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.

Exploit Platform
Exploit Type
Product Name
MetaServer RT Packet Processing Remote DoS
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing certain packets and can be exploited to cause a crash via a specially crafted packet sent to TCP port 2194.
The include/imageObjectIM.class.php in Coppermine Photo Gallery (CPG) (before 1.4.15), when the ImageMagick picture processing method is configured, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a shell.
The web interface for AWStats 6.4 and 6.5, when statistics updates are enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in the migrate parameter.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the WireShark openSAFETY dissector, sending a specially crafted openSAFETY packet over UDP, causing WireShark to crash.
MSRPC Server Service Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS08-067) Update 5
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows Server service by sending a specially crafted RPC request. This update adds reliability when exploiting all supported platforms.
Oracle Database Server Core RDBMS component is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to exploit a stack-based buffer overflow in the EXECUTE procedure of DBMS_AW.
Using an overly long parameter in the CDA command with the previous procedure, a stack-based buffer overflow will occur, overwriting the saved return address.
This module requires database user credentials with 'Create Session' privilege.
The Usermin Control Panel is vulnerable to command injection due to the function get_signature in usermin/mailbox/mailbox-lib.pl, which calls open() without any prior validation.
This vulnerability allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary code on the affected Usermin versions.
Yokogawa Centum CS 3000 BKHOdeq Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow in Yokogawa CENTUM CS 3000 by using its BKHOdeq.exe service.
The BKHOdeq.exe service, started when running the FCS / Test Function listens by default on TCP/20109, TCP/20171 and UDP/1240. By sending a specially crafted packet to the port TCP/20171 it is possible to trigger a stack based buffer overflow which allows execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the CENTUM user.
HP SiteScope issueSiebelCmd Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in HP SiteScope. The vulnerability exists in the APISiteScopeImpl web service, specifically in the issueSiebelCmd method, which allows the user to execute arbitrary commands without authentication.
An important vulnerability has been identified in ColdFusion version 8.0, 8.0.1, 9.0, 9.0.1 for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX. This directory traversal vulnerability could lead to information disclosure (CVE-2010-2861). Adobe has provided a solution for this reported vulnerability. It recomends that users update their product.
Microsoft Windows Web Services on Devices Memory Corruption DoS (MS09-063)
The vulnerability is caused due to a WSD message with a long header value, this can lead to memory corruption within the process hosting WSDApi.dll. This can cause the service or application to crash. To be clear, the vulnerability is in the Windows module used to interact with devices that support Web Services on Devices, and does not affect the devices themselves.
Microsoft Windows Active Directory Remote DoS (MS09-066)
This module exploits an error in the Windows Active Directory implementation by sending a specially crafted LDAP request to crash the lsass.exe process, leading to the reboot of the target machine.
Microsoft Windows Print Spooler Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS09-022)
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.
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.
A denial of service vulnerability exists in Remote Desktop Services -formerly known as Terminal Services- when an unauthenticated attacker connects to the target system using RDP and sends specially crafted requests.
This module exploits a vulnerability in PHPMyAdmin. server_databases.php fails when it attemps to sanitize the sort_by parameter. It allows an attacker to inject code, and execute it on the web server with www-data privileges.
