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.

Product Name
Autodesk Softimage Embedded Script Exploit
This module abuses the scripting functionality in Autodesk Softimage to trigger remote code execution via a project with an embedded script.
Omni-NFS Enterprise FTP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability is caused by a buffer overflow in Omni-NFS Enterprise FTP Server, due to its lack of checking of user-supplied data within FTP requests.
A Remote Code Execution issue has been found in Zabbix version 1.6.2 and no authentication is required in order to exploit this vulnerability. Magic Quotes must be turned off in order to exploit this vulnerability. NOTE: Magic quotes is no longer supported by PHP starting with PHP 6.0
Linux
Exploits/Remote
Impact
Mozilla Firefox Memory Corruption Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and installs an agent on the target machine. This update adds support to mac os x.
FileCopa LIST Command Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
FileCopa FTP Server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling data through the LIST command, a large amount of data can trigger an overflow in a finite-sized internal memory buffer.
Microsoft SQL Server sp_replwritetovarbin Remote Heap Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a heap-based buffer overflow in the Microsoft SQL Server by sending a specially crafted SQL query. It has two uses: One as a Remote Exploit which needs authentication, and another as an SQL Injection Agent installer module, which needs an SQL Agent as a target.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the Sourcefire Snort DCE/RPC preprocessor. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Snort process. This update improves the reliability for Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 and FreeBSD 6.2 on Impact 8.0
Active Directory LDAP Request Handling DoS (MS08-060)
Active Directory, which is an essential component of the Windows 2000 architecture, presents organizations with a directory service designed for distributed computing environments. Active Directory allows organizations to centrally manage and share information on network resources and users while acting as the central authority for network security. The directory services provided by Active Directory are based on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and thus Active Directory objects can be stored and retrieved using the LDAP protocol.
An internal memory buffer may be overrun while handling long MKD commands. This condition may be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the CesarFTP process.
Debian OpenSSL Predictable Random Number Generation Exploit Update
This module exploits the random number generator in Debian's OpenSSL package being predictable. This vulnerability is used to generate SSH keys and to install an agent into the target host. This update contains: -Corrections of some documentation issues. -Performance optimizations. -New parameter for user's preferences.
Numark Cue contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Numark Cue when handling .M3U files.
MSRPC Trend Micro Server Protect AddTaskExportLogItem() Exploit
TrendMicro ServerProtect 5.58 with security patch 3 installed is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the rpc interface that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code.
Orbit Downloader is vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack, which can be exploited by malicious remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability is due to Orbit not properly converting an URL ASCII string to UNICODE. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by downloading a file from a specially crafted URL.
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup ListCtrl Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the ListCtrl ActiveX Control (ListCtrl.ocx) used CA BrighStor ARCserve Backup. The exploit is triggered when a long string argument is processed by the AddColumn() 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 vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing ASUS Remote Console. This exploit disables DEP in the supported systems.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Linux for x86_64. The IA32 system call emulation functionality does not zero extend the eax register after the 32bit entry path to ptrace is used, which might allow local users to trigger an out-of-bounds access to the system call table using the %RAX register and escalate privileges.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the JetAudio ActiveX Control (JetFlExt.dll). The exploit is triggered when a special string argument is processed by the DownloadFromMusicStore() method resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the database service (ibserver.exe) of the Borland InterBase application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted "create" request to port 3050/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
Microsoft SQL Server Distributed Management Objects Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the SQLDMO.DLL control included in the Microsoft SQL Server application. The exploit is triggered when the Start() method processes a long string argument 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 update adds support for Windows 2000 SP0 and fixes a reliability issue. The module exploits a vulnerability in the .HTR ISAPI filter in early versions of IIS.
