets parameters values as OGNL expressions when handling a type conversion error.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server by tricking a logged-in user with administrator privileges within the FishEye site to visit a specially crafted web page.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the MSCOMCTL.OCX control by sending a specially crafted .RTF file.
WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs
or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.
Netmechanica NetDecision HTTP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit
A buffer overflow in NetDecision's HTTP service is exploited when a long URL is managed by the HTTP Server's active window. For successfull exploitation, the victim need to have the HttpSvr's window open.
SolarWinds Storage Manager Server SQL Injection Authentication Bypass Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the SolarWinds Storage Manager Server. The LoginServlet page available on port 9000 is vulnerable to SQL injection via the loginName field. An attacker can send a specially crafted username and execute arbitrary SQL commands leading to remote code execution.
Oracle Java AtomicReferenceArray Type Confusion Exploit
Unsafe type handling performed by the AtomicReferenceArray class of the Oracle Java Runtime Environment can be abused to cause a type confusion error.
This flaw allows an unprivileged Java applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user.
IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express for Software ActiveX Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the way the ActiveX Control parses data supplied to the RunAndUploadFile function. The ActiveX control is used to create an Asset Information file for the local system to be uploaded to the IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express Server.
The PAM MOTD module in Ubuntu does not correctly handle path permissions when creating user file stamps. A local attacker can exploit this to gain root privileges.
This update improves the reliability of the exploit.
CA Total Defense UNCWS Web Service exportReport Remote Code Execution Exploit
The UNCWS Web Service component of CA Total Defense listens for SOAP requests. The exportReport method makes use of the uncsp_GenerateReports_Dashboard stored procedure, which is vulnerable to SQL Injection. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable machine with SYSTEM privileges.
CA Total Defense UNCWS Web Service exportReport Remote Code Execution Exploit
The UNCWS Web Service component of CA Total Defense listens for SOAP requests. The exportReport method makes use of the uncsp_GenerateReports_Dashboard stored procedure, which is vulnerable to SQL Injection. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable machine with SYSTEM privileges.

IBM Personal Communications Buffer Overflow Exploit
IBM Personal Communications is prone to a stack based buffer overflow when parsing a malformed WS file. This module exploits this flaw to archive a clientside code execution.
AT TFTP Server Long Filename Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error during the processing of TFTP Read/Write request packet types. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet with an overly long filename field.
This update ensures that the program receives all data.
Microsoft Expression Design wintab32 DLL Hijacking Exploit (MS12-022)
Microsoft Expression Design 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 .DESIGN file.
