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.

SurgeMail Mail Server Exploit update
This module exploits a buffer overflow in SurgeMail Mail Server and installs an agent into the target host. A buffer overflow vulnerability is located in the function which handles the real CGI executables. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to this module.
This exploit perform three attempts to disable DEP in XP SP2 and Windows 2003.
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by instancing TLBINF32.DLL (sometimes installed as VSTLBINF.DLL) with a malicious DLL (IMPActiveX.ocx) as parameter. IMPActiveX.ocx has a helpstringdll property pointing to itself, and implements DLLGetDocumentation to install an agent.
Fuji Electric Monitouch V-SFT Project File Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within parsing of a V8 project file. The issue lies in the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer.
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.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the database service (fbserver.exe) of the FireBird SQL application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet with a malformed "username" value to port 3050/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
Microsoft Works File Parsing WPS Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Office (.WPS files). The vulnerability is caused due to boundary error within the processing of WPS files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened.
Linux Kernel DCCP_PKT_REQUEST Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a double-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel. The dccp_rcv_state_process function in net/dccp/input.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.11 mishandles DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet data structures in the LISTEN state, which allows local users to escalate privileges via an application that makes an IPV6_RECVPKTINFO setsockopt system call.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Symantec products when the 0x83022323 function is invoked with a specially crafted parameter. The IOCTL 0x83022323 handler in the SYMTDI.SYS device driver in Symantec products allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters to obtain system privileges.
WinPcap NPF.SYS IOCTL Handler Privilege Escalation Exploit Windows 2003 Support
This module exploits a vulnerability in WinPcap. The IOCTL 9031 (BIOCGSTATS) handler in the NPF.SYS device driver in WinPcap before 4.0.1 allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters.
CyberGhost CG6Service Service SetPeLauncherState Vulnerability Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The CG6Service Service in CyberGhost has the SetPeLauncherState method which allows a user to launch a debugger automatically for a determined process.
This can be abused by an attacker to gain SYSTEM privileges by attaching to a SYSTEM process.
The internal stack may be overrun using the controls module with a special crafted control sequence. This condition can be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the ProFTPD process, typically administrator or system.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability when parsing RPC requests through the LSA RPC interface in Samba 3.x. The exploit is triggered by sending a specially crafted RPC LsarLookupSids request to a vulnerable computer.
JBoss Application 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 vulnerability affects the EJBInvokerServlet component of the server.
do_command.c in Vixie cron (vixie-cron) 4.1 does not check the return code of a setuid call, which might allow local users to gain root privileges if setuid fails in cases such as PAM failures or resource limits, as originally demonstrated by a program that exceeds the process limits as defined in /etc/security/limits.conf
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services.

This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in Novell ServiceDesk. The specific flaw is located in the import functionality provided to a user. Authenticated users can upload and execute arbitrary JSP files via a .. (dot dot) in a filename within a multipart/form-data POST request to a LiveTime.woa URL.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of wTextLen information within VU3 files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer.
Pydio Cells Mailer Configuration Remote OS Command Injection Exploit
The administrative console in Pydio Cells allows a user with administrator role to set the path for the sendmail binary executable, when the "sendmail" option is selected in the mailer configuration.
Due to lack of sanitization in the given parameter, an administrator user can set the path to an arbitrary binary.
