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.

VERITAS Backup Exec Agent exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in VERITAS Backup Exec Remote Agent 9.0 through 10.0 for Windows allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the administration web server for GoodTech Telnet Server which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string to port 2380.
AVID Media Composer Phonetic Indexer Buffer Overflow Exploit
Avid Media Composer is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability within the Phonetic Indexer (AvidPhoneticIndexer.exe) because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer.
The map_yp_alias function in functions/imap_general.php in SquirrelMail before 1.4.18 and NaSMail before 1.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a username string that is used by the ypmatch program. This module works if map:map_yp_alias is set as the imap server address in config.php, which is not the default setting.
The best practice for web applications built on top of the Apache Struts 2 framework is to switch off Developer Mode (struts.devMode parameter in the struts.xml configuration file) before going into production.
When devMode is left enabled, attackers can gain remote code execution by setting the 'debug=command' URL parameter and sending OGNL expressions through the 'expression' URL parameter.
This module takes advantage of this misconfiguration scenario in order to deploy an agent in the target system.
Apple CUPS IPP_TAG_UNSUPPORTED Handling null pointer DoS
This module exploits a vulnerability in Apple CUPS, when handling the IPP_TAG_UNSUPPORTED which could be exploited by attackers to cause a remote pre-authentication denial of service.
Sophos Web Protection Appliance sblistpack Command Injection Exploit
The /opt/ws/bin/sblistpack Perl script in Sophos Web Protection Appliance, which can be reached from the web interface, is vulnerable to OS command injection because its get_referers() function does not escape the first argument of the script before using it within a string that will be executed as a command by using backticks.
A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the affected appliance with the privileges of the "spiderman" operating system user.
The MS-RPC functionality in smbd in Samba 3.0.0 through 3.0.25rc3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters involving the SamrChangePassword function, when the "username map script" smb.conf option is enabled.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Tenda W30Ev1.0 V1.0.1.25(633) firmware.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBackMount GetVaultDump Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
The specific flaw exists within FastBackMount.exe which listens by default on TCP port 30051. When handling opcode 0x09 packets, the process blindly copies user supplied data into a stack-based buffer within CMountDismount::GetVaultDump. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the SYSTEM user.
IBM Lotus Domino BMP parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
IBM Domino is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking when parsing BMP images. By sending a specially-crafted bitmap image, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or make the application crash.
This version adds support for several Windows versions.
Oracle WebLogic Server is prone to a remote vulnerability due to deserialization of untrusted inputs, allowing attackers to instantiate arbitrary Java objects leading to remote code execution.
This update avoids a very long attack sequence when first try fails.
This update introduces an exploit for Apache ActiveMQ. The vulnerable versions present a path traversal vulnerability in default instalations that allows writing files to arbitrary filesystem locations, with the permissions of the user running the ActiveMQ process.
This module leverages the vulnerability to install an agent. This exploit doesn't require authentication.
The vulnerability is only present when the application is running in a Windows system.
The specific flaw exists within the edit_lf_process resource of the AccuRev Reprise License Manager service. The issue lies in the ability to write arbitrary files with controlled data. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of SYSTEM.
This update introduces a number of improvements related to the architecture
of the agent installed and scenarios where multiple targets are tested.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Apache Tomcat JK Web Server Connector and installs an agent. An attacker can use an overly long URL to trigger a buffer overflow in the URL work map routine (map_uri_to_worker()) in the mod_jk.so library, resulting in the compromise of the target system.
This package improves the reliability of the exploit.
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in EMC Data Protection Advisor (DAP). Vulnerable installations of EMC DPA exposes the EJBInvokerServlet invoker servlet which does not require any type of authentication by default on certain profiles and allow remote attackers to invoke MBean methods and execute arbitrary code.
