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
ISC DHCP Remote DoS
This module exploits a vulnerability in ISC DHCP Server. The vulnerability is caused due to the improper handling of DHCP requests within dhcpd in the "cons_options()" function in options.c. This causes a stack-based buffer corruption by sending a specially crafted DHCP request specifying a maximum message size smaller than 278 bytes. This module, if successful, will leave the DHCP daemon unavailable.
This module exploits the following vulnerability, as described by the CVE database: "A logic error in the IP fragment cache functionality in pf in FreeBSD 5.3, 5.4, and 6.0, and OpenBSD, when a 'scrub fragment crop' or 'scrub fragment drop-ovl' rule is being used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted packets that cause a packet fragment to be inserted twice."
This module exploits the following vulnerability: during a null pointer dereference in relation with special crafted IP datagrams. If the firewall handles such a packet the kernel panics.
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.
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.
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.
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.

MSRPC RRAS Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the Windows Routing and Remote Access Service. Since the service is hosted inside svchost.exe, a failed exploit attempt can cause other system services to fail as well. A valid username and password is required to exploit this flaw.
A vulnerability exists in the TinyMCE editor, included in the tiny browser plugin, which allows uploading files without authentication. This can be exploited to upload files with multiple extensions and execute arbitrary PHP code.

Zabbix Remote Code Execution Exploit
A Remote Code Execution issue has been found in Zabbix version 1.6.2 and no authentication is required in order to exploit this vulnerability. Magic Quotes must be turned off in order to exploit this vulnerability. NOTE: Magic quotes is no longer supported by PHP starting with PHP 6.0
This module exploits a Remote Code Execution vulnerability in Mantis version 1.1.3 caused by Mantis handling the sort parameter in manage_proj_page without the proper validation. This allows for remote code execution on Mantis' Web server. This module starts a web server on the Core Impact Console to publish the agent, which is downloaded from the target.
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.
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.
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.
