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.

AlienVault Unified Security Management av-forward Deserialization of Untrusted Data Exploit
This update introduces an exploit for AlienVault Unified Security Management. A vulnerability exists in the av-forward daemon running in AlienVault Unified Security Management appliances. The daemon accepts serialized Python and proceeds to deserialize it without proper validation, allowing unauthenticated arbitrary code execution.
MS SMB 2.0 Negociate Protocol Request Remote BSOD Exploit Update
This update improves the exploit reliability.
This module exploits a vulnerability on srv2.sys via a SMB 2 malformed packet.
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 buffer overflow in Client Service for NetWare (CSNW) in Microsoft Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted messages.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in Client Service for NetWare (CSNW) in Microsoft Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted messages.
Advantech WebAccess webvrpcs Service DrawSrv TagGroup Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the 0x280A IOCTL in the DrawSrv subsystem. A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in a call to strcpy. An attacker can use this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of an administrator of the system.
Microsoft Windows SMB Pool Overflow DoS (MS10-054)
This module exploits a Windows kernel remote vulnerability on the srv.sys driver via a malformed SMB packet.
It could allow an attacker to connect to a shared folder and send a specially crafted SMB message to an affected system exploiting the target and installing an agent.
Microsoft Windows Print Spooler Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS09-022) Update
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the EnumeratePrintShares function in the Print Spooler Service in Microsoft Windows to install an agent in the target machine.
This update adds TCP Spoofing Listener capabilities.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Oracle Database Server. The vulnerability is triggered when the server processes a long string inside the AUTH_SESSKEY property resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
This update adds support for Windows 2003 SP2 and Oracle 10.2.0.4.
Net Transport eDonkey Protocol Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of eDonkey "OP_LOGINREQUEST" packets. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet to the ed2k port of an affected system.
ISC BIND Dynamic Update Message DoS Exploit Update
A vulnerability has been identified in ISC BIND, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service. This issue is caused due to the "dns_db_findrdataset()" function failing when the prerequisite section of a dynamic update message contains a record of type "ANY" and where at least one RRset for this FQDN exists on the server, which could allow attackers to cause a vulnerable server to exit when receiving a specially crafted dynamic update message sent to a zone for which the server is the master.
Microsoft Windows TCPIP SACK Remote DoS (MS10-009)
This module exploits a memory corruption in the Microsoft Windows TCP/IP implementation by sending a sequence of TCP/IP packets with a specially crafted Selective Acknowledgement (SACK) values.
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.
HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the OmniInet.exe service included in the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector application by sending a malformed MSG_PROTOCOL packet. This update adds support for HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 6.0 and for Windows XP and Vista.
AT TFTP Server Long Filename Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error during the processing of TFTP Read/Write request packet types. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet with an overly long filename field.
Microsoft Windows DHCP Server Heap Overflow Vulnerability DoS
A Heap Overflow vulnerability exists in the Windows Server DHCP service when an attacker sends specially crafted packets to a DHCP server. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code on the DHCP server.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the 0x138bd IOCTL in the webvrpcs process. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this functionality to execute code under the context of Administrator.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in SurgeMail Mail Server and installs an agent into the target host. A buffer overflow vulnerability is located in the function which handles the real CGI executables. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to this module.
