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.

CA ARCserve D2D installs the Apache Axis2 Web services engine with the default password for the administrator account, which can be abused by a remote attacker to upload an .AAR web service and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on the machine where the vulnerable software is installed.
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup Discovery Service exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in BrightStor ARCserve/Enterprise Backup, which can be leveraged by an attacker to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the Discovery Service when processing received network traffic. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending an overly large TCP data stream to port 41523.
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup LGServer Service Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the LGServer Service (LGServer.exe) component of CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops and installs an agent if successful. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted packet to port TCP/1900.
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup ListCtrl Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the ListCtrl ActiveX Control (ListCtrl.ocx) used CA BrighStor ARCserve Backup. The exploit is triggered when a long string argument is processed by the AddColumn() method 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.
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup Media Server Exploit Update
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the handling of RPC data in the Computer Associates BrightStor ARCServe Backup Media Server service (mediasvr.exe) which is a component of BrightStor ARCserve Backup Tape Engine.
This update adds support for Windows 2003 SP1 and SP2, Windows Vista SP1 and Windows XP SP3.
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup mediasvr.exe Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup mediasvr.exe. The vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in the mediasvr.exe component when it processes specially crafted RPC requests.
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup Message Service Exploit
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the RPC interface that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer.
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup Message Service Exploit
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the RPC interface that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer.
CA BrightStor Tape Engine Buffer Overflow Exploit update
This module exploits a buffer overflow in CA Brightstor Tape Engine in BrightStor ARCserve Backup v11.5. This package makes a slight change in the documentation of the module.
CA BrightStor Tape Engine exploit for Windows Vista
We are pleased to announce the availability of the first CORE IMPACT exploit for Windows Vista along with initial support for Windows Vista as an exploit target. The first exploit we are releasing is an exploit for a vulnerability in CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup v11.5 (CVE-2007-0169). More exploits for Vista will follow as part of our exploit update service.
This update adds support for Windows Vista as a target for the exploit, and includes modifications to the Windows agent and accompanying payloads to run on all previously supported versions of Windows.
CA iTechnology iGateway Debug Mode Buffer Overflow Exploit
The CA iGateway component, contains a buffer overflow vulnerability due to improper bounds checking on HTTP GET requests by the iGateway component when debug mode is enabled.
CA Total Defense UNCWS Web Service deleteReportFilter Remote Code Execution Exploit
The UNCWS Web Service component of CA Total Defense listens for SOAP requests. The deleteReportFilter method makes use of the uncsp_DeleteFilter stored procedure, which is vulnerable to SQL Injection.
CA Total Defense UNCWS Web Service deleteReportFilter Remote Code Execution Exploit
The UNCWS Web Service component of CA Total Defense listens for SOAP requests. The deleteReportFilter method makes use of the uncsp_DeleteFilter stored procedure, which is vulnerable to SQL Injection.

CA Total Defense UNCWS Web Service getDBConfigSettings Remote Code Execution Exploit
The UNCWS Web Service component of CA Total Defense listens for SOAP requests. A remote unauthenticated attacker can invoke the getDBConfigSettings method, and the Web Service will answer with the server's database credentials. Once that the database credentials are captured, it is possible for a remote attacker to connect to the database and execute arbitrary code under the context of the database administrator.
