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.

Microsoft Internet Explorer XML Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This update improves the reliability of the exploit and adds support for Windows Vista.
The Ultra Office Control ActiveX control (OfficeCtrl.ocx) is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web page that passes an overly long string to the HttpUpload() method, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the current user or cause the victim's browser to crash.
A security vulnerability with the way XnView processes TAAC files may allow a remote unprivileged user who provides a TAAC document that is opened or previewed by a local user to execute arbitrary commands on the system with the privileges of the user running XnView. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened or previewed in XnView.
Microsoft Visual Basic VBP File Processing Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Visual Basic 6 .vbp files. The vulnerability is caused due to boundary error in VB6.EXE within the processing of VBP archives. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened.
This module exploits a integer overflow vulnerability in the xpdf and libpoppler software included in most linux distributions. The vulnerability is caused by a integer overflow in the predictor calculation, which causes a buffer overflow in the stack of the StreamPredictor::getNextLine() function. The exploit is triggered when an unsuspecting user opens a specially crafted file distributed via an email.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the kwedit.dll control included in the EnjoySAP application. The exploit is triggered when the PrepareToPostHTML() method processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. 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.
Disk Pulse Enterprise Import Command Local Buffer Overflow Exploit
A Buffer Overflow exists when parsing .XML files by Command Import. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .XML files.
Stack-based buffer overflows in CyberLink LabelPrint 2.5 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the (1) author (inside the INFORMATION tag), (2) name (inside the INFORMATION tag), (3) artist (inside the TRACK tag), or (4) default (inside the TEXT tag) parameter in an lpp project file.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Wecon LeviStudioU UserManage. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within processing of EPC files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer.
Microsoft Internet Explorer Typed Array Detached ArrayBuffer Use-After-Free Exploit (MS16-063)
Internet Explorer is prone to a use-after-free vulnerability when trying to access the ArrayBuffer that was backing a Typed Array after it has been detached by transferring it to a Web Worker by calling the postMessage() function.
This vulnerability can be abused by an attacker to execute arbitrary code on systems running vulnerable versions of Internet Explorer.
WECON LeviStudio PLC HmiSet Type Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of WECON LeviStudio. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists in the handling of LeviStudio Project files. By providing an overly long HmiSet Type XML attribute, an attacker can overflow a stack-based buffer and execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
Microsoft MDAC RDS.Dataspace ActiveX Control Exploit
The RDS.Dataspace ActiveX control includes a method that can create an instance of an ActiveX control that exists on the system. The ActiveX objects created in this manner will bypass the ActiveX security model. In particular, the "safe for scripting" and killbit options are ignored. Note that in default configurations of Internet Explorer, the RDS.Dataspace ActiveX control cannot be loaded in the Internet Zone.
The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors in libpurple.dll within the processing of MSNSLP messages. This can be exploited to cause an arbitrary write without user interaction.
This module updates the MSN library, because of minor changes in the handling of the HTTP encapsulation of the MSN protocol within the Microsoft MSN server.
The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors in libpurple.dll within the processing of MSNSLP messages. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow without user interaction.
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.
