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.

Product Name
HP Client Automation Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a command injection vulnerability in HP Client Automation. The flaw exists within the radexecd.exe component which listens by default on TCP port 3465. When handling a remote execution request the process does not properly authenticate the user issuing the request. The command to be executed is also not properly sanitized. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of SYSTEM. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
HP Data Protector Cell Manager Opcode 259 Remote Code Execution Exploit
The specific flaw exists within crs.exe which listens by default on a random TCP port. When parsing different opcodes, the process blindly copies user supplied data into a fixed-length stack buffer. A remote attacker can abuse this to execute remote code under the context of the SYSTEM user.
HP Data Protector Cell Manager Opcode 263 Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within crs.exe which listens by default on a random TCP port. When parsing opcodes 214, 215, 216, 219, 257, and 263, the process blindly copies user supplied data into a fixed-length stack buffer.
HP Data Protector Client EXEC_SETUP Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a design flaw in HP Data Protector by sending a specially crafted EXEC_SETUP request. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the EXEC_SETUP command. This command instructs a Data Protector client to download and execute a setup file. A malicious attacker can instruct the client to access a file off of a share thus executing arbitrary code under the context of the current user.
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in HP Data Protector, by sending a specially crafted packet to the port 3817/TCP, which will trigger a buffer overflow when processed by the DtbClsLogin function in the dpwindtb.dll module.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in HP Data Protector by sending a specially crafted EXEC_CMD request. This update fixes an issue when using InjectorEgg.
HP Data Protector Express Opcode 0x330 Parsing Remote Code Execution Exploit
A buffer Overflow exists within the dpwinsdr.exe process which listens on TCP port 3817 by default. The process has insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data copied to a fixed-length buffer on the stack. Remote, unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending malformed opcode 0x330 message packets to the target.
The RDS service (rds.exe) in HP Data Protector Manager 6.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a packet with a large data size to TCP port 1530.
HP Data Protector Omniinet.exe Remote Buffer Overflow
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in HP Data Protector by sending a specially crafted packet to the vulnerable Omniinet.exe service.
HP Easy Printer Care XMLCacheMgr Class ActiveX Control Code Execution Exploit
This module allows remote attackers to place arbitrary files on a users file system by abusing the "CacheDocumentXMLWithId" method from the "XMLCacheMgr" class in the HP Easy Printer HPTicketMgr.dll ActiveX Control (HPTicketMgr.dll 2.7.2.0). Code execution can be achieved by first uploading the payload to the remote machine embeddeding a vbs file, and then upload another mof file, which enables Windows Management Instrumentation service to execute the vbs.
HP Easy Printer Care XMLSimpleAccessor Class ActiveX Control Code Execution Exploit
This module allows remote attackers to place arbitrary files on a users file system by abusing the "saveXML" method from the "XMLSimpleAccessor" class in the HP Easy Printer HPTicketMgr.dll ActiveX Control (HPTicketMgr.dll 2.7.2.0). Code execution can be achieved by first uploading the payload to the remote machine embedding a vbs file, and then upload another mof file, which enables Windows Management Instrumentation service to execute the vbs.
HP iNode Management Center iNodeMngChecker Remote Code Execution Exploit
The flaw exists within the iNodeMngChecker.exe component which listens by default on TCP port 9090. When handling the 0x0A0BF007 packet type the process blindly copies user supplied data into a fixed-length buffer on the stack.
HP Intelligent Management Center mibFileUpload Servlet Remote Exploit
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in HP Intelligent Management Center by using the "mibFileUpload" servlet to upload an arbitrary .JSP file.
HP Intelligent Management Center UAM sprintf Buffer Overflow Exploit
A stack buffer overflow exists in HP Intelligent Management Center's uam.exe service which listens on port UDP/1811. The vulnerability is due to lack of validation of a string passed to sprintf.

HP Intelligent Management FaultDownloadServlet Directory Traversal Exploit
This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in HP Intelligent Management Center. Due to a lack of authentication and a directory traversal vulnerability in the FaultDownloadServlet component, an attacker can retrieve arbitrary files.
HP Intelligent Management IctDownloadServlet Directory Traversal Exploit
This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in HP Intelligent Management Center. Due to a lack of authentication and a directory traversal vulnerability in the IctDownloadServlet component, an attacker can retrieve arbitrary files.

HP Linux Imaging and Printing exploit
A vulnerability has been identified in HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (HPLIP), which could be exploited by local attackers to obtain elevated privileges. This issue is caused by input validation errors in the hpssd daemon that does not validate user-supplied data before being passed to a popen3() call, which could be exploited by malicious users to inject and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. This package include local and remote versions of the exploit.
