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 Windows Win32k NULL Page Vulnerability Exploit (MS13-081) Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in "win32k.sys" by calling to the "TrackPopupMenuEx" function. This update adds support to Windows 7 64 bits and Windows 2008 R2.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Integer Overflow DoS (MS13-101) Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in win32k.sys by calling to "NtGdiGetTextExtent" function with crafted parameters. This update adds support to Windows 2003 (32 and 64 bits), Windows Vista (32 and 64 bits), Windows 2008 (32 and 64 bits), Windows 7 64 bits, Windows 2008 R2, Windows 8 ( 32 and 64 bits) and Windows 2012.
Microsoft Windows Hyper-V VMBus Non Responsiveness Vulnerability DoS (MS11-047)
This module exploits a vulnerability on Microsoft Hyper-V sending a crafted packet from the "guest OS" to the "host OS" through the vmbus mechanism producing a non responsiveness effect in the all virtual machines running at the time.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Lotus Notes 8.5.2 when parsing a malformed, specially crafted AS (Applix Spreadsheet) file.

HP OpenView NNM nnmRptConfig schd_select1 CGI Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the nnmRptConfig.exe CGI application, a component of HP OpenView Network Node Manager, by sending a specially crafted packet.
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management TFTPD Remote DoS
The flaw exists within the novell-tftp.exe component which listens by default on UDP port 69. When handling a request the process blindly copies user supplied data into a fixed-length buffer on the heap.
SIELCO SISTEMI Winlog Malformed Packet Stack Buffer Overflow Exploit
Stack-based buffer overflow in Sielco Sistemi Winlog when Run TCP/IP server is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted 0x02 opcode to TCP port 46823.
This vulnerability on installations of Golden FTP Server is due to a boundary error with the handling of passwords. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via the use of overly long, specially-crafted passwords passed to the affected server.
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer with a vulnerable StubbyUtil.InstallerDlg.1 ActiveX Control) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by sending a specially crafted HTML page which exploits the Real Networks Arcade Game's ActiveX control.

Adobe Flash Player SWF File Memory Corruption Exploit
Adobe Flash Player is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted .SWF file, which can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable machines by convincing an unsuspecting user to visit a malicious web site. This vulnerability has been found exploited in-the-wild during April 2011. 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.
Microsoft Office Excel RTD Data Record Processing Stack Overwrite Exploit (MS11-021) Update 2
The flaw exists within the methods used for RealTimeData Record Parsing. When handling a stTopic field that has a bit set specifying double byte characters in the following field the value of a global pointer is improperly calculated. This version adds Windows 7 support and updates the CVE number.
Oracle Java Web Start XXaltjvm Option Command Line Injection Exploit
Argument injection vulnerability in the URI handler in Java Deployment Toolkit allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the -J argument to javaws.exe, which is processed by the launch method.
HP Intelligent Management Center UAM sprintf Buffer Overflow Exploit
A stack buffer overflow exists in HP Intelligent Management Center's uam.exe service which listens on port UDP/1811. The vulnerability is due to lack of validation of a string passed to sprintf.

GSM SIM Utility SEH Buffer Overflow Exploit
GSM SIM Utility contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in GSM SIM Editor when handling misleading .sms files. When opening such files an error message is shown and then a buffer overflow occurs. This situation allows an attacker to overwrite an SEH Pointer and control the execution flow.
An error in the way that Java implements dynamic binding can be abused to overwrite public final fields. This flaw allows an unprivileged Java applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user. This update adds the CVE number to the exploit.
