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.

Remote Exploits Invalid Characters Update
This update corrects a typo defining invalid characters for the egg in some remote exploits, and improves the reliability of Now SMS MMS Gateway Web Authorization Buffer Overflow Exploit on Windows 2000 targets.
A vulnerability exists in the TinyMCE editor, included in the tiny browser plugin, which allows uploading files without authentication. This can be exploited to upload files with multiple extensions and execute arbitrary PHP code.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of .RAP files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into decoding a specially crafted .RAP file.
This update modifies the current NOCVE for the module and adds support for the new Impact 9 Client Side features.
A weakness has been reported in WordPress which can be exploited to bypass certain security restrictions. The weakness is due to a bug within the password reset functionality when verifying the secret key. This can be exploited to reset the password of the first user without a key in the database (usually administrator) without providing the correct secret key.
Symantec Intel Alert Originator Service Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Intel Alert Originator service by sending a specially crafted packet to the 38292/TCP port.
Awingsoft Awakening (aka Winds3D) Viewer, which runs as a plugin within most popular web browsers, is vulnerable to a remotely exploitable arbitrary command execution vulnerability which can be triggered by making the user visit a malicious link/website.
This update improves the way Denial of Service exploits show their success status in their module log output.
Denial of Service / Remote
Impact Professional
Microsoft Office Works Converter Exploit (MS09-024)
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Microsoft Office Works converter that could allow remote code execution via a specially crafted Works file.
BaoFeng Storm ActiveX control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to adequately check boundaries on user-supplied input.
PeaZIP Archived File Name Handling Command Injection Exploit
PeaZIP allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a compressed archive with a .TXT file whose name contains | (pipe) characters and a command.
Adobe PDF CustomDictionaryOpen Buffer Overflow Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Professional .PDF files. The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors in the customdictionaryopen() method in Javascript api. This can be exploited to cause a heap overflow when a specially crafted PDF file is opened.
This update corrects the CVE number for this exploit.
A vulnerability has been reported in Nagios, which can be exploited by malicious users to potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "ping" parameter in statuswml.cgi is not properly sanitized before being used to invoke the ping command. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands.
Additional research revealed that this parameter is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery. This module exploits the XSRF vulnerability in order to install an agent using the command injection vulnerability.
Opera file URI Handling Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
Opera is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability present in Microsoft Internet Information Server versions 5.1 through 6.0.
This update makes the name of the file used random to improve reliability, as well as avoid a system error when the file is used. It also adds the possibility of deploying multiple agents.
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.
Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the Compose Email feature in the Emails module in Sugar Community Edition (aka SugarCRM) before 5.2f allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with only an extension in its name, then accessing the file via a direct request to a modified filename under cache/modules/Emails/, as demonstrated using .php as the entire original name.
MSRPC WKSSVC NetrGetJoinInformation Heap Corruption DoS (MS09-041)
This module exploits an improperly memory free by sending a specially crafted RPC packet to cause a DoS condition on the target machine.

Bopup Communications Server Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted TCP packet sent to port 19810.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
Motorola Timbuktu Pro PlughNTCommand Stack Based Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow in Motorola Timbuktu Pro by sending a long malformed string over the plughNTCommand named pipe.
FreeBSD is prone to multiple stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the kernel fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.
If the system is configured to allow unprivileged users to mount file
systems, it is possible for a local adversary to exploit this
vulnerability and execute code in the context of the kernel.
