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.

Exploit Platform
Exploit Type
Product Name
MySQL yaSSL Exploit
This module exploits a remote buffer-overflow in MySQL servers using yaSSL.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the database service (ibserver.exe) of the Borland InterBase application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted "create" request to port 3050/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
Microsoft SQL Server Distributed Management Objects Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the SQLDMO.DLL control included in the Microsoft SQL Server application. The exploit is triggered when the Start() 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.
This update adds support for Windows 2000 SP0 and fixes a reliability issue. The module exploits a vulnerability in the .HTR ISAPI filter in early versions of IIS.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the SiteManager ActiveX Control (sitemanager.dll). A validation error in the ExportSiteList() method allows an attacker to run arbitrary code on the target system. The module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer) to connect to it. When a client connects, it will try to install a Level0v2 agent by exploiting this vulnerability.
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow handling the mail headers in the OWA (Outlook Web Access) service when processing meeting requests of Exchange Server clients (MS06-019).
POWERCOM UPSMON PRO for Windows Directory Traversal 0day
This module exploits a Directory Traversal vulnerability in POWERCOM UPSMON PRO for Windows, Path traversal vulnerability that can be exploited to read files outside of the web root
The specific flaw exists within the processing of a TLF file. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a stack-based buffer.
An uninitialised stack variable in the nxfuse component that is part of the Open Source DokanFS library shipped with NoMachine allows a local low privileged user to gain elevation of privileges.
VMware Workspace ONE Access Hekate Remote Code Execution Exploit
An authentication bypass in OAuth2TokenResourceController access control service, a JDBC injection that allows remote code execution in DBConnectionCheckController dbCheck and a local privilege escalation via publishCaCert.hzn and gatherConfig.hzn; allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute system commands as root.
An authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel vulnerability [CWE-288] in FortiOS, FortiProxy and FortiSwitchManager may allow an unauthenticated attacker to perform operations on the administrative interface via specially crafted HTTP or HTTPS requests.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of PaperCut MF. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the SetupCompleted class. The issue results from improper access control. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Jungo WinDriver. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of IOCTL 0x953824a7 by the windrvr12xx kernel driver. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied data which can result in an out-of-bounds write condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of kernel.
