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
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.
This update resolves an issue in cslib and One Link Multiple Clientsides Exploit
Exploits / Client Side
Impact Professional
Win2k agent improvements
This update improves the functionality of the impact agent running in windows 2000.

Impact Professional
Apple QuickTime H264 Movie Files Buffer Overflow Exploit
The vulnerability exists within the way Quicktime parse h264 movies. The application will use a length that is defined within the structure to copy data into a statically sized buffer on the stack.
Adobe Reader X AdobeCollabSync Buffer Overflow Sandbox Bypass Exploit Update
This module allows an agent running in the context of AcroRd32.exe with Low Integrity Level/AppContainer Integrity Level to escalate privileges in order to install a new agent that will run with Medium Integrity Level.
This update fixes an issue related to highlight preconditions when running against x86-64 targets.
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.
FortiClient Weak IOCTL mdare Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
FortiClient is prone to a privilege-escalation vulnerability that affects mdare64_48.sys, mdare32_48.sys, mdare32_52.sys, mdare64_52.sys and Fortishield.sys drivers.
All these drivers expose an API to manage processes and the windows registry, for instance, the IOCTL 0x2220c8 of the mdareXX_XX.sys driver returns a full privileged handle to a given process PID. In particular, this same function is replicated inside Fortishield.sys.
Attackers can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges in the context of any selected process.
Zimbra Collaboration Server skin Local File Include Exploit Update
Zimbra is vulnerable to a Local File Inclusion vulnerability that allows attacker to get LDAP credentials which we may use for upload a JSP file allowing us to install an agent.
This update workarounds a problem when proxying and using HTTPSConnection.
VMware vCenter Server Java JMX-RMI Remote Code Execution Exploit
VMware vCenter Server is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to take advantage of an insecure deployment of the JMX/RMI service used to manage and monitor the Java Virtual Machine.
By exploiting known methods, it is possible to remotely load an MLet file from an attacker controlled web server that points at a, also controlled, jar file.
This module exploits a missing verification of the path in the command "sudoedit", provided by the sudo package. This can be exploited to execute any command as root including a shell, allowing an unprivileged process to elevate its privileges to root.
This update adds OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) as supported target.
Windows Animated Cursor Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Windows handles cursor, animated cursor, and icon formats. An attacker could try to exploit the vulnerability by constructing a malicious cursor or icon file that could potentially allow remote code execution if a user visited a malicious Web site or viewed a specially crafted e-mail message (MS07-017). This update adds support for default installs of Windows XP from sp0 to sp2, Windows Vista and Windows 2003 from sp0 to sp2.
The specific flaw exists within the edit_lf_process resource of the AccuRev Reprise License Manager service. The issue lies in the ability to write arbitrary files with controlled data. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of SYSTEM.
This update introduces a number of improvements related to the architecture
of the agent installed and scenarios where multiple targets are tested.
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.
This update adds proper CVE number, support for Jenkins with HTTPS enabled, and DNS channel support. It also extends on the supported platforms, improves IPv6 functionality and removes redundant code.
Schneider Electric OFS Client Buffer Overflow Exploit
When a crafted configuration file is parsed by the client, it may cause a buffer overflow allowing the configuration file execute code on the target PC.
