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
Microsoft Internet Explorer HTML Object Memory Corruption Exploit (MS10-002)
This module exploits a use-after-free vulnerability in the MSHTML component in Internet Explorer. The specific error ocurrs due to the way Internet Explorer handles objects in memory. It is possible to use a pointer in CTableRowCellsCollectionCacheItem::GetNext after it gets freed and get remote code execution. This vulnerability was one of the 2012's Pwn2Own challenges.
CyberLink Power2Go P2G Name Attribute Buffer Overflow Exploit
A stack-based buffer overflow in CyberLink Power2Go allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via an overly long name attribute in a .P2G file.
Windows
Exploits/Client Side
Impact
Microsoft Windows OLE Property Code Execution Exploit (MS11-093)
Microsoft Windows does not properly handle OLE objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted object within a file.
Microsoft Internet Explorer XML Core Services MSXML Uninitialized Memory Exploit
Microsoft XML Core Services 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0, as used by Internet Explorer, accesses uninitialized memory locations, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by enticing an unsuspecting user to visit a specially crafted web site.
GE Proficy CIMPLICITY gefebt Remote Code Execution
The vulnerable component gefebt allows to execute remote BCL files in shared resources. An attacker can abuse this behaviour to execute a malicious BCL and drop an arbitrary EXE .This can be executed remotely through the WebView server.
Adobe Flash Player copyPixelsToByteArray Heap Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a heap-based buffer overflow in Adobe Flash Player. The bug is triggered by calling BitmapData.copyPixelsToByteArray() with a reference to a ByteArray that has its position property set very large, close to 2^32. This results in an integer overflow in 32-bit arithmetic and allows an attacker to take control of the target machine.
Microsoft Windows Telnet Server ProcessDataReceivedOnSocket DoS (MS15-002)
A stack-based buffer overflow in the ProcessDataReceivedOnSocket function in the Microsoft Telnet Server Helper (tlntsess.exe) can be used by remote unauthenticated attackers to render the Telnet server unresponsive. 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 update includes a module exploiting a vulnerability found in Bash. When using PureFTPd in conjuntion with the vulnerable Bash version for user authentication, a Core Impact agent is installed.
Apple Mac OS X HFS Plus Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
XNU 1228.9.59 and earlier on Apple Mac OS X 10.5.6 and earlier does not properly restrict interaction between user space and the HFS IOCTL handler. This allows local users to overwrite kernel memory and gain privileges by attaching an HFS+ disk image and performing certain steps involving HFS_GET_BOOT_INFO fcntl calls.
Symantec Intel Alert Originator Service Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Intel Alert Originator service by sending a specially crafted packet to the 38292/TCP port.
Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash Player Code Execution Exploit
Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Flash Player are prone to a remote code-execution by supplying a malicious Flash (.SWF) file or by embedding a malicious Flash application in a .PDF 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 module triggers a remote denial of service condition on Microsoft Windows (BSoD) by sending a specially crafted sequence of HTTP requests. 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 buffer overflow vulnerability in Lotus Notes when parsing a malformed, specially crafted LZH file received as an email attachment.
HP Data Protector Client EXEC_SETUP Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a design flaw in HP Data Protector by sending a specially crafted EXEC_SETUP request. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the EXEC_SETUP command. This command instructs a Data Protector client to download and execute a setup file. A malicious attacker can instruct the client to access a file off of a share thus executing arbitrary code under the context of the current user.
