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.

XOOPS mydirname Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a lack of data sanitization when passed to the "mydirname" parameter in specific modules of XOOP web application. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code to deploy an agent. Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
SolarWinds Dameware Mini Remote Control Unauthenticated RCE Exploit
The Solarwinds Dameware Mini Remote Client agent supports smart card authentication by default which allows a user to upload an executable to be executed on the DWRCS.exe host. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can request smart card login and upload and execute an arbitrary executable.
Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Protocol BlueKeep DoS
A Denial of Service exists in Remote Desktop Services formerly known as Terminal Services when an unauthenticated attacker connects to the target system using RDP and sends specially crafted requests.
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.
HP OpenView Ovalarmsrv Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the ovalarmsrv module of the HP OpenView Network NodeManager application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet to port 2954/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful. This module works disabling DEP on Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition sp2 in the context of the vulnerable application.
Sun ONE Web Server-NSS challenge overflow exploit update
A heap overflow in Netscape Network Security Services (NSS) library used by the Sun ONE Web Server is exploited remotely gaining control of the execution flow on the target host.
This module exploits an Off-by-one error in the LDAP scheme handling in the Rewrite module (mod_rewrite) in Apache and installs an agent into the target host.
Disk Pulse server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling a crafted POST request, this can trigger an overflow in a finite-sized internal memory buffer, and install an agent with SYSTEM priviledges.
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup LGServer Service Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the LGServer Service (LGServer.exe) component of CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops and installs an agent if successful. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted packet to port TCP/1900.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the database service (ibserver.exe) of the Borland InterBase 2007 application. The exploit triggers an integer overflow and causes a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet to port 3050/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the SOCKS proxy included in the Sun Java Web Proxy Server. The exploit sends specially crafted packets during the SOCKS connection negotiation and installs an agent if successful.
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.
