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.

ReginControls REGIO Tool Remote File Delete 0-Day Exploit
This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them.
This vulnerability exists within the handling of MixerSequencer objects. When this object is used to play a MIDI file, the GM_Song structure is populated with song data. In particular, it stores a integer value from the file and uses it later as an index into an array of function pointers. If this value is over 128 the process can be made to call a pointer outside the array.
Microsoft Windows TrueType Font Parsing Vulnerability Clientside DoS (MS11-087)
When a crafted TTF file is processed by Windows kernel it produces a stack exhaustion finishing it in a BSoD.
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.
The flaw exists within the nipplib.dll component. When handling the exposed method GetDriverSettings the application assembles a string for logging consisting of the hostname/port provided as a parameter. When building this message the process will blindly copy user supplied data into a fixed-length buffer on the stack.
Oracle Outside In XPM Image Processing Buffer Overflow Exploit
A Buffer Overflow exists in the Oracle Outside SDK when the XPM image processing method does not properly validate the length of chars_per_pixel string within XPM images. This suite is used for 3rd party applications like Quick View Plus.
This module exploits a vulnerability in ContentMan.dll included in the HP Photo Creative application. The exploit is triggered when the CRecord() method processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
VLC Media Player wintab32 DLL Hijacking Exploit Update
VLC Media Player is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of wintab32.dll if this dll is located in the same folder as a .MP3 file. This update adds CVE number and makes exploit compatible with the last WebDav version.
Adobe InDesign CS4 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 than a .INX file.
Altova DatabaseSpy 2011 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 than a .QPRJ file.
Adobe Extension Manager CS5 is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of dwmapi.dll if this dll is located in the same folder than .MXI file.
Adobe Flash Professional CS5 dwmapi DLL Hijacking Exploit
Adobe Flash Professional CS5 is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of dwmapi.dll if this dll is located in the same folder than .FLA file.
Microsoft Office Word RTF Parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS10-087) Update
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office Word by sending a specially crafted .RTF file with a malformed pFragments record.
This update adds support for Office Word 2007 SP2 and Office Word 2002 SP3.
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
Foxit Reader Title Parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit
Foxit Reader is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing a user to open a malicious PDF file containing an overly long title.
By providing an overly long string to the AccessCode2 parameter, an attacker may be able to overflow the static stack buffer. The attacker may then execute code on the target device remotely.
The specific flaw exists within the DVC.DvcCtrl ActiveX Control in dvs.ocx. The control does not check the length of an attacker-supplied string in the GetColor method before copying it into a fixed length buffer on the stack. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser process.
Microsoft Outlook Moniker Link UNC Path Information Disclosure Exploit Update
This exploit leverages an information disclosure vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook. By using a crafted path, unauthorized access can be obtained, allowing for the theft of NTLM hashes.
This update add suport for unautheticated SMTP servers.
VLC is able to handle the subtitles automatically in a very simple way, it just checks the presence of ssa files with the same name of the loaded video and a possible subtitles folder. The functions which handle the MicroDvd, SSA and Vplayer subtitle formats are vulnerable to some stack based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities which can allow an attacker to execute malicious code.
