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.

Exploit Type
Product Name
e107 Install Script Command Injection Exploit
e107 CMS is vulnerable to a command injection in its installation script due to a lack of sanitization on the MySQL server parameter.
Symantec IM Manager IMAdminSchedTask eval Command Injection Exploit
The flaw exists within the ScheduleTask method exposed by the IMAdminSchedTask.asp page hosted on the web interface. This function does not properly sanitize user input from a POST variable before passing it to an eval call. An attacker can abuse this to inject and execute arbitrary ASP under the context of the user visiting the malicious link.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the waHTTP.exe (SAP DB Web Server) component included with the SAP DB. The exploit is triggered by sending an unauthenticated, specially crafted HTTP request to the default port 9999/TCP.
Sami FTP Server Authentication Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on installations of Sami FTP Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the authentication process. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending an overly long, specially-crafted password to the affected server and waiting for the administrator of Sami FTP Server to set focus on the GUI of the program in order to deploy an agent.
This module exploits a command injection error in Samba 3. For this exploit to work, the "username map script" option must be enabled on smb.conf, the samba configuration file. The agent will normally run as the "nobody" user, and will have limited capabilities.
An anonymous user can gain remote root access due to a buffer overflow caused by a StrnCpy() into a char array (fname) using a non-constant length (namelen).
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability when parsing RPC requests through the LSA RPC interface in Samba 3.x. The exploit is triggered by sending a specially crafted RPC LsarLookupSids request to a vulnerable computer. After successful exploitation an agent will be deployed. This agent will inherit the user identity and capabilities of the samba server. However, the euid (as opposite to the uid) of the agent may be not that of the super user (usually is "nobody"), and by using the setuid module (see setuid module documentation), it can be changed to zero (root).
osCommerce is prone to an arbitrary-file-upload vulnerability because it fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to upload arbitrary code and execute it in the context of the webserver process. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation; other attacks are also possible.
Exploits / Remote File Inclusion / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Open Web Analytics IP Remote File Inclusion Exploit
Input passed to the IP parameter in mw_plugin.php is not properly sanitised before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local and remote resources via directory traversal attacks and URL-encoded NULL bytes. The vulnerable version is 1.2.3 and below.
Exploits / Remote File Inclusion / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
nuBuilder Remote File Inclusion Exploit
Report.php fails to sanitize user input data on StartingDirectory parameter when used in an include. The vulnerable version is 10.04.x.
Exploits / Remote File Inclusion / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
Drupal SQL Injection Exploit
This module exploits a SQL Injection vulnerability in Drupal.An attacker can send a specially crafted data and execute arbitrary SQL commands leading to remote code execution.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
pPim Remote File Inclusion Exploit
This exploits attacks pPim 1.0 software. By creating a specially crafted link an attacker can run arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server process.
Exploits / Remote File Inclusion / Known Vulnerabilities
Register an IOS Agent for executing modules and/or commands on a Network Device, exploiting an authorization vulnerability in HTTP administration interface of the Network Device.
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 worker 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. This exploit bypasses Data Execution Prevention (DEP). Agents installed with this module will run under the SAPServiceSNP user account.
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.
include/imageObjectIM.class.php in Coppermine Photo Gallery (CPG) before 1.4.15, when the ImageMagick picture processing method is configured, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the (1) quality, (2) angle, or (3) clipval parameter to picEditor.php.
