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.

Exploit Type
Product Name
Adobe PageMaker Fontname exploit
This module sends a mail with a specially crafted .pmd attachment. Once open, vulnerable versions of Adobe PageMaker will install an agent.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the database service (ibserver.exe) of the Borland InterBase application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted "create" request to port 3050/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
Microsoft SQL Server Distributed Management Objects Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the SQLDMO.DLL control included in the Microsoft SQL Server application. The exploit is triggered when the Start() 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 update adds support for Windows 2000 SP0 and fixes a reliability issue. The module exploits a vulnerability in the .HTR ISAPI filter in early versions of IIS.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the SiteManager ActiveX Control (sitemanager.dll). A validation error in the ExportSiteList() method allows an attacker to run arbitrary code on the target system. The module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer) to connect to it. When a client connects, it will try to install a Level0v2 agent by exploiting this vulnerability.
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow handling the mail headers in the OWA (Outlook Web Access) service when processing meeting requests of Exchange Server clients (MS06-019).
There is a buffer overflow in the script-fu server component of GIMP (the GNU Image Manipulation Program) when sending a crafted package to the port 10008.
A stack overflow found in RabidHamster R4's web server by supplying a malformed HTTP request when generating a log.
Windows
Exploits/Remote
Impact
Oracle Outside In sccfut dll Buffer Overflow Exploit
The flaw exists within the sccfut.dll component which is used by multiple vendors. The process copies the target of a crafted tag to a local stack buffer.
Apple QuickTime TeXML Stack Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
A vulnerability found in Apple QuickTime Player when handling a crafted TeXML file, it is possible to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow. This update bypass DEP for Internet Explorer 8 support and for execute the mov file directly in Quicktime player.
The specific flaw exists within the 'factory' object's loadExtensionFactory method. The issue lies in a failure to validate the size of an attacker-supplied input before copying it into a fixed-size buffer on the stack. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
Microsoft Windows Telnet Server ProcessDataReceivedOnSocket DoS (MS15-002) Update
A stack-based buffer overflow in the ProcessDataReceivedOnSocket function in the Microsoft Telnet Server Helper (tlntsess.exe) can be used by remote unauthenticated attackers to render the Telnet server unresponsive. This update improves the way in which this module detects if the attack was successful.
This exploit takes advantage of a vulnerability that allows attackers to cause ProFTP to execute arbitrary code via a malformed welcome message of the server.
A weakness has been reported in WordPress which can be exploited to bypass certain security restrictions. The weakness is due to a bug within the password reset functionality when verifying the secret key. This can be exploited to reset the password of the first user without a key in the database (usually administrator) without providing the correct secret key.
Exploits/Authentication Weakness
Impact
PulseAudio Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a race condition vulnerability in PulseAudio on Linux systems to gain elevated privileges.
Apple QuickTime PICT File PnSize Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability exists within the way Quicktime handles the PnSize PICT opcode. It converts an unsigned 16 bit value into a signed 32 bit value, this is later used as the size parameter for a memory copy function that copies from the file onto the stack. The results in a stack based buffer overflow that allows for remote code execution under the context of the current user.
Iconics Genesis SCADA HMI Genbroker Server Exploit
The Genesis GenBroker service is listening port 38080 and is affected by integer overflow vulnerabilities while handling crafted packets in opcode 0x4b0.
Windows
Exploits/Remote
Impact
Adobe Flash Player Arguments Indexing Exploit
Flash Player is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability that is caused by the lack of bounds-checking when indexing the arguments of a function. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by enticing an unsuspecting user to visit a malicious Web page containing a specially crafted SWF file. This exploit bypasses ASLR and DEP in order to deploy an agent.
The ByteComponentRaster.verify() method in Oracle Java versions prior to 7u25 holds a memory corruption vulnerability that allows the bypassing of "dataOffsets[]" boundary checks. This module exploits such vulnerability allowing for remote code execution.
Nginx HTTP Server Chuncked Encoding Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability present in Nginx by bypassing the stack cookie protection and by reordering the TCP packets to make it reliable.
This vulnerability is a buffer overflow and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of ABB MicroSCADA Wserver without authentication. The specific flaw exists within the wserver.exe component which listens on TCP port 12221. This component performs insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data which results in stack buffer ovreflow.
