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.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing CATIA. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when copying a user supplied input to a fixed size stack buffer. The copying procedure stops when a null byte is found and no size check is proceeded.

Impact
IBM SPSS SamplePower vsflex8l ActiveX Control ComboList Property Second Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is a buffer overflow caused due to an error related to the ComboList property within the vsflex8l ActiveX Control.
Schneider Electric OFS Client Buffer Overflow Exploit
When a crafted configuration file is parsed by the client, it may cause a buffer overflow allowing the configuration file execute code on the target PC.
Microsoft Windows Kernel NDProxy Vulnerability Exploit (MS14-002)
This module exploits a vulnerability in Windows kernel ("ndproxy.sys" driver) by calling to the "DeviceIoControl" function with crafted parameters. This module is an update of the original "Microsoft Windows NDProxy DeviceIoControl Vulnerability Exploit" module. Besides, this module adds support to Windows 2003 SP2 64 bits edition.
Adobe Flash Player SWF Load Crafted Module Exploit Update 2
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player triggered when processing a SWF file and this load a crafted dll module. 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 improves the reliability of the exploit.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Apache Struts. The specific vulnerability is in the ParametersInterceptor, which allows a direct manipulation of the ClassLoader and as a result an attacker can execute arbitrary Java code in the target machine. 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.
By properly setting the ProjectURL property, it is possible for an attacker to download an arbitrary dll file from a remote location and run the code in the dll in the context of the target process.
Microsoft Internet Explorer CDisplayPointer Use-After-Free Exploit (MS13-080)
Use after free in Internet Explorer when handling a CDisplayPointer object via the use of a "onpropertychange" event handler. Successful control of the freed memory may leverage arbitrary code execution under the context of the user.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player in the flash.Display.Shader class when setting a Pixel Bender Filte as the Shader bytecode. This vulnerability has been found exploited in-the-wild during April 2014. 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.
This module exploits a type confusion vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. This vulnerability has been found exploited in-the-wild during December 2013. This update improves module documentation, exploit code and adds more vulnerable Adobe Flash Player versions.
This module exploits an integer underflow vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. This vulnerability was exploited in 0day attacks in February 2014. 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.
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in EMC Data Protection Advisor (DAP). Vulnerable installations of EMC DPA exposes the EJBInvokerServlet invoker servlet which does not require any type of authentication by default on certain profiles and allow remote attackers to invoke MBean methods and execute arbitrary code.
This module exploits a type confusion vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. This vulnerability has been found exploited in-the-wild during December 2013. WARNING: This is an early release module.

HP ProCurve Agent AgentServlet Remote Code Execution Exploit
The AgentServlet class in the Web interface of HP ProCurve Agent is prone to an authentication bypass vulnerability when handling HEAD requests. This vulnerability can be abused by remote unauthenticated attackers to modify the configuration of the HP ProCurve Agent, which can ultimately be leveraged to access the Tornado service component and finally execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on the target machine.
A missing boundary check in the TLS Heartbeat extension in OpenSSL can be abused by remote attackers to read up to 64 kb of memory from the server.
