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.

Adobe Flash Player Pixel Bender Exploit
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.

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. This memory disclosure vulnerability can be used by remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive information from the affected server, including private keys and session cookies. 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 Word RTF listoverridecount Object Confusion Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Word 2010 when parsing a specially crafted RTF file. This vulnerability was found being exploited in-the-wild during March 2014.
Schneider Electric Serial Modbus Driver Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is a buffer overflow in Schneider Electric OPC factory Suite which bundle the vulnerable component Schneider Electric Modbus Serial Driver (ModbusDrv.exe).
The VBoxSF.sys driver is a component of VirtualBox Guest Additions, which is in charge of providing the 'Shared Folders' feature offered by Oracle VirtualBox. This driver doesn't properly validate a pointer when handling the IOCTL_MRX_VBOX_DELCONN IoControl. This allows an unprivileged user in a Windows Guest OS with VirtualBox Guest Additions installed to gain SYSTEM privileges within the Guest OS.
A Stack-based buffer overflow in VideoLAN VLC media player allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted MMS:// stream. This version fix a bug with source ip calculation.
IBM Installation Manager URI Handler Argument Injection Exploit Update
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by instantiating the "iim" uri handler with a malicious DLL(impact.dll) as parameter. This update adds WEBDav support.
Microsoft Windows TCP IPv6 Router Advertisement Message DoS (MS14-006)
This module exploits a vulnerability in tcpip.sys by sending a big number of router advertisement messages to the target causing a stop responding behavior.
Oracle VirtualBox 3D Acceleration Virtual Machine Escape Exploit
The code that implements 3D acceleration for OpenGL graphics in Oracle VirtualBox is prone to multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities. An attacker running code within a Guest operating system can exploit these vulnerabilities in order to escape from the virtual machine and execute arbitrary code on the Host operating system.
Oracle Database Server is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to poison the data handled by the remote 'TNS Listener' component of the application. This module tries to verify if the vulnerability is present in the 'TNS Listener' component of the database server, without deploying an agent. If a database instance name is supplied, it will be used to check for the vulnerability against the TNS listener of the target, but this could affect future client connections, as long as the module is running.
Adobe Flash Player SharedObject Use-After-Free Exploit
Adobe Flash Player is prone to a use-after-free vulnerability when finishing a Worker thread containing a SharedObject. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable machines by convincing an unsuspecting user to visit a web site containing a specially crafted SWF file.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when handling the "PEstrarg1" member within pepco32c.ocx.
