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
Opera Remote Command Injection Exploit
This module exploits a XSS vulnerability in the opera:historysearch page in Opera which leads to remote command injection.
DVD X Player Professional PLF File Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in DVD X Player Professional when handling .PLF files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file of said extension.
Honestech VHS to DVD ILJ File Handling Buffer Overflow Exploit
Buffer overflow when handling malformed .ilj files. This vulnerability allow execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to open a crafted ".ilj" file.
Foxit PDF Reader 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 .PDF file.
Symantec IM Manager Administrative Interface IMAdminSchedTask.asp Remote Code Execution Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Symantec IM Manager. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability in that a logged in user must be coerced into visiting a malicious link. The specific flaw exists within the ScheduleTask method exposed by the IMAdminSchedTask.asp page hosted on the web interface. This function does not properly sanitize user input from a POST variable before passing it to an eval call.
Adobe Flash Player FLV Nellymoser Decoding Heap Buffer Overflow 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 module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Jet Database (msjet40.dll) trough a Microsoft Access Document. The vulnerability is caused due to 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.
This module exploits an integer underflow vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. This vulnerability was exploited in 0day attacks in February 2014.
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.
Microsoft Office Word Property Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS06-038)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Office, and could be exploited when a malformed property included in an Office file was parsed by any of the affected Office applications.
This module exploits an improper bound checking in MoreAmp when importing a MAF (song list) file. This causes a stack based overflow and allows code execution on the targeted system with the privileges of the user which is running the application.
Microsoft Internet Explorer Event Handling Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a use-after-free error when handling events when the object firing the event is removed from the markup.
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.
VLC Media Player MP4 Demuxer Buffer Overflow Exploit
VLC media player is prone to multiple stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities.
When parsing a MP4, ASF or AVI file with an overly deep box structure, a stack overflow might occur. It would overwrite the return address and thus redirect the execution flow.
Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application or crash the application, denying service to legitimate users.
VLC media player 1.0.1 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
HP LoadRunner XUpload ActiveX Control Bufer Overflow Exploit
Boundary errors exists in HP LoadRunner in Persits.XUpload.2 ActiveX control (XUpload.ocx) when processing arguments passed to the "AddFile()" method. This can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows by passing specially crafted, overly-long strings as argument to the affected method.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of PRIVMSG IRC messages. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into connecting to a malicious IRC server.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Office Word(.DOC files). The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in winword.exe within the processing of DOC files. This can be exploited to cause a memory corruption when a specially crafted file is opened.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the DoWebMenuAction function in the IncrediMail IMMenuShellExt ActiveX control (ImShExt.dll) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. This update improves the exploit reliability.
