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
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Intelligent Management Center tftpserver getFileData Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the handling of the m_pkg_LimitSize parameter provided to the tftpserver.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 and 10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PNG image with a large chunk size. This update improves the reliability of the exploit.
CA BrightStor Tape Engine Buffer Overflow Exploit update
This module exploits a buffer overflow in CA Brightstor Tape Engine in BrightStor ARCserve Backup v11.5. This package makes a slight change in the documentation of the module.
DivX Player (as installed by the DivX Bundle) is reported to have boundary errors in PlaybackModule2.dll within the processing of SRT subtitles. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when the victim opens a specially crafted file with an overly long subtitle line.
Microsoft Windows Win32k SetImeinfoEx 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.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the Microsoft Windows Plug and Play service and installs an agent (MS05-039). This update fixes a problem when launching the exploit with the PROTO parameter set to 139/SMB or 445/SMB (instead of the default value ANY).
Dup Scout Enterprise Import Command Local Buffer Overflow Exploit
A Buffer Overflow exists when parsing .XML files by Command Import. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .XML files.
Rosoft Media Player M3U Stack-Based Buffer Overflow Exploit
Rosoft Media Player is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input of M3U files.
Microsoft Jet Database Engine Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Jet Database (msjet40.dll) through a Microsoft Word document. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in msjet40.dll within the processing of MDB files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened.
pfSense system groupmanager Command Execution Exploit
This module exploits a post authentication vulnerability in pfSense by abusing the system_groupmanager.php page which allows users to get Code Execution.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
HP Linux Imaging and Printing exploit for Impact 7.5
A vulnerability has been identified in HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (HPLIP), which could be exploited by local attackers to obtain elevated privileges. This issue is caused by input validation errors in the hpssd daemon that does not validate user-supplied data before being passed to a popen3() call, which could be exploited by malicious users to inject and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.
This package include local and remote versions of the exploit.
HPE Intelligent Management Center is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an improper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in deserialization of untrusted data in WebDMDebugServlet.
An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.
Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities
Impact
QuickTime RTSP Content-Type exploit Mac Intel update
This module runs a server waiting for vulnerable clients to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by exploiting a vulnerability in Apple QuickTime, which allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the PDWizard.ocx of the Visual Studio application. The module will run a malicious website in the CORE IMPACT console and wait for a user to connect and trigger the exploit.
Insufficient input validation in the management interface of Solarwinds LEM Management Virtual Appliance v6.3.1 can be leveraged in order to execute arbitrary commands.
This can lead to shell access to the underlying operating system as root.
There is a buffer overflow in lasr.dll when parsing an AMI Pro document(.sam) file. The unsafe lstrcpy() function is used to copy each line read from the file into fixed sized stack and heap buffers, with no length checks being performed. Hence, it is possible to create an AMI Pro file that contains overly long lines that will trigger the buffer overflow when viewed within Lotus Notes.
In order to exploit this vulnerability successfully, the user must be convinced to view a malicious AMI Pro document file attachment using the built-in viewer in Lotus Notes.
Microsoft Office Word OLE2Link OLE Object Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Office Word. The flaw is related in how Microsoft Word handles OleLink objects. It is possible to open a RTF file and execute arbitrary code in vulnerables installations of Microsoft Office Word.
This vulnerability was originally seen being exploited in the wild starting in October 2016.
This module adds support for Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Office 2013 and Microsoft Office 2016.
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by exploiting a vulnerability in VLC 0.86, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute code via a crafted OGG file that triggers format string and overwrites a subroutine pointer during rendering.
