Library of expert validated exploits for safe and effective pen tests
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. Whether written by our own internal team or by a third party like ExCraft, 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
HP Easy Printer Care XMLSimpleAccessor Class ActiveX Control Code Execution Exploit
This module allows remote attackers to place arbitrary files on a users file system by abusing the "saveXML" method from the "XMLSimpleAccessor" class in the HP Easy Printer HPTicketMgr.dll ActiveX Control (HPTicketMgr.dll 2.7.2.0). Code execution can be achieved by first uploading the payload to the remote machine embedding a vbs file, and then upload another mof file, which enables Windows Management Instrumentation service to execute the vbs.
This module exploits a vulnerability in McAfee Virtual Technician MVTControl, which can be abused by using the GetObject() function to load unsafe classes, therefore allowing remote code execution under the context of the user.

Impact
Oracle Outside In sccfut dll Buffer Overflow Exploit
The flaw exists within the sccfut.dll component which is used by multiple vendors. The process copies the target of a crafted tag to a local stack buffer.
SAP Netweaver DiagTraceR3Info Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
The DiagTraceR3Info function of the disp+work.exe component of SAP Netweaver is prone to a remote buffer overflow when the work process trace level is set to values 2 or 3 for the Dialog Processor component. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable machine by sending a specially crafted packet containing ST_R3INFO CODEPAGE items.
IBM Rational ClearQuest RegisterSchemaRepoFromFileByDbSet ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
IBM Rational ClearQuest ActiveX control Cqole.dll is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by a function prototype mismatch in the RegisterSchemaRepoFromFileByDbSet() function.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the NSEPA.NsepaCtrl.1 ActiveX control in Nsepa.ocx in Citrix Access Gateway Enterprise Edition. When the control processes a crafted HTTP header data, a stack based buffer overflow occurs allowing execution of arbitrary code.
CA Total Defense UNCWS Web Service deleteReportFilter Remote Code Execution Exploit
The UNCWS Web Service component of CA Total Defense listens for SOAP requests. The deleteReportFilter method makes use of the uncsp_DeleteFilter stored procedure, which is vulnerable to SQL Injection.
CA Total Defense UNCWS Web Service DeleteReports Remote Code Execution Exploit
The UNCWS Web Service component of CA Total Defense listens for SOAP requests. The DeleteReports method makes use of the uncsp_DeleteReports 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.
Microsoft Windows OLE Property Code Execution Exploit (MS11-093)
Microsoft Windows does not properly handle OLE objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted object within a file.
ASUS Net4Switch ipswcom ActiveX Buffer Overflow Exploit
ASUS Net4Switch is prone to an overflow condition related to the ActiveX component ipswcom.dll. The CxDbgPrint()function (cxcmrt.dll) fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted message string passed to the Alert() method, a remote attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
The CrazyTalk4Native.dll bundled with Dell Webcam Central is prone to a buffer overflow which is exploited by this module.

Microsoft Windows Win32k Keyboard Layout Vulnerability Exploit (MS12-034) Update 3
This update adds support to Microsoft Windows XP with the MS12-034 patch installed. This module exploits a Windows kernel vulnerability by loading a fake keyboard layout through a call to "NtUserLoadKeyboardLayoutEx" function with crafted parameters. When the keyboard layout is processed by win32k.sys, it produces a kernel heap memory corruption.
OpenKM allows administrative users (those having the AdminRole) to run bean shell scripts. Due to this permission an attacker could lure an OpenKM administrator to a malicious web page that causes arbitrary OS commands to run in the administrators OpenKM session context.
