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.

Mac OS X AppleScript ARDAgent Shell Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
The problem is that "ARDAgent", which is owned by "root" and has the setuid bit set, can be invoked to execute shell commands via AppleScript (e.g. through "osascript"). This can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.
Mac OS X CUPS lppasswd Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a format string vulnerability in CUPS lppasswd in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.6 that allows local users to get code execution with elevated privileges.
An error handling mechanism in the kernel of Mac OS X, provides the ability to control programs when certain types of errors are encountered. This module uses this mechanism to execute arbitrary code in privileged programs if an error is encountered.

Mac OS X pppd Plugin Loading Privilege Escalation Exploit
The PPP daemon (pppd) in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8 checks ownership of the stdin file descriptor to determine if the invoker has sufficient privileges, which allows local users to load arbitrary plugins and gain root privileges by bypassing this check.
Mac OS X smcFanControl Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in smcFanControl on Apple Mac OS X 10.4.x when the software is installed with setuid root. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to obtain root privileges.
