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.

NeoTrace ActiveX Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the NeoTraceExplorer ActiveX Control (NeoTraceExplorer.dll). The exploit is triggered when a long string argument is processed by the TraceTarget() method resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the NCTAudioFile2.AudioFile ActiveX Control (NCTAudioFile2.dll) used by various multimedia applications. The exploit is triggered when a long string argument is processed by the SetFormatLikeSample() method resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site.
NaviCOPA Web Server Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of HTTP GET requests. This may allow execution of arbitrary code by sending an overly long, specially crafted HTTP GET request to the server.
A vulnerability has been reported in Nagios, which can be exploited by malicious users to potentially compromise a vulnerable system. Input passed to the "ping" parameter in statuswml.cgi is not properly sanitized before being used to invoke the ping command. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands. Additional research revealed that this parameter is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery. This module exploits the XSRF vulnerability in order to install an agent using the command injection vulnerability.
MySQL with yaSSL SSL Certificate Handling Remote Stack Buffer Overflow Exploit
MySQL compiled with yaSSL is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.
MySQL 4.0.23 and earlier, and 4.1.x up to 4.1.10, allows remote authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE privileges to execute arbitrary code by using CREATE FUNCTION to access libc calls. This module exploits this vulnerability, and this update improve the exploit reliability.
This module exploits a remote vulnerability to install an agent into the target host.

mySCADA myPRO 7 remote discover all ProjectID
mySCADA myPRO 7 allows remote attackers to discover all ProjectIDs in a project by sending all of the prj parameter values from 870000 to 875000 requests to TCP port 11010.
A vulnerability has been reported in MyBB, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks. Input passed via the "birthdayprivacy" parameter to inc/datahandlers/user.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. Successful exploitation requires a valid user account. The vulnerability is reported in MyBB 1.4.x versions prior to 1.4.7.
A backdoor introduced in the source code of MyBB allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on systems running vulnerable installations of MyBB. This update adds support for the Solaris platform.

Music Animation Machine MIDI SEH Buffer Overflow Exploit
Music Animation Machine MIDI Player contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in MAM Player when handling misleading MIDI files. This situation leads to a buffer overflow and allows an attacker to overwrite an SEH Pointer and get control of execution. This vulnerability can be exploited via a specially crafted .mamx file.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in MUSE when handling .PLS files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .PLS file.

MSRPC WKSSVC NetrGetJoinInformation Heap Corruption DoS (MS09-041)
This module exploits an improperly memory free by sending a specially crafted RPC packet to cause a DoS condition on the target machine. 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 exploits a stack buffer overflow in the Workstation Service. This package addresses a compatibility problem when porting the module from version 7.6 to 8.0 of the framework.
