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 modules exploits a vulnerability found in the Honewell HSC Remote Deployer ActiveX. This control can be abused by using the LaunchInstaller() function to execute an arbitrary HTA from a remote location.
Apple Mac OS X Samba NetWkstaTransportEnum Request Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Mac OS X Samba server. When a specially crafted call to "NetWkstaTransportEnum" RPC function is processed by the Samba server, it produces a heap overflow.
Schneider Electric Interactive Graphical SCADA System Buffer Overflow Exploit
This Stack-based buffer overflow exploits a vulnerability in Schneider Electric's Interactive Graphical SCADA System (IGSS) that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted packet to TCP port-12397.
A vulnerability in ActFax Server RAW server used to transfer fax messages without protocols. Data fields. @F506,@F605, and @F000 are vulnerable.

Adobe Acrobat Reader acroform api With Sandbox Bypass Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Professional .PDF files. The vulnerability is caused due to memory corruption method in acroform.api. This can be exploited to cause code execution when a specially crafted .PDF file is opened in Adobe Reader or is opened embedded in a browser. 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.
Microsoft Internet Explorer SLayoutRun Use-After-Free Exploit (MS13-009)
Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer where a CParaElement node is released but a reference is still kept in CDoc. This memory is reused when a CDoc relayout is performed.
Microsoft Windows NFS NULL Dereference DoS (MS13-014)
This modules exploits a Windows kernel vulnerability in "nfssvr.sys" by sending a NFS file renaming crafted request to the target. 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.
The default Java security properties configuration does not restrict access to certain objects in the com.sun.jmx.mbeanserver packages. This flaw allows an unprivileged Java applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Improper Message Handling Vulnerability Exploit (MS13-005)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows kernel improperly handles window broadcast messages. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.
freeSSHd SSH Server Authentication Bypass Remote Code Execution Exploit
A vulnerability in the freeSSHd SSH Server allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a crafted session. This module exploits the vulnerability and installs an agent into the target host.
Procyon Core Server HMI Scada Coreservice Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
Vulnerability in the coreservice.exe component of Procyon Core Server versions 1.13 and below. While processing a password, the application fails to do proper bounds checking before copying data into a buffer on the stack. This causes a buffer overflow and allows it to overwrite a structured exception handling record, allowing for unauthenticated remote code execution. This version updates runtime value to the appropriate for this case.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Professional .PDF files. The vulnerability is caused due to memory corruption method in acroform.api. This can be exploited to cause code execution when a specially crafted .PDF file is opened in Adobe Reader or is opened embedded in a browser. 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.
Enterasys NetSight nssyslogd PRI Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability exists within the nssyslogd.exe component, when parsing a syslog message. The process does not properly validate the size of the destination buffer and copies user supplied data into a fixed-length buffer on the stack.
The Device Manager service (rrobotd.exe) in EMC AlphaStor is prone to an OS command injection vulnerability when processing DCP commands. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this in order to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on the vulnerable machine.
Vulnerabilities exist within methods exposed by gwcls1.dll which accept pointer and perform operations on the potentially malicious pointer without validation.
Adobe Flash Player SWF Load Crafted Module Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player triggered when processing a SWF file and this load a crafted dll module. 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 update improves the reliability of the exploit.
Sunway Force Control SCADA SMNP NetDBServer Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
A stack based buffer overflow in the SNMP NetDBServer service of Sunway Forcecontrol is triggered when sending an overly long string to the listening service on port 2001. This version updates runtime value to the appropriate for this case.
