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.

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.
IBM Lotus Domino IMAP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in a Lotus Domino IMAP Server and installs an agent if successful. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely and it does not require user authentication.
This update adds support for Lotus Domino for windows versions 6.5, 7.0.1, 7.0.1FP1, and 7.0.2.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Symantec Client Security 3.x and Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 10.x that allows a remote un-authenticated attacker to compromise the target system and obtain system privileges.
Oracle Application Testing Suite UploadFileAction Servlet Remote Code Execution Exploit
A vulnerability exists in the UploadFileAction servlet. By providing a fileType parameter of "*" to the UploadFileUpload page, an attacker can upload a file to an arbitrary location on the system.
This module abuses the auto deploy feature in the server in order to achieve remote code execution. Also, this module makes use of an authentication bypass vulnerability to perform the attack.
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow handling the mail headers in the OWA (Outlook Web Access) service when processing meeting requests of Exchange Server clients (MS06-019).
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in IBM Cognos Express by using an undocumented user account to upload an arbitrary .WAR file.
A remote code execution vulnerability in the UploadServlet component of Novell ZENworks Configuration Management allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management Preboot Service Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow in the Preboot Service component of Novell ZENworks Configuration Management by sending a specially crafted packet to the port 998/TCP.
MySQL with yaSSL SSL Certificate Handling Remote Stack Buffer Overflow Exploit
MySQL compiled with yaSSL is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.
Microsoft SQL Server sp_replwritetovarbin Remote Heap Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a heap-based buffer overflow in the Microsoft SQL Server by sending a specially crafted SQL query. This update adds support for executestatement() functionality within the WebApps vector.
It has two uses: One as a Remote Exploit which needs authentication, and another as an SQL Injection Agent installer module, which needs an SQL Agent as a target.
Multiple MicroWorld eScan products are vulnerable to a remote command-execution vulnerability because they fail to properly sanitize user-supplied input. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary commands with superuser privileges. Successful attacks will completely compromise affected computers. The issue affects the following products versions prior to 4.1.x: eScan for Linux Desktop, eScan for Linux File Servers, MailScan for Linux Mail servers, WebScan for Linux Proxy Servers.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Sun Java System Web Server, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable system. These issues are caused by buffer overflow errors when processing malformed "TRACE" or "OPTIONS" requests, or overly long "Authorization: Digest" headers, which could be exploited by attackers to crash an affected server or execute arbitrary code. This exploit forces the server process to throw an unhandled exception and be restarted.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the authentication process. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending an overly long, specially-crafted password to the affected server.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and installs an agent on the target machine.
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 remote buffer overflow in the SNMPc Network Manager by sending a specially crafted Trap packet with a long Community String to the UDP port 164 and installs an agent if successful.
Embedthis GoAhead before 3.6.5 and after 2.5.0 allows remote code execution if CGI is enabled and a CGI program is dynamically linked. This is a result of initializing the environment of forked CGI scripts using untrusted HTTP request parameters in the cgiHandler function in cgi.c. When combined with the glibc dynamic linker, this behaviour can be abused for remote code execution using special parameter names such as LD_PRELOAD. An attacker can POST their shared object payload in the body of the request, and reference it using /proc/self/fd/0.
