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.

Microsoft IIS MS08-006 exploit
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Information Server 5.1 through 6.0. WARNING: This is an early release module.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in WebViewFolderIcon ActiveX control of Microsoft Internet Explorer and installs an agent. This update fixes a bug introduced by Mach Exception Handling exploit.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in WINSRV.DLL in the Client Server Runtime System (CSRSS) process. Allows local users to gain privileges via a specially-designed application that provides console window information with a long FaceName value. This update improve the exploit reliability in windows 2003.
Linux Kernel join_session_keyring Reference Counting Privilege Escalation Exploit
The join_session_keyring() function in security/keys/process_keys.c in the Linux kernel is prone to a reference counter overflow that occurs when a process repeatedly tries to join an already existing keyring. This vulnerability can be leveraged by local unprivileged attackers to gain root privileges on the affected systems.
This module exploits a Jenkins command injection in order to install an agent.

Impact
QuickView Plus Client vsacs Buffer Overflow Exploit
Quick View Plus contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Quick View Plus when handling .MDB files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .MDB file. This module runs a malicious web server on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to it by opening the crafted MDB file with Quick View Plus.
This module exploits a buffer overflow on IrfanView Formats plugin when parsing a specially crafted .XCF file.

Exploits/Client Side
Impact
Avaya IP Office Customer Call Reporter ImageUpload Exploit
The specific flaw exists because Avaya IP Office Customer Call Reporter allows to upload files to the webserver through ImageUpload.ashx. The uploaded files will not be stripped of their file extensions and the directory where they are saved has no scripting restrictions.
Sync Breeze Server Login Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability exists in Sync Breeze Server v2.2.34 when processing a remote clients "LOGIN" request.The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in libpal.dll when handling network messages and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted packet sent to TCP port 9120.

Impact
GNU Glibc ld.so ORIGIN Privilege Escalation Exploit
The GNU C library (GNU glibc) is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability. This module exploits the vulnerability to install an agent with root privileges. 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.
Microsoft Excel OBJ Record Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS10-038)
Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office Excel allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an Excel file with a crafted OBJ (0x5D) record.
Microsoft Office Outlook Linked Attachment Exploit (MS10-045)
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Office Outlook when verifying attachments that are attached using the ATTACH_BY_REFERENCE value of the PR_ATTACH_METHOD property in a specially crafted e-mail message. 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.
