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.

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 vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Wecon LeviStudioU UserManage. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
Cisco Webex Meetings webexservice Update Service Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
A vulnerability in the update service of Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for Windows could allow an authenticated local attacker, to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM user privileges.
Sophos SafeGuard Enterprise Arbitrary Write SGStDrvm Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
Sophos SafeGuard Enterprise before 8.00.5, SafeGuard Easy before 7.00.3, and SafeGuard LAN Crypt before 3.95.2 are vulnerable to Local Privilege Escalation via multiple IOCTLs.
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.
Microsoft Visual Studio Masked Edit Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the msmask32.ocx ActiveX Control included in Microsoft Visual Studio 6.
This module runs a web server waiting for vulnerable clients (Internet Explorer) to connect to it. When the client connects, it will try to install an agent by exploiting this vulnerability.
Windows I2O Utility Filter Driver Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Windows I2O Utility Filter Driver when the 0x222F80 IOCTL in i2omgmt.sys is invoked with a specially crafted parameter. The IOCTL 0x222F80 handler in the i2omgmt.sys device driver in Windows I2O Utility Filter Driver allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (IRP) parameters.
Advantech WebAccess Webvrpcs Service DrawSrv Untrusted Pointer Dereference Exploit
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the 0x2723 IOCTL in the webvrpcs process. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied value prior to dereferencing it as a pointer. An attacker can leverage this functionality to execute code under the context of Administrator.
Multiple stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been identified in which the application does not verify string size before copying to memory, the attacker may then be able to crash the application or run arbitrary code.
This update adds support for the new software version and a new CVE.
Mitsubishi Electric E-Designer BEComliSlave Driver Configuration Status_bit Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within processing of a driver configuration file when initializing the BEComliSlave component. When parsing the property Status_bit, the process fails to properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the Administrator
Microsoft Windows OLE Package Manager Code Execution Exploit (MS14-064) Update
Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted OLE object, as exploited in the wild in October 2014 with a crafted PowerPoint document.
Microsoft SQL Server Distributed Management Objects Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the SQLDMO.DLL control included in the Microsoft SQL Server application. The exploit is triggered when the Start() method processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site.
This module exploits a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the OpenOffice software included in most linux distributions. The vulnerability is caused by the prtdata tag with a length parameter inconsistency, which causes vtable entries to be overwritten. The exploit is triggered when an unsuspecting user opens a specially crafted file distributed via an email.
PHPMailer is prone to a abuse the mailSend function. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to pass extra parameters to the mail command and consequently execute arbitrary code via a \" (backslash double quote) in a crafted Sender property.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the web interface of Dup Scout Enterprise caused by improper bounds checking on the login process sent to the built-in web server.
This module exploits a heap-based buffer overflow in VBE.DLL and VBE6.DLL of Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) SDK 5.0 through 6.3, via a document with a long ID parameter.
The register method in the UsersModelRegistration class in controllers/user.php in the Users component in Joomla! before 3.6.4 allows remote attackers to gain privileges by leveraging incorrect use of unfiltered data when registering on a site. This registration works even when registration has been disabled.
