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.

Kingsoft Internet Security Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Kingsoft Internet Security. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaws exists within the processing of IOCTL 0x80030004 or 0x80030008 by the KWatch3.sys (internet security) kernel driver. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied data which can result in a kernel stack buffer overflow.
Kingsoft Writer 2010 is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of plgpf.dll if this dll is located in the same folder than .WPS file.

Kingsoft Writer WPS Font Names Buffer Overflow Exploit
Kingsoft Writer is prone to a Buffer Overflow when handling font names via a specially crafted WPS file with an overly long font name.
KingView Scada is vulnerable to a buffer overflow error in the HistorySvr.exe module when processing malformed packets sent to port 777/TCP. This update adds new indirection using shell32.dll version 6.0.0.2900.5512.
Kolibri Webserver HEAD Request Processing Buffer Overflow Exploit
A vulnerability in Kolibri Webserver is caused by a buffer overflow error when handling overly long HEAD requests. This action could allow remote unauthenticated attackers to compromise a vulnerable web server via a specially crafted request.

Landesk Gateway Web Interface Command Injection Exploit
The LANDesk web application does not sufficiently verify if a well-formed request was created by the user whose browser submitted the request. Using this flaw an external remote attacker can use a Cross-site Request Forgery attack via a user with a LANDesk session to run arbitrary code using the gsbadmin user (that is the user running the web-server), the gsbadmin user has sudo privileges.
This module exploits a file upload vulnerability in the LANDesk Lenovo ThinkManagement Console. Unrestricted file upload in andesk/managementsuite/core/core.anonymous/ServerSetup.asmx in the ServerSetup web service in Lenovo ThinkManagement Console allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with an executable extension via a PutUpdateFileCore command in a RunAMTCommand SOAP request.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Alert Service (aolnsrvr.exe) component of LANDesk Management Suite 8.7 and installs an agent if successful. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted packet to port UDP/65535.
