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.

Apple QuickTime _Marshaled_pUnk Backdoor Param Arbitrary Code Execution Exploit Update
QuickTime has a backdoor in QTPlugin.ocx implemented during development cycle, this can be used by execute arbitrary code under the context of the browser. This version add CVE.
Microsoft Windows OpenType Font Double Free DoS (MS10-091)
A double free vulnerability in the OpenType Font (OTF) driver in Windows could allow local users to escalate their privileges via a specially crafted OpenType font.
IBM Lotus Domino NSFComputeEvaluateExt Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in IBM Lotus Domino by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the Web Administration Interface.
Windows
Exploits/Remote
Impact
NetSupport Manager Agent Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow in Netsupport Agent via a long control hostname to TCP port 5405.
This module exploits a path traversal vulnerability in Novell ZENworks Asset Management. The specific flaw exists within a servlet provided within the Novell Zenworks distribution for uploading files. When processing the path name for the file, the servlet will allow a user to inject path traversal entities into the filename. Then, when the servlet downloads the provided file, the destination will store it to the user-provided location.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Pointdev IDEAL Administration, when importing a project file, may allow a remote unprivileged user who provides a crafted IPJ document that is opened by a local user to execute code on the system with the privileges of the user running Pointdev IDEAL Administration. This can be exploited to cause a stack based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is imported.
Windows
Exploits/Client Side
Impact
Mac OS X i386_set_ldt Vulnerability Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability on "i386_set_ldt" function of "mach_kernel" creating a "call gate" entry in the LDT.
IBM Lotus Domino iCalendar Attachment Name Buffer Overflow Exploit
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the nRouter.exe component of IBM Lotus Domino when parsing the filename of an attachment within an iCalendar invitation. This can be exploited by a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted e-mail to the Lotus Domino SMTP server. This module bypasses Data Execution Prevention (DEP) in order to install an agent on the target machine.
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in eyeOS 2.3 can be exploited to execute arbitrary JavaScript.

Microsoft Office Excel RTD Data Record Processing Stack Overwrite Exploit (MS11-021) Update
The flaw exists within the methods used for RealTimeData Record Parsing. When handling a stTopic field has a bit set specifying double byte characters in the following field the value of a global pointer is improperly calculated. This version add Windows 7 support.
Microsoft Office Excel RTD Data Record Processing Stack Overwrite Exploit (MS11-021)
The flaw exists within the methods used for RealTimeData Record Parsing. When handling a stTopic field has a bit set specifying double byte characters in the following field the value of a global pointer is improperly calculated. 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.

Microsoft PowerPoint Invalid TimeColorBehaviorContainer Record Code Execution Exploit Update
Microsoft Powerpoint parses a record associated with animation. If a container holds a specific record type, the application will explicitly trust a length used in this record to calculate a pointer for copying floating point numbers to.
