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.

Impact
10-Strike LANState Local Buffer Overflow Exploit
A Buffer Overflow exists when parsing .lsm files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .lsm files.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability during the processing of TFTP Read/Write request packet types and cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet with an overly long mode field.
The specific flaw exists within the PocketNetNVRMediaClientAxCtrl.NVRMediaViewer.1 control. The SaveCurrentImageEx method copies an attacker provided filename into a fixed size buffer.
3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH CODESYS Web Server Upload Restricted File and Buffer Overflow Exploit
A specially crafted web server request may allow the upload of arbitrary files to the CODESYS Web Server without authorization which may allow remote code execution.
A malicious user could overflow a buffer by providing overly long strings to functions that handle the XML. Because the function does not verify string size before copying to memory, the attacker may then be able to crash the application or run arbitrary code.
7T Interactive Graphical SCADA System ODBC Server Remote Memory Corruption DoS
This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in the IGSS ODBC Server by sending a malformed packet to the 20222/TCP port to crash the application.

ABB MicroSCADA Wserver Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability is a buffer overflow and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of ABB MicroSCADA Wserver without authentication. The specific flaw exists within the wserver.exe component which listens on TCP port 12221. This component performs insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data which results in stack buffer ovreflow.

ABB Panel Builder bemodbus Heap Overflow Exploit
ABB Panel Builder is prone to a Heap-Overflow when handling specially cracted .PBA files.
A buffer overflow exists in a component of the Robot Communication Runtime used in some ABB programs for the communications to the IRC5, IRC5C, and IRC5P robot controllers. This version add CVE.
ABBS Audio Media Player contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in ABBS when handling .lst files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .lst file.
