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.

This module exploits a vulnerability in the Symantec BackupExec Calendar Control (PVCalendar.ocx). When the _DOWText0 property processes a long string argument, a stack based buffer overflow occurs allowing execution of arbitrary code.
Now SMS MMS Gateway Web Authorization Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing the web interface of Now SMS MMS Gateway.
Novell Client for Netware is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the nwspool.dll that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows NAT Helper Component (ipnathlp.dll) when Internet Connection Sharing is enabled, sending a specially crafted DNS query.
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.
SIDVault LDAP Server Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the LDAP service (sidvault.exe) of the SIDVault LDAP application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet to port 389/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the DoWebMenuAction function in the IncrediMail IMMenuShellExt ActiveX control (ImShExt.dll) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
Adobe Reader and Acrobat PDF subroutine pointer exploit update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 7.0.8 and earlier, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute code via a crafted PDF file that triggers memory corruption and overwrites a subroutine pointer during rendering. This update adds Windows Vista support.
Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Word allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted DOC file that triggers memory corruption. Adds support for Windows Vista and Windows 2003
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the OpenBSD kernel; the exploit uses fragmented ICMPv6 packets to take complete control of a target system.
This module exploits a remotely exploitable vulnerability in Windows' Server Service (MS06-040) over Microsoft DCERPC (ports 139 and 445). 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 or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.
AT TFTP Server Long Filename Buffer Overflow Exploit Update 2
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error during the processing of TFTP Read/Write request packet types. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet with an overly long filename field. This update ensures that the program receives all data. This update fixes an error on Impact v12.3.
SAP Netweaver DiagTraceR3Info Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
The DiagTraceR3Info function of the disp+work.exe component of SAP Netweaver is prone to a remote buffer overflow when the work process trace level is set to values 2 or 3 for the Dialog Processor component. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable machine by sending a specially crafted packet containing ST_R3INFO CODEPAGE items.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Keyboard Layout Vulnerability Exploit (MS12-047)
This update replaces the exploit modules for MS12-034. Also it adds support for 64bit versions of Microsoft Windows 2003, Vista and 2008. 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.
This update includes a module that executes a program designed to test a buffer overflow in glibc's __nss_hostname_digits_dots function. The function is used by the gethostbyname*() functions family used for name resolution. Under some circumstances, the use of those functions when the vulnerable underlying function is present, may lead to remote code execution, privilege escalation, or information disclosure.
Jetty Directory Listing Cross Site Scripting Exploit
A Cross-Site scripting vulnerability has been reported in Jetty. This vulnerability can be induced whenever Jetty displays a web directory listing. Client-side script code can be included in the HTTP response by appending it next to directory listing's path, preceded by a ';' character.

TinyWebGallery Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a TinyWebGallery local file-include vulnerability because TinyWebGallery fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. The module takes advantage of the logging capabilities of the attacked software to remotely execute arbitrary code.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability present in Microsoft Internet Information Server versions 5.1 through 6.0. This update makes the name of the file used random to improve reliability, as well as avoid a system error when the file is used. It also adds the possibility of deploying multiple agents.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing ActFax Server. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing an overly long USER name on the FTP Server. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command.
