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.

Windows .WMF file parsing exploit update
This module exploits a vulnerability in the way WMF metafile images are handled by Microsoft Windows Graphics Rendering Engine.
In this new version, the generated metafile is much more random and fully compliant with the file format.
Additionally, the payload tries to escape to another process, then returns from the callback transferring the execution flow back to the host application, hiding exploitation from the user's perception.
Microsoft Windows Object Packager Insecure Executable Loading Exploit (MS12-002)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Windows registers and uses the Windows Object Packager that may allow the execution of any executable file named packager.exe, if this executable is located in the same folder than a .PPSX file.
Microsoft Office Assembly Execution Exploit (MS12-005)
Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in the Windows Packager configuration allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ClickOnce application in a Microsoft Office document.
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."

SAP AG SAPgui EAI WebViewer3D Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack overflow in Siemens Unigraphics Solutions Teamcenter Visualization EAI WebViewer3D ActiveX control that is bundled with SAPgui. When parsing an overly long string the SaveViewToSessionFile() method, arbitrary code may be executed.
Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Word allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted DOC file that triggers memory corruption.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in WebViewFolderIcon ActiveX control of Microsoft Internet Explorer and installs an agent. This update adds support for more platforms.
Microsoft WordPad Word 97 Text Converter Memory Corruption Exploit (MS10-067)
Microsoft WordPad is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability, because the Word 97 Text Converter does not properly parse certain structures in a Word 97 file.
This vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a specially crafted .DOC file with Microsoft WordPad.
Microsoft Office Excel RTD Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS10-038)
Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office Excel 2002 SP3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an Excel file with a malformed RTD (0x813) record, aka "Excel RTD Memory Corruption Vulnerability".
Microsoft .NET Framework CLR Virtual Method Delegate Exploit (MS10-060)
The Common Language Runtime (CLR) in Microsoft .NET Framework does not properly handle interfaces and delegations to virtual methods. This module exploits the vulnerability through Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Microsoft Office PowerPoint Sound Data Exploit (MS09-017)
Microsoft Office PowerPoint allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted sound data in a file that uses a PowerPoint 95 native file format.
Apple Safari parent.close Code Execution Exploit Update
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of parent windows and can result in a function call using an invalid pointer. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user e.g. visits a specially crafted web page and closes opened pop-up windows.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of .WJR files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking the user into opening a .WJR file containing an overly long "Save To" field.
Eureka Mail Client Error Response Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of POP3 responses. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long error response.
This version fix XML and version number, add Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows 2000 suport, and fix len of the public IP problem.
Microsoft Internet Explorer iepeers Use-After-Free Exploit
This module exploits a Use-After-Free vulnerability on Internet Explorer 6 and 7.
