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.

Product Name
OP5 license Remote Code Execution Exploit
op5 Appliance contains an input validation flaw related to the system-portal component that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands via command injection.
EMC NetWorker nsrd RPC Service Format String Exploit
A Format string vulnerability in the nsrd RPC service within EMC NetWorker? allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a crafted message.
Microsoft Windows OLE Packager INF File Remote Code Execution Exploit (MS14-060)
The OLE packager component (packager.dll) of Microsoft Windows will automatically download remote files referenced in embedded OLE objects within Office documents. In the case of .INF installer files, packager.dll will automatically run them without prompting the user. This can be abused to gain arbitrary code execution by creating an Office document with an embedded OLE object containing a reference to a remote INF file with specially crafted commands. This vulnerability can be exploited by convincing an unsuspecting user to open a specially crafted PowerPoint document.
FreeFloat FTP Server Reply Buffer Overflow Exploit
FreeFloat FTP server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling overly long replies.

Impact
Microsoft Internet Explorer CSS clip Attribute Exploit Update
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer when processing a special crafted html with CSS clip attribute. This update adds support for Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 7.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling the PEstrarg1 property and can be exploited to cause a heap overflow by assigning an overly long string to this property.
Microsoft Windows Administrator UAC Elevation Bypass
This module abuses a design flaw in the way Microsoft Windows implements a UAC whitelist. The flaw could allow a process running with Medium Integrity to elevate itself to High Integrity without a UAC prompt when the process is run from an account in the administrators group.
VUPlayer contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling .CUE files.

Impact
Maya Studio EO Video Playlist Buffer Overflow Exploit
Maya Studio EO-Video is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input when handling playlist files.
InduSoft Web Studio SCADA REVERB1 DLL Hijacking Exploit
InduSoft Web Studio SCADA is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of module REVERB1 if this dll is located in the same folder than .APP file.
Windows

Impact
Procyon Core Server HMI Scada Coreservice Buffer Overflow Exploit
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.
Microsoft Windows Media Encoder DLL Hijacking (MS10-094)
Windows Media Encoder is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of an attacker supplied file named wmerrorENU.dll, if this dll is located in the same webdav/shared folder as a .PRX file.
Symantec Endpoint Protection Kernel Pool Overflow Privilege Escalation Exploit
Buffer overflow in the sysplant driver in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) Client 11.x and 12.x before 12.1 RU4 MP1b, and Small Business Edition before SEP 12.1, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to a 0x00222084 IOCTL call.
Adobe Flash Player shared ByteArray Use-After-Free Exploit
This module exploits a Use-After-Free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. The method ByteArray::clear does not notify the suscriber when frees the memory assigned to a ByteArray object leaving a dangling pointer that can be later dereferenced. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable machines by enticing unsuspecting users to visit a website serving a specially crafted SWF Flash file. This vulnerability was found exploited in the wild in February 2015.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the ClearSCADA Server service by sending a malformed packet to the 5481/TCP port to crash the application. This Update increases the MAX TRIES default value because it has not been reliable.
This module exploits a binary planting vulnerability in Oracle Java JRE. The vulnerability is caused due to the application loading an executable file in an insecure manner when an out of memory condition occurs. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary programs by tricking a user into e.g. opening a HTML file, which loads an applet located on a remote WebDAV or SMB share.
