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.

UltraISO CCD and IMG Buffer Overflow Exploit
A stack-based buffer overflow in UltraISO allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via crafted .CCD and .IMG file.
The Ultra Office Control ActiveX control (OfficeCtrl.ocx) is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web page that passes an overly long string to the HttpUpload() method, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the current user or cause the victim's browser to crash.
Ultra Mini HTTPD Stack Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Mini HTTPD when processing HTTP GET Request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command. Arbitrary code can be directly executed by overwriting a return address. This update only adds CVE Number.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Mini HTTPD when processing HTTP GET Request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command. Arbitrary code can be directly executed by overwriting a return address.
The logging function used by the Ultr@VNC server is affected by a limited buffer-overflow caused by two strcat calls which add a Windows error message to the output buffer causing the server to crash and stop responding to further connections.
The specific flaw exists within processing of the AddStringUserProperty method within the UCCDRAW.UCCDrawCtrl.1 ActiveX control. The process does not properly validate a user-supplied value prior to dereferencing it as a pointer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.

Ubuntu Linux USBCreator D-Bus Service KVMTest Privilege Escalation Exploit
The KVMTest method in the com.ubuntu.USBCreator D-Bus service in Ubuntu Linux can invoke the kvm binary with root privileges using an arbitrary environment provided by an unprivileged user.
This flaw can be leveraged by a local unprivileged attacker to gain root privileges.
The Ubuntu 5.10 installer does not properly clear passwords from the installer log file (questions.dat), and leaves the log file with world-readable permissions, which allows local users to gain privileges
Ubee EVW3226 modem/router allows to unauthenticated user disclose the username and password remotely.

TYPSoft FTP Server RETR DoS
This module shuts down the TYPSoft FTP Server because it fails to properly handle user-supplied malformed packets using for login the Anonymous user provided by default for the program
This module exploits insecure randomness vulnerability in Typo3, which leads to XSS attacks. This module tries to guess the Typo3 encryptionKey by exploiting its insecure randomness. If guessed, it will install an XSS Agent.
TwonkyMedia Server Error Page Cross Site Scripting Exploit
Input passed via the URL is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. This update lists the module in Impact's WebApp view.

TweakFS Zip Utility Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing archives containing an entry with an overly long name. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted .ZIP file.
