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.

BigAnt IM Server HTTP GET Request Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the AntServer Module (AntServer.exe), this can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted, overly long HTTP GET request to default port 6080/TCP.
Download Accelerator Plus M3U Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Download Accelerator Plus when importing a M3U file (MP3 Playlist) and verify option is used, may allow a remote unprivileged user who provides a crafted M3U document that is opened by a local user to execute arbitrary commands on the system with the privileges of the user running Download Accelerator Plus. This can be exploited to cause a stack based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is imported and the verify button is used in DAP.
Array index error in libmpdemux/demux_mov.c in MPlayer 1.0 rc2 and earlier might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a QuickTime MOV file with a crafted stsc atom tag.
Microsoft NtUserMessageCall Kernel Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS08-025)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists due to the Windows kernel improperly validating input passed from user mode to the kernel. The vulnerability could allow an attacker to run code with elevated privileges.
MSRPC Samba Command Injection exploit update 2 for IMPACT 7.5
This update adds support for FreeBSD and OpenBSD. This module exploits a command injection vulnerability in the function AddPrinterW in Samba 3, reached through an AddPrinter remote request.
Rosoft Media Player M3U Stack-Based Buffer Overflow Exploit
Rosoft Media Player is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input of M3U files.
HP Linux Imaging and Printing exploit for Impact 7.5
A vulnerability has been identified in HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (HPLIP), which could be exploited by local attackers to obtain elevated privileges. This issue is caused by input validation errors in the hpssd daemon that does not validate user-supplied data before being passed to a popen3() call, which could be exploited by malicious users to inject and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. This package include local and remote versions of the exploit.
There is a buffer overflow in lasr.dll when parsing an AMI Pro document(.sam) file. The unsafe lstrcpy() function is used to copy each line read from the file into fixed sized stack and heap buffers, with no length checks being performed. Hence, it is possible to create an AMI Pro file that contains overly long lines that will trigger the buffer overflow when viewed within Lotus Notes. In order to exploit this vulnerability successfully, the user must be convinced to view a malicious AMI Pro document file attachment using the built-in viewer in Lotus Notes.
Buffer overflow in the Live Picture Corporation DXSurface.LivePicture.FlashPix.1 (DirectTransform FlashPix) ActiveX control in DXTLIPI.DLL 6.0.2.827, as packaged in Microsoft DirectX Media 6.0 SDK, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long SourceUrl property value.
Apple QuickTime Java toQTPointer() code execution exploit update
This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in the Java QuickTime for Java (QtJava.dll) browser plug-in. The module runs a malicious web server on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user(s) to connect to it with a Java-enabled browser using the vulnerable plug-in. When a user connects to the site they trigger the exploit and the module attempts to install an agent on their computer. This update adds support for Safari browser in Mac OS X (i386) and adds Opera support in Windows.
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup Discovery Service exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in BrightStor ARCserve/Enterprise Backup, which can be leveraged by an attacker to compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the Discovery Service when processing received network traffic. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending an overly large TCP data stream to port 41523.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in WinRAR 3.60 beta6 and prior to install a level0 agent. This update adds support to register the exploit into the IMPACT webserver.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Keyboard Layout Vulnerability Exploit (MS12-034) Update 6
This update adds support to Microsoft Windows 2003 64 bits edition ( DoS ), Microsoft Windows Vista 64 bits edition ( DoS ), Microsoft Windows 2008 64 bits edition ( DoS ) and Microsoft Windows Seven 64 bits edition ( DoS ). This module exploits a Windows kernel vulnerability by loading a fake keyboard layout through a call to "NtUserLoadKeyboardLayoutEx" function with crafted parameters. When the keyboard layout is processed by win32k.sys, it produces a kernel heap memory corruption.
IBM Rational ClearQuest RegisterSchemaRepoFromFileByDbSet ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
IBM Rational ClearQuest ActiveX control Cqole.dll is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by a function prototype mismatch in the RegisterSchemaRepoFromFileByDbSet() function.
