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.

Exploit Platform
Exploit Type
Product Name
Sun Java Web SOCKS Proxy Authentication Exploit
After successful exploitation an agent will be deployed. This agent will inherit the user identity and capabilities of the abused service, usually root.
This module exploits a local privilege escalation vulnerability in certain packages shipped with Sun xVM VirtualBox for the Linux platform. After successful exploitation an agent running as root will be installed.
This exploit sends messages of 256 bytes to "cam.exe" service in order to fill all target memory with the exploit code. The last message forces a buffer overflow and executes the code sent embedded in the previous messages.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on a server running Mini HTTPD. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Mini HTTPD when processing HTTP GET Request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
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.
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.
This module exploits a command injection error in the function runScripts in vdccm (SynCE daemon), reached through a information message remote request. For this exploit to work, there must be at least one script file on the SynCE scripts directory.
Sync Breeze Server Login Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing Sync Breeze Server. A remote user can send specially crafted data to TCP port 9121 to trigger a stack overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Impact
TurboFTP Server PORT Command Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in TurboFTP Server. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted PORT command to port TCP/21.
Buffer overflow in libtelnet/encrypt.c in Inetutils and Heimdal implementations of telnetd allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with root permissions via a long encryption key.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Trend Micro OfficeScan Corporate Edition. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Trend Micro OfficeScan Corporate Edition when processing passwords with cgiChkMasterPwd.exe vulnerable module. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to this module.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the handling of Error Packet for overwrite all the .bss section and some portion of the .idata section. An agent is installed if successful. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a very long TFTP Error Packet in service or standalone version.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing MiniShare. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within MiniShare when processing HTTP GET Request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
Local File Inclusion vulnerability in admin/index.php in TinyWebGallery 1.7.6 and earlier, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to include local files via the lang parameter, which leads to execute arbitrary PHP code by injecting data into the log files.
Tectia SSH Server Authentication Bypass Remote Code Execution Exploit
The SSH USERAUTH CHANGE REQUEST feature in SSH Tectia Server on UNIX and Linux, when old-style password authentication is enabled, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a crafted session involving entry of blank passwords.
An internal memory buffer may be overrun while handling long "APPE" command. This condition may be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the ftpbasicsvr.exe process. UplusFtp server will be left inaccessible after successful exploitation.

VERITAS Backup Exec Agent exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in VERITAS Backup Exec Remote Agent 9.0 through 10.0 for Windows, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a CONNECT_CLIENT_AUTH request with authentication method type 3 (Windows credentials) and a long password argument. This module only works with localagent set as source.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing SurgeMail Mail Server. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within SurgeMail Mail Server. A buffer overflow vulnerability is located in the function which handles the real CGI executables. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to this module.
Symantec AMS Intel Alert Service AMSSendAlertAck Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Symantec AMS Intel Alert Handler Service and install an agent into the target machine.
