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
Samba lsa_io_trans_names buffer overflow exploit
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).
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.
An unrestricted file upload vulnerability in jhot.php in TikiWiki 1.9.4 Sirius and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a filepath parameter that contains a filename with a .php extension, which is uploaded to the img/wiki/ directory.
tiki-graph_formula.php in TikiWiki 1.9.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via PHP sequences in the f array parameter, which are processed by create_function.
The vulnerability is caused by scripts using "unserialize()" with user controlled input. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code via the "__destruct()" method of the "SugarTheme" class or passing an ad-hoc serialized object through the $_REQUEST['current_query_by_page'] input variable.
Symantec IM Manager IMAdminSchedTask eval Command Injection Exploit
The flaw exists within the ScheduleTask method exposed by the IMAdminSchedTask.asp page hosted on the web interface. This function does not properly sanitize user input from a POST variable before passing it to an eval call. An attacker can abuse this to inject and execute arbitrary ASP under the context of the user visiting the malicious link.
RSH Daemon for Windows Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Windows RSH application (rshd.exe). The module sends a specially crafted packet to port 514/tcp and installs an agent if successful.
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.
SAP Netweaver Message Server _MsJ2EE_AddStatistics Memory Corruption Exploit
The Message Server component of SAP Netweaver is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability when the _MsJ2EE_AddStatistics function handles a specially crafted request with iflag value 0x0c MS_J2EE_SEND_TO_CLUSTERID, or 0x0d MS_J2EE_SEND_BROADCAST. This vulnerability can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server. This exploit bypasses Data Execution Prevention (DEP). Agents installed with this module will run under the SAPService user account.
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.
op5 Appliance contains an input validation flaw related to the system-portal component that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands via command injection.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the Compose Email feature in the Emails module in Sugar Community Edition (aka SugarCRM) before 5.2f allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with only an extension in its name, then accessing the file via a direct request to a modified filename under cache/modules/Emails/, as demonstrated using .php as the entire original name. 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 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.
Wordpress DM Albums Plugin security_file Remote File Inclusion Exploit
Input passed to the SECURITY_FILE parameter in wp-content/plugins/dm-albums/template/album.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or external resources.
