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.

HP OpenView NNM jovgraph displayWidth Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the jovgraph.exe CGI application, a component of HP OpenView Network Node Manager, by sending a specially crafted packet.
HP OpenView NNM nnmRptConfig CGI Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the nnmRptConfig.exe CGI application, a component of HP OpenView Network Node Manager, by sending a specially crafted packet.
HP OpenView NNM nnmRptConfig schd_select1 CGI Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the nnmRptConfig.exe CGI application, a component of HP OpenView Network Node Manager, by sending a specially crafted packet.
HP OpenView NNM nnmRptConfig Template CGI Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the nnmRptConfig.exe CGI application, a component of HP OpenView Network Node Manager, by sending a specially crafted packet.
Microsoft Office Excel RTD Data Record Processing Stack Overwrite Exploit (MS11-021) Update
The flaw exists within the methods used for RealTimeData Record Parsing. When handling a stTopic field has a bit set specifying double byte characters in the following field the value of a global pointer is improperly calculated.
Microsoft Office Excel RTD Data Record Processing Stack Overwrite Exploit (MS11-021)
The flaw exists within the methods used for RealTimeData Record Parsing. When handling a stTopic field has a bit set specifying double byte characters in the following field the value of a global pointer is improperly calculated.
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
Microsoft Windows SMB Browser Pool Corruption Vulnerability DoS (MS11-019)
This module exploits a vulnerability on "mrxsmb.sys"/"bowser.sys" when a "Browser Election Request Packet" is sent to the "Active Directory" service running in the target.
Adobe Flash Player SWF File Memory Corruption Exploit Update
Adobe Flash Player is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted .SWF file, which can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable machines by convincing an unsuspecting user to visit a malicious web site.
This vulnerability has been found exploited in-the-wild during April 2011.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the GenVersion.dll module included in the Iconics Genesis 32 application. The exploit is triggered when the SetActiveXGUID() method processes a malformed argument resulting in a memory corruption.

Microsoft PowerPoint Invalid TimeColorBehaviorContainer Record Code Execution Exploit Update
Microsoft Powerpoint parses a record associated with animation. If a container holds a specific record type, the application will explicitly trust a length used in this record to calculate a pointer for copying floating point numbers to. This can be used to write outside of an allocated buffer and will lead to code execution under the context of the application.
This module exploits a stack overflow vulnerability in proftpd in order to install an agent. The vulnerability is within the function pr_netio_telnet_gets(). The issue is triggered when processing specially crafted Telnet IAC packets delivered to the FTP server.
Bugtracker.net edit_comment Cross Site Scripting Exploit
The application fails to sanitize the bug_id parameter in several pages such as edit_comment and edit_bug, leading to a cross site scripting vulnerability.
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer with a vulnerable StubbyUtil.InstallerDlg.1 ActiveX Control) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by sending a specially crafted HTML page which exploits the Real Networks Arcade Game's ActiveX control. ActiveX Control Remote Code Execution Vulnerability.
A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the DECT dissector of Wireshark.
A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause the Wireshark executable to crash or potentially to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Wireshark.

Novell File Reporter Agent XML Tag Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Novell File Reporter. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted packet to port TCP/3037.
GenBroker runs as a Windows service on port 38080 when Iconics Genesis 32 is installed. This service is affected by an integer overflow vulnerability during the handling of inbound packets, caused by the allocation of the memory needed for the creation of an array trusting the number of elements passed by the client.
The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors in Wordtrainer 3.0 within the processing of .ORD files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when the victim opens a specially crafted file with an overly long supplied data.
