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.

Exploit Type
Product Name
IBM SPSS SamplePower C1sizer ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability when handling the TabCaption buffer, C1sizer.ocx does not properly check the size before running lstrcatA and therefore will cause a buffer overflow.
Novell ZENworks Mobile Management Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Novell ZENworks Mobile Management application by injecting code in the PHP session file and leveraging a Local File Inclusion in mdm.php to execute the injected PHP code.
Oracle Java Font Handling Remote Code Execution Exploit
A specific flaw exists within the handling of CFF-based OpenType fonts. The issue lies in two operators that allow for reading and writing elements beyond the allocated buffers. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
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.
The DRDA protocol dissector in Wireshark can enter an infinite loop when processing an specially crafted DRDA packet with the iLength field set to 0, causing Wireshark to stop responding.
EMC AlphaStor Library Control Program Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the AlphaStor Library Control Program when processing commands and can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.
This module abuses a vulnerability in phpMyAdmin 3.5.x before 3.5.8 and 4.x before 4.0.0-rc3 that allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a /e\x00 sequence, which is not properly handled before making a preg_replace function call within the "Replace table prefix" feature.
Light HTTPD is prone to a buffer overflow when handling specially crafted GET request packets.

Impact
Microsoft Windows Win32k Divide Error Exception DoS (MS13-046)
This module exploits a Windows kernel vulnerability calling to "NtGdiScaleViewportExtEx" function by using 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.
ERDAS ER Viewer ERM_convert_to_correct_webpath Buffer Overflow Exploit
A Buffer Overflow exists within ERDAS ER Viewer due to a boundary error within the ERM_convert_to_correct_webpath() function in (ermapper_u.dll) when parsing file paths via a specially crafted ERS file.
Schneider Electric Accutech Manager Heap Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a heap overflow vulnerability in the Schneider Electric Accutech Manager Server by sending a malformed packet to the 2537/TCP port to execute arbitrary code or crash the server.
BigAnt IM Server DDNF Username Buffer Overflow Exploit
BigAnt IM Server is vulnerable to a buffer-overflow within the AntDS.exe component when handling an overly long username.

Impact
HP Intelligent Management Center mibFileUpload Servlet Remote Exploit
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in HP Intelligent Management Center by using the "mibFileUpload" servlet to upload an arbitrary .JSP file.
A Buffer overflow against the com_print_typeinfo function in PHP running on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted arguments that trigger incorrect handling of COM object VARIANT types.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Font Parsing Vulnerability DoS (MS13-036)
This module exploits a vulnerability in Windows kernel (win32k.sys) when a crafted TTF font is open. 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.
An error in the way that Java implements dynamic binding can be abused to overwrite public final fields. This flaw allows an unprivileged Java applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user. 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.
