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.

Microsoft Windows CreateSizedDIBSECTION Thumbnail View Buffer Overflow Exploit
Microsoft Windows is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability in the Windows Graphics Rendering Engine because the software fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data. 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.
Bentley Microstation 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 .HLN file.

Foxit Phantom PDF Suite Title Parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit
Foxit Phantom PDF Suite is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability that occurs because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data via a crafted .PDF document.
A vulnerability within the webvact ActiveX control when handling NodeName parameter with overly long strings can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows in Advantech WebAccess Browser-based HMI/SCADA Software.
Microsoft Windows On-Screen Keyboard Mouse Input Privilege Escalation Exploit (MS14-039)
The On-Screen Keyboard application of Microsoft Windows is prone to a privilege escalation vulnerability when handling mouse input originated from a process running with Low Integrity Level. This vulnerability allows an agent running with Low Integrity Level to escalate privileges in order to install a new agent that will run with Medium Integrity Level. 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.
Apple CUPS IPP_TAG_UNSUPPORTED Handling null pointer DoS
This module exploits a vulnerability in Apple CUPS, when handling the IPP_TAG_UNSUPPORTED which could be exploited by attackers to cause a remote pre-authentication denial of service.
SAP AG SAPgui EAI WebViewer3D Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack overflow in Siemens Unigraphics Solutions Teamcenter Visualization EAI WebViewer3D ActiveX control that is bundled with SAPgui. When parsing an overly long string the SaveViewToSessionFile() method, arbitrary code may be executed.
This module exploits an authentication vulnerability in OpenSite 2.1. The function init in origin/libs/user.php checks for a matching origin_hash cookie. However, this cookie can be bruteforced in at most 2^32 tries for a known username. Actually, the number of attempts could be significantly reduced knowing that we do not have to check for time in the future, and long past. This works for OpenSite 2.1 and below.
