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.

Product Name
DameWare Mini Remote Control Username Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in DameWare Mini Remote Control by sending a specially crafted packet to port 6129/TCP.
The Administration Console of Oracle GlassFish Server is prone to an authentication bypass vulnerability, which can be achieved by performing HTTP TRACE requests. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this in order to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server.
VisiWave Site Survey Report File Processing Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in VisiWave Site Survey Report when handling report files. This can be exploited to cause a stack based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .VWR file.
NTR ActiveX Control StopModule Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the ntractivex118.dll module included in the NTRglobal NTR Activex Control application. The exploit is triggered when the StopModule() method processes a crafted argument resulting in a buffer overflow.
The best practice for installations of EMC Replication Manager is to register a Replication Manager Client (irccd.exe) instance with the appropiate Replication Manager Server (ird.exe) as soon as the client software is installed on a host.
Registration is performed by Replication Manager administrators from within the Replication Manager Server.
Microsoft Windows Win32k TrackPopupMenu Null Pointer Dereference Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS14-058) Update
This module exploits a null pointer dereference in win32k.sys by abusing of xxxSendMessageTimeout function. The TrackPopupMenu API function is used to trigger the vulnerability.
Due to an unauthenticated endpoint that leverages XStream for input serialization in VMware NSX Manager, an attacker can get remote code execution in the context of 'root' user account on the appliance.
Linux Kernel Route4 Change UAF Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A use-after-free flaw was found in route4_change in the net/sched/cls_route.c filter implementation in the Linux kernel. This module allows to create a user with root privileges.
Microsoft Windows CreateSizedDIBSECTION Thumbnail View Buffer Overflow Exploit
Microsoft Windows is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability in the Windows Graphics Rendering Engine because the software fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data.
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.
CyberLink Power Director dwmapi DLL Hijacking Exploit
CyberLink Power Director is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named dwmapi.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .PDL file.
This module exploits an information disclosure vulnerability, a remote file download vulnerability and a directory traversal vulnerability in VMware vRealize Log Insight to deploy an agent with root privileges.
Bentley Microstation is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named wintab32.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .HLN file.
Altova Diffdog 2011 is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named dwmapi.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .DBDIF file.
Foxit PDF Reader Export XFA Data Arbitrary File Write Exploit
The method exportXFAData has inadvertently exposed a dangerous loophole that can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victim's system. The exploitation process requires the victim's interaction, meaning a potential attacker would need to convince the target to visit a malicious web page or open a corrupted file. The victim's susceptibility to social engineering thus significantly increases the risk factor of this vulnerability.
IZArc is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named wintab32.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .ARJ file.
Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of tbbmalloc.dll if this dll is located in the same folder than .PBK file.
Microsoft Internet Explorer CSS clip Attribute Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer when processing a special crafted html with CSS clip attribute.
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.
A stack buffer overflow occurs when copying a user supplied input to a fixed size stack buffer without boundary check leading to overwrite the SEH and the return address.
The copying procedure stops when a null word is found and no size check is proceeded.
A path traversal vulnerability affects the Issue Collector plugin in Atlassian JIRA. This module exploits that vulnerability to achieve remote code execution. The installed agent will have SYSTEM privileges.
