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.

Product Name
PHP memory_limit exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the memory_limit function in PHP and installs a level0 agent.
An internal memory buffer may be overrun while handling long "USER" command. This condition may be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the NetTerm NetFTPD.exe process.
This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in the Zope web application server used by Plone, by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected web site.
The vulnerability exists because it is possible to remotely invoke the popen2 function from the Python os package with arbitrary arguments in the context of the affected server. This can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable machine.
Colorlight LEDVISION 3.62 Remote Denial of Service
Remote Denial Of Service in Colorlight LEDVISION. Specially crafted packets may also be sent to LEDVISION port 6000 (default), result in a denial-of-service.

FreeFloat FTP Server Reply Buffer Overflow Exploit
FreeFloat FTP server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling overly long replies.
Httpdx FTP Server tolog() Function Format String Exploit
This module exploits a format string vulnerability in HTTPDX FTP server by sending a specially crafted FTP command, corrupting the memory and executing arbitrary code.
Arcserve UDP from version 7.0 to 9.0 allows authentication bypass. The method getVersionInfo in WebServiceImpl/services/FlashServiceImpl exposes the AuthUUID token. This token can be used at /WebServiceImpl/services/VirtualStandbyServiceImpl to obtain a valid session. It is also possible to obtain administrator credentials.
This vulnerability in Jenkins allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files in the Jenkins controller's file system. It arises from a function in the CLI command parser that replaces an '@' character followed by a file path with the file's content. By exploiting this vulnerability, attackers can gain unauthorized access to sensitive files and compromise the system's integrity.
Easy Chat Server Authentication Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
A remote user of vulnerable installations of Easy Chat Server can send a specially crafted password parameter to chat.ghp to trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Oracle WebLogic Server is prone to a remote vulnerability due to deserialization of untrusted inputs, allowing attackers to instantiate arbitrary Java objects leading to remote code execution.
This update avoids a very long attack sequence when first try fails.
Microsoft Windows SMB Pool Overflow DoS (MS10-054)
This module exploits a Windows kernel remote vulnerability on the srv.sys driver via a malformed SMB packet.
It could allow an attacker to connect to a shared folder and send a specially crafted SMB message to an affected system exploiting the target and installing an agent.
Tp-link EAP Controller does not handle privilege management correctly so a non privileged user can execute privileged actions. This module will try to change the device's settings and enable ssh in order to take control of the managed Access Points.

MyBB Privilege Escalation Exploit
A vulnerability has been reported in MyBB, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks. Input passed via the "birthdayprivacy" parameter to inc/datahandlers/user.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. Successful exploitation requires a valid user account. The vulnerability is reported in MyBB 1.4.x versions prior to 1.4.7.
Apache CouchDB Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
Apache CouchDB contains an Authentication Bypass vulnerability and a OS Command Injection vulnerability, which allows attackers to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system.

OpenSite 2.1 Weak Authentication Exploit
This module exploits an authentication vulnerability in OpenSite 2.1. The function init in origin/libs/user.php checks for a matching origin_hash cookie. However, this cookie can be bruteforced in at most 2^32 tries for a known username. Actually, the number of attempts could be significantly reduced knowing that we do not have to check for time in the future, and long past. This works for OpenSite 2.1 and below.
