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
Adobe Acrobat X Pro updaternotifications DLL Hijacking Exploit
Adobe Acrobat X Pro is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named updaternotifications.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder as a .PDF file. The attacker must entice a victim into opening a specially crafted .PDF file. This file and the associated binary may be delivered to a user through remote WebDAV shares. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.

Apache Chunked Encoding Exploit Update
This package fixes a bug in the Apache chunked encoding exploit.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in Wireshark when opening a crafted .PCAP file, resulting in arbitrary code execution. This module bypass DEP using ROP techniques.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the MSCOMCTL.OCX control by sending a specially crafted .RTF 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. 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 vulnerability exists within the handling of MixerSequencer objects. When this object is used to play a MIDI file, the GM_Song structure is populated with song data. In particular, it stores a integer value from the file and uses it later as an index into an array of function pointers. If this value is over 128 the process can be made to call a pointer outside the array.
Novell File Reporter NFRAgent VOL Tag Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability exists within NFRAgent.exe listening on TCP port 3037. When parsing tags inside the VOL element, the process performs insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data prior to copying it on the stack.

Impact
Triologic Player M3U Unicode SEH Buffer Overflow Exploit
Triologic Media Player contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Triologic Player when handling misleading m3u files. This situation leads to a buffer overflow and allows an attacker to overwrite an SEH Pointer and get control of execution. This is an UNICODE overflow so special shellcode must be considered. This vulnerability can be exploited via a specially crafted .m3u file.
This module exploits a vulnerability in PHP Charts 1.0. The url.php script eval()s every single GET key/value pair. Leading to code execution.

Impact
HP System Management Homepage ginkgosnmp.inc Command Injection Exploit
The ginkgosnmp.inc PHP script in HP System Management Homepage is vulnerable to OS command injection. This vulnerability allows remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected machine with SYSTEM privileges.
This update adds support to Debian 6.0.0 and adds support for attacking IPv6 targets. This module exploits a heap overflow bug in Samba Server by sending a crafted request packet via DCERPC call.
SAP Netweaver Message Server _MsJ2EE_AddStatistics Memory Corruption Exploit
The Message Server component of SAP Netweaver is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability when the _MsJ2EE_AddStatistics function handles a specially crafted request with iflag value 0x0c MS_J2EE_SEND_TO_CLUSTERID, or 0x0d MS_J2EE_SEND_BROADCAST. This vulnerability can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server.
Microsoft Visio Viewer DXF File Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS12-059)
Microsoft Visio Viewer is prone to a buffer-overflow when handling specially crafted DXF files. 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.
