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
WeBid converter Remote Code Execution Exploit
Vulnerable code to arbitrary PHP code jnjection (works with magic_quotes_gpc = off) in /includes/converter.inc.php.
phpMyAdmin is vulnerable to a remote code execution due the use of the unserialize method on user supplied data. This data is written in the config file and is accessible from the internet by default.
This exploit simulates a RealVNC client and establishes a connection with a Real VNC server without using a password. After that, it opens a console, writes the exploit and executes it in ntsd.exe
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
phpBB2 2.0.15 Remote File Inclusion
This module exploits a phpBB2 2.0.15 Remote File Inclusion.
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.
RealNetworks Helix Server AgentX Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in AgentX++, as distributed with Helix Server, by sending multiple blocks of data to the port 705/TCP. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
This module exploits an array overflow vulnerability in RealServers and Helix Servers 8.0 and higher. The bug is present in the code for accessing RealServer's registry (or configuration options), in the constructor for the class ServRegKey (at least in the open source version of Helix Server). The bug occurs when a string is splitted in several substrings, using '.' as separator.
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.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in RealServer 8.0 when constructing error messages. After successful exploitation an agent will be installed.
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
Impact
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
Eval injection vulnerability in reserve.php in phpScheduleIt 1.2.10 and earlier, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the start_date parameter.
Static code injection vulnerability in setup.php in phpMyAdmin 2.11.x before 2.11.9.5 and 3.x before 3.1.3.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary PHP code into a configuration file via the save action.
Input passed to the "orderby" parameter in cmd.php (when "cmd" is set to "query_engine", "query" is set to "none", and "search" is set to e.g. "1") is not properly sanitised in lib/functions.php before being used in a "create_function()" function call. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.
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.
Oracle VM Server Virtual Server Agent Command Injection Exploit
By including shell meta characters within the second parameter to the 'urt_test_url' XML-RPC methodCall, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands. The service typically runs with root privileges.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on vulnerable installations of Oracle Secure Backup. User interaction is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists in the logic used to authenticate a user to the administration server running on port 443. The script login.php does not properly sanitize the 'username' variable before using it in a database query. A specially crafted 'username' allows unauthorized attackers to log in with full administrative capabilities.
The vulnerability is caused due to the banner-edit.php script allowing the upload of files with arbitrary extensions to a folder inside the webroot. This can be exploited to e.g. execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a specially crafted PHP script that contains the GIF magic number.
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.
