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 Platform
Exploit Type
Product Name
Belkin BullDog Plus UPS-Service Buffer Overflow Exploit
The UPS management software contains a built-in web server which allows for remote management of the UPS. The management interface is protected by a username and password and the authentication is performed via Basic authentication. There is a small stack-based overflow in the base64 decoding routine which handles the Basic authentication data.
Bentley Microstation is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named wintab32.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .HLN file.
BigAnt IM Server DDNF Username Buffer Overflow Exploit
BigAnt IM Server is vulnerable to a buffer-overflow within the AntDS.exe component when handling an overly long username.

Exploits/Remote
Impact
BigAnt IM Server HTTP GET Request Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the AntServer Module (AntServer.exe), this can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted, overly long HTTP GET request to default port 6080/TCP.
BigAnt IM Server HTTP GET Request Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in the AntServer Module (AntServer.exe) that can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted, overly long HTTP GET request to default port 6660/TCP.
This update adds support for the latest version of the software, which is still vulnerable to the attack.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of .TORRENT files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking the user into opening a .TORRENT file containing an overly long Created By field.
This module exploits a vulnerability caused due to a boundary error in BlazeHDTV when handling Playlist files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted PLF file.
Blue Coat Authentication and Authorization Agent Buffer Overflow Exploit
Blue Coat BCAAA is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks. This exploit bypasses DEP protection by using ROP techniques.
Blue Coat K9 Web Protection Referer Privilege Escalation Exploit
K9 Web Protection's local administration interface is vulnerable to a stack based buffer overflow while processing Referer HTTP headers. Local attackers could abuse this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM.
