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 Visio visiodwg.dll Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS10-028) Update
Microsoft Visio is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. This issue arises when the application processes a crafted CAD DRAWING file (.DXF). This update adds support for Windows 7.
Microsoft Windows ICMPv6 Router Advertisement Remote DoS (MS10-009)
This module exploits a memory corruption in the Microsoft Windows TCP/IP implementation by sending a sequence of IPv6 packets with a specially crafted Router Advertisement ICMP packet. 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.

Adobe Reader Import Tiff Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Reader products when a malformed .TIFF file is parsed. 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 vulnerability in the ienipp.ocx control included in the Novell iPrint Client application. The exploit is triggered when the Target Frame parameter processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing certain sections of .SPD (policy) files. Passing an overly long string to either "TREENAME" or "GROUPNAME"
Cerberus FTP Server is prone to a denial-of-service. The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the processing of overly long arguments passed via FTP commands.
This module exploits a stack overflow in library DCCFAXVW.DLL of Symantec WinFax Pro. When passing an overly long string to the AppendFax() method, arbitrary code may be executed.
Multiple ACDSee products are prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because they fail to perform adequate boundary checks when processing a malformed TIFF image. This update adds support for older ACDSee versions.

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 vulnerability in PHPMyAdmin. server_databases.php fails when it attemps to sanitize the sort_by parameter. It allows an attacker to inject code, and execute it on the web server with www-data privileges.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability during the processing of TFTP Read/Write request packet types and cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet with an overly long mode field.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.1.0 and earlier on systems with Internet Explorer 7 installed. This update adds support for WEB SERVER.
