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.

VCMS Image Arbitrary Upload Exploit
A unrestricted file upload vulnerability exists in includes/inline_image_upload.php within AutoSec Tools V-CMS 1.0. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with an executable extension and then accessing it via a direct request to the file in temp.
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.

Impact
SSL PCT Handshake Overflow exploit
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Private Communications Transport (PCT) protocol. Systems running any Microsoft SSL capable service are vulnerable.
Steamcast GET Request Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing Steamcast. A boundary error can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted GET HTTP request with an overly long path to the web server.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Sun Web Server Webdav service when parsing OPTION requests. After successful exploitation an agent will be installed. The process being exploited is usually run as root.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing Sunway Force Control SCADA. A buffer-overflow vulnerability affects the httpsvr.exe webserver included in the device. This issue occurs when handling an excessively large URI. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Symantec Client Security 3.x and Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 10.x that allows a remote un-authenticated attacker to compromise the target system and obtain system privileges.
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the awhost32 service included in the Symantec PCAnywhere application by sending a crafted packet with a long username to TCP port 5361.
Sunway Force Control SCADA SMNP NetDBServer Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software using Sunway Force Control SCADA. A stack based buffer overflow in the SNMP NetDBServer service of Sunway Forcecontrol is triggered when sending an overly long string to the listening service on port 2001. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.

Impact
phpBB2 2.0.15 Remote File Inclusion
This module exploits a phpBB2 2.0.15 Remote File Inclusion.
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.

Zen Cart record_company Remote Code Execution Exploit
Zen Cart is prone to a vulnerability that attackers can leverage to execute arbitrary code. This issue occurs in the 'admin/record_company.php' script. Specifically, the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input to the 'frmdt_content' parameter of the 'record_company_image' array.
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
Linux, Mac OS X
