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.

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.
GSM SIM Utility contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in GSM SIM Editor when handling misleading .sms files. When opening such files an error message is shown and then a buffer overflow occurs. This situation allows an attacker to overwrite an SEH Pointer and control the execution flow.

UPnP Vulnerability Checker
This module checks for vulnerabilities in UPnP-enabled systems. It sends a SSDP "M-SEARCH" packet to the multicast group (239.255.255.250) and checks for known banners corresponding to vulnerable UPnP SDK versions.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Read AV Vulnerability (MS13-053) Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in win32k.sys when the EPATHOBJ::pprFlattenRec() doesn't initialize the pointer to the next memory chunk. This update adds support to Windows 2003 64 bits, Windows Vista 64 bits, Windows 2008 64 bits, Windows 2008 R2, Windows 7 64 bits, Windows 8 64 bits and Windows 2012 64 bits.
The vulnerability is due to an error while parsing Parts field in ABC files which can result in an integer overflow in the libmodplug library used by VLC Media Player.

Elecard MPEG Player SEH Buffer Overflow Exploit
Elecard MPEG Player contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Elecard MPEG Player when handling .m3u files, situation that leads to a buffer overflow and the possibility to overwrite an SEH Pointer. This can be exploited via a specially crafted .m3u file.
The DefaultActionMapper class in Apache Struts2 supports a method for short-circuit navigation state changes by prefixing parameters with "action:" or "redirect:". The information contained in these prefixes is not properly sanitized before being evaluated as OGNL expressions on the server side, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Java code on the server. This module exploits the vulnerability in any web application built on top of vulnerable versions of the Apache Struts 2 framework.
The Import Server component of Oracle WebCenter Capture is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability. This could allow command execution when a user loads a web page which calls the SetAnnotationFont method of the BlackIceDevMode.ocx ActiveX control with a overly long string argument.
HP LoadRunner lrFileIOService ActiveX Control WriteFileBinary Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the lrFileIOService ActiveX control. The control exposes the WriteFileBinary method which accepts a parameter named data that it uses as a valid pointer. By specifying invalid values an attacker can force the application to jump to a controlled location in memory. This can be exploited to execute remote code under the context of the user running the web browser.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Oracle Java. Abusing the insecure invoke() method of the ProviderSkeleton class that allows to call arbitrary static methods with user supplied arguments it is possible to execute arbitrary code.
A Buffer Overflow exist in Core Player when parsing .M3U files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .M3U file.
Oracle WebCenter Content is prone to a Remote File Execution vulnerability within the CheckOutAndOpen.dll ActiveX when using openWebdav method. By specifying a constructed path an attacker can force the contents of the file to be passed to ShellExecuteExW, thus being able to execute arbitrary files. The payload is embedded on a VBS file which is automatically executed when a HTA file is requested through Webdav.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within flt_BMP.dll when processing BMP images and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via specially crafted "biPlanes" and "biBitCount" fields.
ABBS Audio Media Player contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in ABBS when handling .lst files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .lst file.
This module exploits a vulnerability found in GroundWork 6.7.0. This software is used for network, application and cloud monitoring. The vulnerability exists in the monarch_scan.cgi, where user controlled input is used in the perl qx function, which allows any remote authenticated attacker, whatever his privileges are, to inject system commands and gain arbitrary code execution.
ssl/s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8i allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a DTLS ChangeCipherSpec packet that occurs before ClientHello.
