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.

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.
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).
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.
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.
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).
The BlogAPI module does not validate the extension of files that it is used to upload, enabling users with the "administer content with blog api" permission to upload harmful files. This module uploads an Core Impact agent, creates a php file to execute the agent and then makes a request to the file. The result is an Core Impact agent running on the webserver.
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.
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.
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.
Landesk Gateway Web Interface Command Injection Exploit
The LANDesk web application does not sufficiently verify if a well-formed request was created by the user whose browser submitted the request. Using this flaw an external remote attacker can use a Cross-site Request Forgery attack via a user with a LANDesk session to run arbitrary code using the gsbadmin user (that is the user running the web-server), the gsbadmin user has sudo privileges.
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.
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.

LotusCMS Router PHP Command Injection Exploit
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.
Safenet SoftRemote IKE Service Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow in the Safenet IKE Service (included in several VPN clients) by sending a specially crafted packet to UDP port 62514.
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.
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.

Mambo output Remote File Inclusion Exploit
This exploits attacks Mambo 4.6.4 software. A remote file inclusion vulnerability is present in Mambo. /includes/Cache/Lite/Output.php doesn't sanitize the $mosConfig_absolute_path before using it in an include.
FCKeditor 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.
