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.

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.
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.
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.
Symantec System Center Alert Management System Command Execution Exploit
The AMS2 (Alert Management Systems 2) component of multiple Symantec products is prone to a remote command-execution vulnerability because the software fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input. A remote user can send specially crafted data to TCP port 12174 to execute arbitrary commands on the target system.
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 remote buffer overflow in the SNMPc Network Manager by sending a specially crafted Trap packet with a long Community String to the UDP port 164 and installs an agent if successful.
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.

Exploits / Remote
Impact
Vermillion FTP Daemon Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on installations of Vermillion FTP Daemon, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error with the handling of PORT commands. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted command passed to the affected server.

Impact
VERITAS NetBackup BPJava Exploit
NetBackup Java user-interface is affected by a remote format string vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious request that contains format specifiers. A successful attack may result in crashing the server or lead to arbitrary code execution. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation with SYSTEM or superuser privileges.
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 module exploits a stack based buffer overflow on Sysax Multi Server when parsing an overly long username at the beginning of an SSH session.

Impact
TFTPServer SP Buffer Overflow Exploit
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. and installs an agent if successful. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a very long TFTP Error Packet in service or standalone version.
Yokogawa Centum CS 3000 BKHOdeq Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow in Yokogawa CENTUM CS 3000 by using its BKHOdeq.exe service. The BKHOdeq.exe service, started when running the FCS / Test Function listens by default on TCP/20109, TCP/20171 and UDP/1240. By sending a specially crafted packet to the port TCP/20171 its possible to trigger a stack based buffer overflow which allows execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the CENTUM user.
VirtualMin Dom Parameter Cross Site Scripting Exploit
Input passed to the "dom" parameter in left.cgi and via the URL to virtual-server/link.cgi is not properly sanitized before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
Exploits / Cross Site Scripting (XSS) / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
vBulletin query Cross Site Scripting Exploit
The application is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input to the 'query' parameter of the search pages. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. vBulletin 4.0.2 is vulnerable. This issue does not affect vBulletin 3.x versions.
