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
Blackmoon FTP Server PORT DoS
This module shuts down the Blackmoon FTP Server because it fails to properly handle user-supplied malformed packets.
Microsoft Office Excel RTD Data Record Processing Stack Overwrite Exploit (MS11-021) Update 2
The flaw exists within the methods used for RealTimeData Record Parsing. When handling a stTopic field that has a bit set specifying double byte characters in the following field the value of a global pointer is improperly calculated. This version adds Windows 7 support and updates the CVE number.
Oracle Java Web Start XXaltjvm Option Command Line Injection Exploit
Argument injection vulnerability in the URI handler in Java Deployment Toolkit allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the -J argument to javaws.exe, which is processed by the launch method.
HP Intelligent Management Center UAM sprintf Buffer Overflow Exploit
A stack buffer overflow exists in HP Intelligent Management Center's uam.exe service which listens on port UDP/1811. The vulnerability is due to lack of validation of a string passed to sprintf.

Impact
GSM SIM Utility SEH Buffer Overflow Exploit
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.
Multiple integer overflows in Microsoft ASN.1 library (MSASN1.DLL), as used in LSASS.EXE, CRYPT32.DLL, and other Microsoft executables and libraries on Windows NT 4.0, 2000, and XP, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via ASN.1 encodings that cause arbitrary heap data to be overwritten. This update modifies the runtime value for this exploit.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Keyboard Layout Vulnerability Exploit (MS12-047) Update
This update adds support to Impact 12.5 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.
IBM SPSS SamplePower Vsflex8l ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Exploit
Buffer overflow when a special malformed string is assigned to the ComboList or ColComboList property. The code looks for a '#'in the string then copies into a global buffer in the data section with a static size of 0x64.
Microsoft Internet Explorer SLayoutRun Use-After-Free Exploit (MS13-009)
Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer where a CParaElement node is released but a reference is still kept in CDoc. This memory is reused when a CDoc relayout is performed.
Microsoft Internet Explorer CButton Object Use After Free Exploit Update
Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a use after free vulnerability caused by an object that was not properly allocated or is deleted. This update adds support for additional target platforms.
An AccessControlContext attribute in the java.beans.Statement class of Oracle Java can be overwritten by unprivileged applets by using specially crafted Java Beans Expressions and Statements, even when the AccessControlContext attribute is declared as final. This flaw allows an unprivileged Java applet to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of the current user. WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module.
Simple Web Server GET Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Simple Web Server when processing HTTP GET Request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to the affected command.

VMware VMCI Privilege Escalation Exploit
When the "vmci.sys" driver processes a crafted call from user an array index out of bound is exploited
Microsoft Windows Ancillary Function Driver Double Free Vulnerability Exploit (MS14-040) Update
This module exploits a double-free vulnerability in "afd.sys" by calling to "AfdTransmiteFile" function with crafted parameters. This module adds support to Microsoft Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 2008 and Windows 8.1
This module exploits a remote vulnerability that could allow an attacker to send a specially crafted SMB message to an affected system causing a denial of service (MS06-035). 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 sends HTTP requests with specially crafted data making the PHP interpreter to consume lot of resources. This attack prevents the victim server from processing requests from legitimate clients and probably will make the server non-operational. This is update fixes an issue when launching the module from an agent running in a linux system.
The flaw exists within the nipplib.dll component. When handling the exposed method GetDriverSettings the application assembles a string for logging consisting of the hostname/port provided as a parameter. When building this message the process will blindly copy user supplied data into a fixed-length buffer on the stack.
A security vulnerability was found in the VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) subsystem, allowing an unauthenticated remote DoS. The vulnerability could allow denial of service if a specially crafted request is sent to the vSphere API by an unauthenticated user.
Oracle Outside In XPM Image Processing Buffer Overflow Exploit
A Buffer Overflow exists in the Oracle Outside SDK when the XPM image processing method does not properly validate the length of chars_per_pixel string within XPM images. This suite is used for 3rd party applications like Quick View Plus.
