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.

Adobe Flash Player FLV Parsing Memory Corruption Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player when parsing malformed FLV objects. Attackers exploiting the vulnerability can corrupt memory and gain remote code execution. This vulnerability has been found exploited in the wild in June 2015 in the Operation Clandestine Wolf campaign. 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.
Linux Overlayfs Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Linux. The overlayfs filesystem does not correctly check file permissions when creating new files in the upper filesystem directory. This can be exploited by an unprivileged process in kernels with CONFIG_USER_NS=y and where overlayfs has the FS_USERNS_MOUNT flag, which allows the mounting of overlayfs inside unprivileged mount namespaces.
Microsoft Windows Win32k ClientCopyImage Privilege Escalation Exploit(MS15-051)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Win32k.sys kernel-mode driver improperly handles objects in memory. The vulnerability exists in the Windows OS process of creating windows for applications. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode.
The Rhino Script Engine of Oracle Java fails to properly check for permissions on JavaScript error objects. This flaw allows an unprivileged applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the VMware Printer virtual device from the guest OS and install an agent in the host computer. This update adds support to more VMware versions and improves the agent connection reliability from the host computer.
Adobe Acrobat Pro Multiple Vulnerabilities Exploit
A specially crafted argument to makeMeasurement will leave objects in an inconsistent state and can produce a Buffer Overflow. This data can later be retrieved via a call to dumpMeasureData. Finally using NSendApprovalToAuthorEnabled method it is possible to bypass the Javascript API restrictions.
The map_yp_alias function in functions/imap_general.php in SquirrelMail before 1.4.18 and NaSMail before 1.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a username string that is used by the ypmatch program. This module works if map:map_yp_alias is set as the imap server address in config.php, which is not the default setting. This update improves os detection and adds runtime cost.
A vulnerability in ElasticSearch versions 1.4.0 to 1.4.2 allows execution of unsandboxed Groovy code. This module installs an OS agent in vulnerable targets.
