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
SQL Server Hello exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft SQL Server. After successful exploitation an agent will be installed.
A vulnerability exists in the ManagementAgentServer.putFile XMLRPC call exposed by the as_agent.exe service, which allows for uploading arbitrary files under the server root. This module abuses the auto deploy feature in the JBoss as_ste.exe instance in order to achieve remote code execution. Abused services listen on a single machine deployment, and also in the backend role in a multiple machine deployment.
Stack buffer overflow in the ntlm_check_auth function for Squid Web Proxy Cache 2.5.x and 3.x, when compiled with NTLM handlers enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
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.
The map_yp_alias function in functions/imap_general.php in SquirrelMail before 1.4.18 and NaSMail before 1.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a username string that is used by the ypmatch program. This module works if map:map_yp_alias is set as the imap server address in config.php, which is not the default setting.
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in Symantec Web Gateway by using a log injection and a local file inclusion to run an arbitrary PHP script.
Report.php fails to sanitize user input data on StartingDirectory parameter when used in an include. The vulnerable version is 10.04.x.

Impact
Xoops mydirname Remote Code Execution Exploit
Input passed to the mydirname parameter in xoops_lib/modules/protector/oninstall.php, xoops_lib/modules/protector/onupdate.php, xoops_lib/modules/protector/notification.php, and xoops_lib/modules/protector/onuninstall.php is not properly sanitised before being used in an eval() statement. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code. Successful exploitation requires that register_globals is enabled.

Impact
Testlink login Cross Site Scripting Exploit
A cross-site scripting vulnerability is present in TestLink before 1.8.5 allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the req parameter to login.php.
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.
Wordpress NextGEN Gallery Plugin Cross Site Scripting Exploit
This vulnerability results from an unsanitized input that can be crafted into an attack by manipulating the 'mode' parameter of the xml/media-rss.php script of NextGen Gallery plugin installation. Version 1.5.1 is verified as vulnerable. Older versions are probably affected too, but they were not tested at this time. Currently only Internet Explorer (version 6,7 and 8 with XSS filter disabled) is verified as vulnerable.
