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.

We provide pen testers with real-time updates for a wide range of exploits for different platforms, operating systems, and applications.
Search our continuously growing library to discover an exploit that will allow you to gain and retain access on the target host or application.
An identified vulnerability in ScreenConnect allows attackers to bypass string comparison in the request path and access the setup wizard ("/SetupWizard.aspx") on configured instances. Exploiting this vulnerability enables an attacker to create an administrative user and upload a malicious ScreenConnect extension, potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE) on the server.
Microsoft Outlook Moniker Link UNC Path Information Disclosure Exploit Update
This exploit leverages an information disclosure vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook. By using a crafted path, unauthorized access can be obtained, allowing for the theft of NTLM hashes.
This update add suport for unautheticated SMTP servers.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the Microsoft Windows Plug and Play service and installs a level0 agent (MS05-039).

TUGZip ZIP File Buffer Overflow Exploit
TUGZip is vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow due to improper parsing of the filename parameter within zip file if an overly long filename is provided.
VLC is able to handle the subtitles automatically in a very simple way, it just checks the presence of ssa files with the same name of the loaded video and a possible subtitles folder. The functions which handle the MicroDvd, SSA and Vplayer subtitle formats are vulnerable to some stack based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities which can allow an attacker to execute malicious code.

Microsoft Notepad deskpan COM Server-based Binary Planting Exploit(MS11-071)
Microsoft Notepad has several safely registered COM servers whose DLLs make unsafe library loading calls.
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
This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in the service.exe service included in the Measuresoft ScadaPro application by sending a sequence of malformed packets to the 11234/TCP port.
Microsoft Windows OLE Package Manager Code Execution Exploit (MS14-064)
Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted OLE object, as exploited in the wild in October 2014 with a crafted PowerPoint document.
Adobe Flash Player ByteArray valueOf Use-After-Free Exploit
This module exploits a Use-After-Free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. This vulnerability was found on the HackingTeam's leak on July 2015.
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.
This update updates AV evasion for agents generated using the binary wrapper, which is used by Package and Register, Serve Agent in Web Server, and similar executable generating modules.

QEMU Floppy Disk Controller fdctrl_handle_drive_specification_command Virtual Machine Escape Exploit (VENOM)
The fdctrl_handle_drive_specification_command() function in the code that emulates the Floppy Disk Controller in QEMU does not properly reset the index within a buffer when processing user-controlled data, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow in the QEMU process that runs on the Host system.
An attacker running code within a Guest operating system can exploit this vulnerability in order to escape from the QEMU virtual machine and execute arbitrary code on the Host operating system.
This module exploits a compilation logic error in the PCRE engine in Adobe Flash Player. The handling of the \c escape sequence when followed by a multi-byte UTF8 character, allows arbitrary code execution of PCRE bytecode.
Microsoft Windows AFD AfdJoinLeaf Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS11-080)
The Ancillary Function Driver (AFD.sys) present in Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to an arbitrary pointer overwrite. This module allows a local unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by sending a specially crafted IOCTL to the vulnerable driver.
