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.

Exploit Platform
Exploit Type
Product Name
OpenX Remote Code Execution Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to the banner-edit.php script allowing the upload of files with arbitrary extensions to a folder inside the webroot. This can be exploited to e.g. execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a specially crafted PHP script that contains the GIF magic number.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error with the handling of PORT commands. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted command passed to the affected server.
Novell iPrint Client Date Time Parameter Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the ienipp.ocx control included in the Novell iPrint Client application. The exploit is triggered when the Date Time parameter processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow vulnerability in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE when the HsbParser.getSoundBank function in jsound.dll handles a specially crafted .JAR file.
SoftNAS Cloud is a software-defined NAS filer delivered as a virtual storage appliance that runs within public, private or hybrid clouds. SoftNAS Cloud provides enterprise-grade NAS capabilities, including encryption, snapshots, rapid rollbacks, and cross-zone high-availability with automatic failover.
A command injection vulnerability was found in the web administration console. In particular, snserv script did not sanitize some input parameters before executing a system command.
Zen Cart record_company Remote Code Execution Exploit
Zen Cart is prone to a vulnerability that attackers can leverage to execute arbitrary code. This issue occurs in the 'admin/record_company.php' script. Specifically, the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input to the 'frmdt_content' parameter of the 'record_company_image' array.
A Remote Code Execution issue has been found in Zabbix version 1.6.2 and no authentication is required in order to exploit this vulnerability. Magic Quotes must be turned off in order to exploit this vulnerability. NOTE: Magic quotes is no longer supported by PHP starting with PHP 6.0
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of POST requests. This may allow execution of arbitrary code by sending an overly long, specially crafted POST request to the proxy server
Microsoft SQL Server sp_replwritetovarbin Remote Heap Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a heap-based buffer overflow in the Microsoft SQL Server by sending a specially crafted SQL query.
It has two uses: One as a Remote Exploit which needs authentication, and another as an SQL Injection Agent installer module, which needs an SQL Agent as a target.
Euphonics Audio Player PLS Buffer Overflow Exploit
Euphonics Audio Player contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling .PLS files.
Windows Win32k Elevation Of Privilege Exploit (CVE-2019-0803)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows when the Win32k component fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and take control of an affected system.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the Sourcefire Snort DCE/RPC preprocessor. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Snort process.
This update improves the reliability for Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 and FreeBSD 6.2 on Impact 8.0
This module allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing the Mercury Mail Transport System.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Mercury/32 IMAPD Server Module (mercuryi.dll). This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly bounds check user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed size memory buffer. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command.
This module exploits a vulnerability in various GIGABYTE and AORUS branded utilities. The low level access drivers at the core of these utilities expose dangerous functionality to low privilege processes, a local attacker can read/write arbitrary kernel memory, which can be leveraged to elevate privileges.
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.
Microsoft Windows Win32k UaF xxxDestroyWindow Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows when the Win32k component fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and take control of an affected system.
D-Link Central WiFiManager FTP Server Default Credentials Remote PHP File Upload Vulnerability Exploit
D-Link Central WiFiManager has an FTP server listening on port 9000 by default with fixed credentials. This allows to unauthenticated users to upload and execute PHP files in the web root, leading to remote code execution.
