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.

Apple Mac OS X ATSServer CFF CharStrings INDEX Sign Mismatch Exploit
A sign mismatch error exist in ATSServer when handling the last offset value of the CharStrings INDEX structure.
Apple Mac OS X DirectoryService SwapProxyMessage Unchecked objOffset Remote DoS
This module exploits a vulnerability in Mac OS X Directory Service Proxy by sending a crafted packet to port TCP 625, causing a denial of service effect.
Apple Mac OS X DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability present in Mac OS X. dyld in Apple OS X before 10.10.5 does not properly validate pathnames in the environment, which allows local users to gain root privileges via the DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE environment variable.
Apple Mac OS X HFS Plus Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
XNU 1228.9.59 and earlier on Apple Mac OS X 10.5.6 and earlier does not properly restrict interaction between user space and the HFS IOCTL handler. This allows local users to overwrite kernel memory and gain privileges by attaching an HFS+ disk image and performing certain steps involving HFS_GET_BOOT_INFO fcntl calls.
Apple Mac OS X Samba NetWkstaTransportEnum Request Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Mac OS X Samba server. When a specially crafted call to "NetWkstaTransportEnum" RPC function is processed by the Samba server, it produces a heap overflow.
Apple Mac OS X Samba NetWkstaTransportEnum Request Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Mac OS X Samba server. When a specially crafted call to "NetWkstaTransportEnum" RPC function is processed by the Samba server, it produces a heap overflow. This update adds support to Mac OSX 10.6.0 to 10.6.7 ( Server and not server versions ). Besides, this update improves the exploitation by reverting the Samba server impersonation and installing an agent with root privileges in all Mac OSX supported versions.
Apple Mac OS X XPC Entitlements Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The Admin framework in Apple OS X contains a hidden backdoor API to gain root privileges. A local user can exploit this flaw in the checking of XPC entitlements.
Apple QuickTime H264 Movie Files Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability exists within the way Quicktime parse h264 movies. The application will use a length that is defined within the structure to copy data into a statically sized buffer on the stack.
Apple Quicktime Invalid Atom Length Buffer Overflow Exploit
Buffer Overflow when Quicktime fails to properly handle the data length for certain atoms such as 'rdrf' or 'dref' in the Alis record by loading a specially crafted .MOV file.
Apple QuickTime Java toQTPointer() code execution exploit
This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in the Java QuickTime for Java (QtJava.dll) browser plug-in. The module runs a malicious web server on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user(s) to connect to it with a Java-enabled browser using the vulnerable plug-in. When a user connects to the site they trigger the exploit and the module attempts to install an agent on their computer.
Apple QuickTime Java toQTPointer() code execution exploit update
This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in the Java QuickTime for Java (QtJava.dll) browser plug-in. The module runs a malicious web server on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user(s) to connect to it with a Java-enabled browser using the vulnerable plug-in. When a user connects to the site they trigger the exploit and the module attempts to install an agent on their computer. This update adds support for Safari browser in Mac OS X (i386) and adds Opera support in Windows.
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.
