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.

Shadow Stream Recorder Buffer Overflow Exploit
Shadow Stream Recorder is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the applications fail to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Keyboard Layout Vulnerability Exploit (MS12-034) Update 3
This update adds support to Microsoft Windows XP with the MS12-034 patch installed.
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.
OpenKM allows administrative users (those having the AdminRole) to run bean shell scripts. Due to this permission an attacker could lure an OpenKM administrator to a malicious web page that causes arbitrary OS commands to run in the administrators OpenKM session context.
TRENDnet SecurView Internet Camera UltraMJCam OpenFileDlg Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability exists in TRENDnet SecurView Internet Camera's ActiveX control that can be exploited by sending a long string of data to the OpenFileDlg() function.
This module exploits an argument injection vulnerability in PHP up to version 5.3.12 and 5.4.2 when running as a standalone CGI processor and takes advantage of the -d flag to achieve remote code execution.
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.
MPlayer SAMI Subtitle File Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in MPlayer. A stack-based buffer overflow in the sub_read_line_sami function in MPlayer SVN Versions before 33471 and SMPlayer 0.6.9 and older versions allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a SAMI subtitle file.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Keyboard Layout Vulnerability Exploit (MS12-034) Update 2
This update adds support to Microsoft Windows 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.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Keyboard Layout Vulnerability Exploit (MS12-034)
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.
Input passed via the "page" parameter to index.php is not properly sanitised in the "Router()" function in core/lib/router.php before being used in an "eval()" call. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code.
Microsoft Office Excel RTD Data Record Processing Stack Overwrite Exploit (MS11-021) Update 2
The flaw exists within the methods used for RealTimeData Record Parsing. When handling a stTopic field that has a bit set specifying double byte characters in the following field the value of a global pointer is improperly calculated.
This version adds Windows 7 support and updates the CVE number.
The ExceptionDelegator component of the XWork framework, part of the Apache Struts 2 web framework, as shipped with Atlassian FishEye, interprets parameters values as OGNL expressions when handling a type conversion error.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server by tricking a logged-in user with administrator privileges within the FishEye site to visit a specially crafted web page.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the MSCOMCTL.OCX control by sending a specially crafted .RTF 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. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs
or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.

A buffer overflow in NetDecision's HTTP service is exploited when a long URL is managed by the HTTP Server's active window. For successfull exploitation, the victim need to have the HttpSvr's window open.
SolarWinds Storage Manager Server SQL Injection Authentication Bypass Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the SolarWinds Storage Manager Server. The LoginServlet page available on port 9000 is vulnerable to SQL injection via the loginName field. An attacker can send a specially crafted username and execute arbitrary SQL commands leading to remote code execution.
Oracle Java AtomicReferenceArray Type Confusion Exploit
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.
IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express for Software ActiveX Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the way the ActiveX Control parses data supplied to the RunAndUploadFile function. The ActiveX control is used to create an Asset Information file for the local system to be uploaded to the IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express Server.
