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.

Adobe PDF JavaScript Buffer Overflow Exploit Update 3
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Professional .PDF files. The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors in collectEmailInfo() method in EScript.api. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted PDF file is opened.
This update adds support for Mac OS X 10.4.x and 10.5.x.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the JetAudio ActiveX Control (JetFlExt.dll). The exploit is triggered when a special string argument is processed by the DownloadFromMusicStore() method resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors in wordperfect within the processing of WPD files. Wordperfect X3 fails to check the length of the printer selection (.PRS) filename stored inside Wordperfect documents, allowing an attacker to cause a stack overflow in order to execute arbitrary code.
This update changes the injection method of the agent.
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.
This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them.

WECON LeviStudioU SMtext Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the handling of XML files. When parsing the ShortMessage SMtext element, the process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a buffer.
LibreOffice LibreLogo Python Global Event Scripting Vulnerability Exploit
By abusing document's event feature in LibreOffice and the LibreLogo script, an attacker can execute arbitrary python code from within a malicious document silently, without user warning.
This module performs a bypass of CVE-2019-9848 by using global script events.
Microsoft Internet Explorer VBScript UAF Exploit (2019)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the VBScript engine handles objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could take control of an affected system.
A UNICODE Buffer Overflow exists in AllPlayer 7.5 when parsing .m3u files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .m3u files.
This module will listen for HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and queue client side exploits as HTTP responses in an attempt to install an OS agent on the client.
This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them.

SCADA
Ichitaro Office Excel File Heap Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability revolves around an unchecked integer underflow of the size of a record of type 0x3c, producing a heap overflow, within a Workbook stream in an XLS file handled by Ichitaro.
Schneider Electric SoMachine HVAC AxEditGrid ActiveX Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the SetDataIntf method of the AxEditGrid control. The control has an untrusted pointer dereference vulnerability because it blindly calls an attacker-supplied memory address.
A critical vulnerability, identified and cataloged as CVE-2023-38831, has been discovered. This vulnerability allows attackers to create modified RAR or ZIP archives that contain both harmless files and malicious ones. The malicious files are typically scripts located within a folder that shares the same name as the harmless file.
