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.

Microsoft Agent MS07-051 Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability caused due to a boundary error in the Microsoft Agent ActiveX control (agentdpv.dll) when handling specially crafted URLs passed as argument to a certain unspecified method. 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 exploits a vulnerability caused due to a boundary error in the wallclock functionality in SmilTimeValue::parseWallClockValue() when handling time formats. 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.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 on Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP1 contains a vulnerability when viewing a web site using the HTTP 1.1 protocol. If the web site uses HTTP 1.1 compression and contains an overly long URL, a buffer overflow can occur. This vulnerability was introduced with the first release of the MS06-042. This module exploits this vulnerability.
WARNING: This is an early release module.
This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released
Oracle Java AtomicReferenceArray Type Confusion Exploit Update
Unsafe type handling performed by the AtomicReferenceArray class of the Oracle Java Runtime Environment can be abused to cause a type confusion error.
This flaw allows an unprivileged Java applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user.
Adobe Flash Player ByteArray UncompressViaZlibVariant Use-After-Free Exploit Update
Adobe Flash Player is prone to a use-after-free vulnerability because the ByteArray::UncompressViaZlibVariant method frees an object while 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 update adds support for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

Microsoft Office Excel RTD Data Record Processing Stack Overwrite Exploit (MS11-021)
The flaw exists within the methods used for RealTimeData Record Parsing. When handling a stTopic field has a bit set specifying double byte characters in the following field the value of a global pointer is improperly calculated.
WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs
Pixia is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named wintab32.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder as a .PXA file.
The attacker must entice a victim into opening a specially crafted .PXA file. This file and the associated binary may be delivered to a user through remote WebDAV shares. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.
Microsoft PowerPoint Invalid TimeColorBehaviorContainer Record Code Execution Exploit
Microsoft Powerpoint parses a record associated with animation. If a container holds a specific record type, the application will explicitly trust a length used in this record to calculate a pointer for copying floating point numbers to. This can be used to write outside of an allocated buffer and will lead to code execution under the context of the application.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the BarcodeWiz.dll module included in the Barcodewiz application. The exploit is triggered when the LoadProperties() method processes a malformed argument resulting in a memory corruption. 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.
Microsoft Remote Desktop dwmapi DLL Hijacking Exploit (MS11-017)
Microsoft Remote Desktop is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named dwmapi.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder as an .RDP file.
WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations.

Siemens Solid Edge SEListCtrlX ActiveX control is prone to an arbitrary memory write vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.
Elecard MPEG Player contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Elecard MPEG Player when handling .m3u files, situation that leads to a buffer overflow and the possibility to overwrite an SEH Pointer. This can be exploited via a specially crafted .m3u file.
