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.

Exploits/Remote
Impact
FireFly Media Server Remote Format String Exploit
This module exploits a remote format string vulnerability in FireFly Media Server by sending a sequence of HTTP requests to the 3689/TCP port.
SugarCRM CE unserialize PHP Code Execution Exploit
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.
IBM Cognos tm1admsd Multiple Operations Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability exists within the tm1admsd.exe component Of IBM Cognos TM1. This process listens on TCP port 5498 by default. Multiple opcodes fail to validate user supplied length and data fields before copying their contents to a fixed length buffer on the stack.
Oracle Java AtomicReferenceArray Type Confusion Exploit Update
Unsafe type handling performed by the AtomicReferenceArray class of the Oracle Java Runtime Environment can be abused to cause a type confusion error. 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.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Keyboard Layout Vulnerability Exploit (MS12-047)
This update replaces the exploit modules for MS12-034. Also it adds support for 64bit versions of Microsoft Windows 2003, Vista and 2008. This module exploits a Windows kernel vulnerability by loading a fake keyboard layout through a call to "NtUserLoadKeyboardLayoutEx" function with crafted parameters. When the keyboard layout is processed by win32k.sys, it produces a kernel heap memory corruption.
Microsoft Windows Print Spooler Service Impersonation Exploit (MS10-061) Update 3
This update adds support to Microsoft Windows 2003 64 bits, Microsoft Windows Vista 64 bits, Microsoft Windows 2008 64 bits and Microsoft Windows Seven 64 bits. This module exploits a vulnerability in the "Print Spooler" service.
Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Protocol DoS (MS12-036)
This modules exploits a kernel vulnerability in Microsoft Remote Desktop server by sending a sequence of specially crafted RDP packets to the target system. 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.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing the tags within .PAC files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long string. This update adds CVE number.
On Intel CPUs, sysret to non-canonical addresses causes a fault on the sysret instruction itself after the stack pointer is set to guest value but before the current privilege level (CPL) is changed. FreeBSD is vulnerable to this issue due to insufficient sanity checks when returning from a system call. This module exploits the vulnerability and installs an agent with root privileges.
Netmechanica NetDecision HTTP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
A buffer overflow in NetDecision's HTTP service is exploited when a long URL is managed by the HTTP Server's active window. For successfull exploitation, the victim need to have the HttpSvr's window open. This version add CVE.
