Library of expert validated exploits for safe and effective pen tests
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. Whether written by our own internal team or by a third party like ExCraft, 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.

ABB MicroSCADA Wserver Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability is a buffer overflow and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of ABB MicroSCADA Wserver without authentication. The specific flaw exists within the wserver.exe component which listens on TCP port 12221. This component performs insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data which results in stack buffer ovreflow.

Impact
Microsoft Windows Win32k Integer Overflow DoS (MS13-101)
This module exploits a vulnerability in win32k.sys by calling to "NtGdiGetTextExtent" function with crafted parameters. WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.
This module exploits two vulnerabilities in HP SiteScope to gain remote code execution. The first vulnerability is an authentication bypass in the getSiteScopeConfiguration operation available through the APISiteScopeImpl AXIS service to grab the administrator credentials from the server running HP SiteScope. The second vulnerability is a directory traversal in the UploadFileHandler url that allows to upload files to the server into a directory that allows for scripting. This update only adds CVE number.
This module exploits a Use-After-Free vulnerability in Adobe Reader when handling a specially crafted PDF file. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site. WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations.
Corel PaintShop Pro X5 dwmapi DLL Insecure Library Loading Exploit
Corel Paint Shop Pro is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named dwmapi.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .JPG file.
Microsoft Windows NFS NULL Dereference DoS (MS13-014) Update 2
This modules exploits a Windows kernel vulnerability in "nfssvr.sys" by sending a NFS file renaming crafted request to the target. This update adds support to Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and IPv6 attacks.
The ShortComponentRaster.verify() method in Oracle Java versions prior to 7u25 holds a memory corruption vulnerability that allows the bypassing of "dataOffsets[]" boundary checks. This module exploits such vulnerability allowing for remote code execution.

Microsoft Internet Explorer NonQuotedCmdLine Protected Mode Escape Exploit (MS13-055)
An error in the way the GetSanitizedParametersFromNonQuotedCmdLine() function in the Internet Explorer broker process handles command-line arguments when trying to launch a program can be exploited to escape from the Internet Explorer Protected Mode sandbox. This module allows an agent running in the context of iexplore.exe with Low Integrity Level to escalate privileges in order to install a new agent that will run with Medium Integrity Level.
Microsoft Windows Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service DoS (MS13-079)
This module exploits a vulnerability in "Microsoft Windows Active Directory Lightweight Directory" service by sending UDP requests to the LDAP port (usually 389) and then sending ICMP error messages producing a LDAP Stop Responding behavior.
Apple Mac OS X Samba NetWkstaTransportEnum Request Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Mac OS X Samba server. When a specially crafted call to "NetWkstaTransportEnum" RPC function is processed by the Samba server, it produces a heap overflow. This update adds support to Mac OSX 10.6.0 to 10.6.7 ( Server and not server versions ). Besides, this update improves the exploitation by reverting the Samba server impersonation and installing an agent with root privileges in all Mac OSX supported versions.
HP System Management iprange Parameter Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a Buffer Overflow on HP System Management. The vulnerability exists when handling a crafted iprange parameter on a request against /proxy/DataValidation.
The ByteComponentRaster.verify() method in Oracle Java versions prior to 7u25 holds a memory corruption vulnerability that allows the bypassing of "dataOffsets[]" boundary checks. This module exploits such vulnerability allowing for remote code execution.
Microsoft Word TIFF Files Handling Memory Corruption Exploit
The vulnerability is a memory corruption caused due to an error when parsing TIFF files within the Microsoft Graphics Component (GDI+). This update adds support for Windows Seven sp1 and 64 bits.
Ultra Mini HTTPD Stack Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
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. Arbitrary code can be directly executed by overwriting a return address. This update only adds CVE Number.
