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.

Miele Professional PG 8528 Directory Traversal Vulnerability
This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in embeded webserver PST10
Multiple MicroWorld eScan products are vulnerable to a remote command-execution vulnerability because they fail to properly sanitize user-supplied input. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary commands with superuser privileges. Successful attacks will completely compromise affected computers. The issue affects the following products versions prior to 4.1.x: eScan for Linux Desktop, eScan for Linux File Servers, MailScan for Linux Mail servers, WebScan for Linux Proxy Servers.
This module exploits a vulnerability in MICROSYS PROMOTIC.

Microsoft Works wkimgsrv.dll Memory Corruption Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the wkimgsrv.dll control shipped with Microsoft Works and many Microsoft Office Suites. The exploit is triggered when the WksPictureInterface() method processes a number as argument resulting in a memory corruption. The WksPictureInterface(), in certain circumstances, points to an invalid memory address that can be controlled to gain code execution.
Microsoft Works File Parsing WPS Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Office (.WPS files). The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors within the processing of WPS files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened. This update adds Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 as Supported Systems and fixes a small bug in the function that generate the files.
Microsoft Works File Parsing WPS Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Office (.WPS files). The vulnerability is caused due to boundary error within the processing of WPS files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened.
