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.

Acrobat Reader DC Double-Free Vulnerability Exploit
Adobe Reader has a built-in sandbox feature that usually makes exploitation difficult. By combining vulnerabilities, this attack achieves code execution and then bypasses the sandbox protection to fully compromise the targeted system.
Acoustica MP3 CD Burner ASX Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing malformed ASX playlist files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow tricking a user into opening a specially crafted playlist file containing a ref tag with an overly long href attribute.
Acoustica Mixcraft is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability in the handling of .MX4 project files, because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data, before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
Acoustica Beatcraft contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Acoustica Beatcraft when handling .BCPROJ files.
A Reflected Cross Site Scripting vulnerability was found in the atksearch[contractnumber], atksearch_AE_customer[customer] and atksearchmode[contracttype] variables within the 'Organisation Contracts' administration page. This is because the application does not properly sanitise the users input.

ACDSee XPM File Handling Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in ACDSee Products (ID_X.apl plugin). The vulnerability is caused due to boundary error in ID_X.apl within the processing of xpm files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened.
Multiple ACDSee products are prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because they fail to perform adequate boundary checks when processing a malformed TIFF image.
This update adds support for older ACDSee versions.
Multiple ACDSee products are prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because they fail to perform adequate boundary checks when processing a malformed TIF image.
ACDSee FotoSlate is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named dwmapi.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .PLP file.
ACDSee Canvas 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 .CVI file.

ABBS Audio Media Player Buffer Overflow Exploit
ABBS Audio Media Player contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in ABBS when handling .lst files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .lst file.
A buffer overflow exists in a component of the Robot Communication Runtime used in some ABB programs for the communications to the IRC5, IRC5C, and IRC5P robot controllers.
This vulnerability is a buffer overflow and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of ABB MicroSCADA Wserver without authentication.
The specific flaw exists within the wserver.exe component which listens on TCP port 12221. This component performs insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data which results in stack buffer ovreflow.
