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.

IE createTextRange() exploit
This module exploits a createTextRange call on a checkbox object in Internet Explorer 6, which results in a dereference of an invalid table pointer. 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.
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install a Level0 agent by exploiting a vulnerability in the "devenum.dll" COM object when instantiated in Internet Explorer via a specially crafted HTML tag (MS05-038).
This module tries to install a Level0 agent by exploiting a vulnerability in the "javaprxy.dll" COM Object when instantiated in Internet Explorer via a specially crafted HTML tag.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 on Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP1 contains a vulnerability when viewing a web site using the HTTP 1.1 protocol. If the web site uses HTTP 1.1 compression and contains an overly long URL, a buffer overflow can occur. This vulnerability was introduced with the first release of the MS06-042. This module exploits this vulnerability. WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module.
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by instancing TLBINF32.DLL (sometimes installed as VSTLBINF.DLL) with a malicious DLL (IMPActiveX.ocx) as parameter. IMPActiveX.ocx has a helpstringdll property pointing to itself, and implements DLLGetDocumentation to install an agent.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the Microsoft Internet Explorer via a Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long fill parameter within a rect tag in a Vector Markup Language (VML) 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.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the Microsoft Internet Explorer via a Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long fill parameter within a rect tag in a Vector Markup Language (VML) file. This update adds support for Windows XP and Windows 2003.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the Microsoft Internet Explorer via a Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long fill parameter within a rect tag in a Vector Markup Language (VML) file. This update adds support for Lotus Notes.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services. 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.
This update improves the reliability of the 'ISS ASP Server-Side Include exploit'. The module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SSINC.DLL file used by Microsoft IIS 5.0. The exploit is triggered by including long enough filenames in any ASP file.
This exploit forces the IIS process inetinfo.exe to throw an unhandled exception. IIS' behavior depends on the operating system version, its configuration and the system-wide debugger specified in the registry. By default under Windows 2000 Advanced Server 2000 the server will automatically restart. Under Windows 2000 Professional a message box will pop up in the console and the server will not be restarted until a user presses [OK]. WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module.
This exploit forces the IIS process inetinfo.exe to throw an unhandled exception. IIS' behavior depends on the operating system version, its configuration and the system-wide debugger specified in the registry. This update adds more supported platforms to the exploit.
