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 OpenType Font Driver Vulnerability Exploit (MS15-078) Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in "atmfd.dll" Windows driver by loading a crafted OTF font. This update adds support to Windows 8 and Windows 2012.
Microsoft Windows OpenType Font Driver Vulnerability Exploit (MS15-078)
This module exploits a vulnerability in "atmfd.dll" Windows driver by loading a crafted OTF font. 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.
Microsoft Windows OpenType Font Double Free DoS (MS10-091)
A double free vulnerability in the OpenType Font (OTF) driver in Windows could allow local users to escalate their privileges via a specially crafted OpenType font.
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.
Microsoft Windows OLE Property Code Execution Exploit (MS11-093)
Microsoft Windows does not properly handle OLE objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted object within a file.
Microsoft Windows OLE Packager INF File Remote Code Execution Exploit (MS14-060)
The OLE packager component (packager.dll) of Microsoft Windows will automatically download remote files referenced in embedded OLE objects within Office documents. In the case of .INF installer files, packager.dll will automatically run them without prompting the user. This can be abused to gain arbitrary code execution by creating an Office document with an embedded OLE object containing a reference to a remote INF file with specially crafted commands. This vulnerability can be exploited by convincing an unsuspecting user to open a specially crafted PowerPoint document.
Microsoft Windows OLE Package Manager Code Execution Exploit (MS14-064) Update
Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted OLE object, as exploited in the wild in October 2014 with a crafted PowerPoint document.
Microsoft Windows OLE Package Manager Code Execution Exploit (MS14-064)
Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted OLE object, as exploited in the wild in October 2014 with a crafted PowerPoint document.
Microsoft Windows OLE Automation Array Remote Code Execution Exploit (MS14-064) Update
An integer overflow in OLE allows remote code execution. This update contains a module exploiting the vulnerability by hosting a web site and epxloiting connecting Internet Explorer browsers.

Microsoft Windows Object Packager Insecure Executable Loading Exploit (MS12-002)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Windows registers and uses the Windows Object Packager that may allow the execution of any executable file named packager.exe, if this executable is located in the same folder than a .PPSX file. 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.
