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.

7T Interactive Graphical SCADA System IGSSdataServer Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow in IGSSdataServer by sending a malformed packet to the 12401/TCP port.
Microsoft Windows Media Player DVR-MS Memory Corruption Exploit (MS11-015)
This module exploits a memory corruption in Windows Media Player when parsing a malformed DVR-MS 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.
HP OpenView NNM ovas Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the ovas service, part of the HP OpenView Network Node Manager application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted POST request with a malformed Destination Node variable to the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful.
The ExceptionDelegator component of the XWork framework, part of the Apache Struts 2 web framework, as shipped with Atlassian FishEye, interprets parameters values as OGNL expressions when handling a type conversion error.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server by tricking a logged-in user with administrator privileges within the FishEye site to visit a specially crafted web page.
The PAM MOTD module in Ubuntu does not correctly handle path permissions when creating user file stamps. A local attacker can exploit this to gain root privileges.
This update improves the reliability of the exploit.
SlimFTPd LIST Command Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
SlimFTPd server is prone to a stack buffer overflow when sending a LIST command with an overly-long argument. The attacker needs to be authenticated, so a successful login is required for the exploit to work.
Novell File Reporter NFRAgent VOL Tag Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability exists within NFRAgent.exe listening on TCP port 3037. When parsing tags inside the VOL element, the process performs insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data prior to copying it on the stack.
Internet Explorer Same ID Property Remote Code Execution Exploit
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 does not properly handle objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by accessing a deleted object.
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.
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.
Linux Kernel perf_swevent_init Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Linux kernel. The perf_swevent_init function in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.9 uses an incorrect integer data type, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted perf_event_open system call.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Keyboard Layout Vulnerability Exploit (MS12-034) Update 2
This update adds support to Microsoft Windows 2008.
This module exploits a Windows kernel vulnerability by loading a fake keyboard layout through a call to "NtUserLoadKeyboardLayoutEx" function with crafted parameters.
When the keyboard layout is processed by win32k.sys, it produces a kernel heap memory corruption.
A vulnerability in the File Manager (wp-file-manager) plugin for WordPress, version 6.0 to 6.8, allows to unauthenticated remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code because.
The root cause is an unsafe renaming of a example elFinder connector file with the php extension.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows attackers to write php files to the wp-content/plugins/wp-file-manager/lib/files/ directory of Wordpress.

Impact
SAP Netweaver Message Server _MsJ2EE_AddStatistics Memory Corruption Exploit
The Message Server component of SAP Netweaver is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability when the _MsJ2EE_AddStatistics function handles a specially crafted request with iflag value 0x0c MS_J2EE_SEND_TO_CLUSTERID, or 0x0d MS_J2EE_SEND_BROADCAST.
This vulnerability can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server.
ERDAS ER Viewer ERM_convert_to_correct_webpath Buffer Overflow Exploit
A Buffer Overflow exists within ERDAS ER Viewer due to a boundary error within the ERM_convert_to_correct_webpath() function in (ermapper_u.dll) when parsing file paths via a specially crafted ERS file.
WebHMI 4.0.7348 suffers from persistent cross site scripting vulnerability. It is located on the page for creating a new connection. An attacker with administrator rights can create a new connection and specify an xss injection in the name field. XSS injection will be triggered on the 'host/setup/registers/list.php' page
This modules exploits a vulnerability found in the Honewell HSC Remote Deployer ActiveX. This control can be abused by using the LaunchInstaller() function to execute an arbitrary HTA from a remote location.
