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.

Impact
ElbyCDIO IO Driver Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in ElbyCDIO.SYS driver when handling a specially crafted IOCTL request. The vulnerability allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters.
VUPlayer contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling .CUE files.
Easy Chat Server Authentication Request Buffer Overflow Exploit
A remote user of vulnerable installations of Easy Chat Server can send a specially crafted password parameter to chat.ghp to trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Microsoft Outlook Moniker Link UNC Path Information Disclosure Exploit
This exploit leverages an information disclosure vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook. By using a crafted path, unauthorized access can be obtained, allowing for the theft of NTLM hashes.
Apache RocketMQ versions 5.1.0 and below are vulnerable to arbitrary code injection. Broker component of RocketMQ is leaked on the extranet and lack permission verification. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by using the update configuration function to execute commands as the system users that RocketMQ is running as.
A buffer overflow in libtelnet/encrypt.c in Inetutils and Heimdal implementations of telnetd allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with root permissions via a long encryption key.
This update adds support for Debian and newer FreeBSD platforms.
Microsoft Office PowerPoint PPT 7 Memory Corruption Exploit (MS09-017)
This module exploits a stack overflow on "pp7x32.dll" when it parses an inconsistent record length in sound data in a file that uses a PowerPoint 95 (PPT95) native file format.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the mDNSResponder service running on certain versions of Apple Mac OS X. The vulnerability is exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted UPnP Internet Gateway Device (IGD) packet and installing an agent.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the 'detection and registration of new hardware' function of the Windows Shell; the vulnerability is exposed by a parameter that is not properly validated. The exploit allows a local user to escalate their privileges on a compromised Windows XP or Windows 2003 system.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the Microsoft Internet Explorer via a Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long fill parameter within a rect tag in a Vector Markup Language (VML) file. This update adds support for Windows XP and Windows 2003.
Jenkins is prone to a remote vulnerability due to deserialization of untrusted inputs, allowing attackers to instantiate arbitrary Java objects leading to remote code execution.
There are several API endpoints that allow low-privilege users to POST XML files that then get deserialized by Jenkins. Maliciously crafted XML files sent to these API endpoints could result in arbitrary code execution.
This update adds support for HTTPS and IPv6. It also allows to change the application root path.
MediaCoder contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in MediaCoder when handling .M3U files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .M3U file.
This update support the last version of the program.
Linux Kernel udp_sendmsg Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the udp_sendmsg function in the UDP implementation in net/ipv4/udp.c and net/ipv6/udp.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 allowing local users to gain privileges via vectors involving the MSG_MORE flag and a UDP socket.
Real Player MS HelpCenter Command Execution Exploit (MS10-042)
This module exploits a vulnerability caused due to an error in the MPC::HTML::UrlUnescapeW() function in helpctr.exe when escaping URLs, add direct exploitation from Real Player to the original Internet Explorer attack vector.
There is a possible reflected Cross-Site Scripting attack. An attacker able to cause a user to follow a specially crafted malicious link may be able to recover session identifiers or exploit browser vulnerabilities. The template parameter is vulnerable.
