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 LNK Shortcut Automatic File Execution Exploit (CVE-2017-8464)
This vulnerability allows to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .LNK file, which is not properly handled during icon display in Windows Explorer or any other application that parses the icon of the shortcut. aka "LNK Remote Code Execution Vulnerability."
Microsoft Windows SMB Pool Overflow Remote Code Execution (MS17-010)
This module exploits the ms17-010 vulnerability by taking advantage of a remote pool overflow in the smb transaction handling code of the windows smb driver.
This module exploits a vulnerability caused due to a boundary error in the ierpplug.dll of the Real Player application. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site.
SIDVault LDAP Server Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the LDAP service (sidvault.exe) of the SIDVault LDAP application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet to port 389/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
A buffer overflow in the ScStoragePathFromUrl function in the WebDAV service in Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long header beginning with "If:
Microsoft Windows GDI Kernel Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the way that Microsoft Windows manages GDI kernel structures in shared memory. An attacker could remap a global shared memory section that is defined to be read-only to read-write allowing them to execute arbitrary code and gain additional privileges on the target system.
The Ubuntu 5.10 installer does not properly clear passwords from the installer log file (questions.dat), and leaves the log file with world-readable permissions, which allows local users to gain privileges
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in Joomla. The session handling code is susceptible to PHP Object Injection attacks due to lack of sanitization in some HTTP headers that are saved to the database session backend.
This update fixes an issue which made the exploit abort before running.

Impact Professional
Media Player PNG header overflow exploit
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.
Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Liferay Portal prior to 7.2.1 CE GA2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via JSON web services (JSONWS).
Trident Z Lighting Control Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The ene.sys driver in Trident Z Lighting Control before v1.00.17 allow local non-privileged users (including low-integrity level processes) to read and write to arbitrary physical memory locations, and consequently gain NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges.
Oracle Coherence T3 ExtractorComparator Deserialization Vulnerability Remote Code Execution Exploit
Vulnerability in the Oracle Coherence product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Caching,CacheStore,Invocation). Supported versions that are affected are 3.7.1.17, 12.1.3.0.0, 12.2.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via T3 to compromise Oracle Coherence. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Coherence.
IBM Cognos tm1admsd Multiple Operations Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability exists within the tm1admsd.exe component Of IBM Cognos TM1. This process listens on TCP port 5498 by default. Multiple opcodes fail to validate user supplied length and data fields before copying their contents to a fixed length buffer on the stack.
This exploit leverages a vulnerability in Pulse Secure which allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to send a specially crafted URI to perform an arbitrary file reading vulnerability.
Netmechanica NetDecision HTTP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
A buffer overflow in NetDecision's HTTP service is exploited when a long URL is managed by the HTTP Server's active window. For successfull exploitation, the victim need to have the HttpSvr's window open.
