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.

This module exploits a stack overflow in library DCCFAXVW.DLL of Symantec WinFax Pro. When passing an overly long string to the AppendFax() method, arbitrary code may be executed.
Multiple ACDSee products are prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because they fail to perform adequate boundary checks when processing a malformed TIFF image. This update adds support for older ACDSee versions.

Microsoft Office Web Components ActiveX Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the owc10.dll ActiveX Control included in Microsoft Office Web Components. 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.
This module exploits a vulnerability in PHPMyAdmin. server_databases.php fails when it attemps to sanitize the sort_by parameter. It allows an attacker to inject code, and execute it on the web server with www-data privileges.
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.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.1.0 and earlier on systems with Internet Explorer 7 installed. This update adds support for WEB SERVER.
Sun ONE Web Server-NSS challenge overflow exploit update
A heap overflow in Netscape Network Security Services (NSS) library used by the Sun ONE Web Server is exploited remotely gaining control of the execution flow on the target host. This package updates the exploit.
This module exploits an Off-by-one error in the LDAP scheme handling in the Rewrite module (mod_rewrite) in Apache and installs an agent into the target host.
Acoustica Beatcraft contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Acoustica Beatcraft when handling .BCPROJ files.
WonderWare is supplier of industrial automation and information software solutions. According to the company's website: * one third of the world's plants run Wonderware software solutions.
This module exploits a vulnerability in IrfanView FlashPix plugin (.fpx files). The vulnerability is caused due to boundary error in fpx.dll within the processing of fpx files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened.
Windows Macrovision (SECDRV.SYS) Memory Corruption Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Windows XP when the 0xCA002813 function is invoked with a specially crafted parameter. The IOCTL 0xCA002813 handler in the SECDRV.SYS device driver in Macrovision products, installed by default in Windows XP and Windows 2003, allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters.
This module runs a server waiting for vulnerable clients to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by exploiting a vulnerability in Apple QuickTime, which allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition. This updates adds Vista as a supported platform for Quicktime 7.3 and also targets Quicktime version 7.2 in both Windows XP and Windows Vista.
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.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the Surgemail Server 3.x and deploys an agent when successful. The exploit triggers a buffer-overflow vulnerability due to insufficient bounds checking of user supplied input allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the remote machine.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the McAfee Subscription Manager (MCSUBMGR.DLL) ActiveX control. The exploit is triggered when the IsOldAppInstalled () method processes an overly long string argument allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This client-side exploit is dependent on a user visiting a malicious web-site hosted by CORE IMPACT to distribute the exploit and install an agent.
This update adds support for Windows Vista. This module exploits a vulnerability in the Yahoo Messenger Webcam 8.1 ActiveX Control (ywcvwr.dll). When the Receive() method processes a long string argument, a stack based buffer overflow occurs allowing execution of arbitrary code. This exploit is triggered when an unsuspecting user is lured into visiting a malicious web-site hosted by CORE IMPACT.
This module exploits a vulnerability in XVoice.dll included in the Microsoft Text to Speech Control. The exploit is triggered when the FindEngine() method processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. 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.
