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.

The specific flaw exists within the parsing of CSP files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a buffer.
This module exploits a vulnerability in ZoneAlarm products when the 0x8400000F function is invoked with a specially crafted parameter. The IOCTL 0x8400000F handler in the VSDATANT.SYS device driver in ZoneAlarm products allows local users to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code via malformed Interrupt Request Packet (Irp) parameters to obtain escalated privileges.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Ghostscript software included in most Linux distributions. The vulnerability is caused by a buffer overflow in the ICC parser at the zseticcspace function in zicc.c in Ghostscript 8.61 and earlier. The exploit is triggered when an unsuspecting user opens a specially crafted file distributed via an email.
Mac OS X pppd Plugin Loading Privilege Escalation Exploit
The PPP daemon (pppd) in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8 checks ownership of the stdin file descriptor to determine if the invoker has sufficient privileges, which allows local users to load arbitrary plugins and gain root privileges by bypassing this check.
Acoustica Mixcraft is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability in the handling of .MX4 project files, because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data, before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the CTSUEng.ocx control included in the Creative Software AutoUpdate application. The exploit is triggered when the CacheFolder property processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the Sourcefire Snort DCE/RPC preprocessor. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Snort process.
This update adds support for Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 and FreeBSD 6.2 on Impact 7.5
VirIT eXplorer Anti-Virus Arbitrary Write Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
In VirIT eXplorer Anti-Virus, the VIAGLT64.SYS driver file contains an Arbitrary Write vulnerability, and can be exploited to elevate privileges from a local account to SYSTEM.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the 0x13C80 IOCTL in the BwOpcTool subsystem in VdBroadWinGetLocalDataLogEx. When parsing the NamedObject structure, the process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length buffer.
Adobe PDF JavaScript Buffer Overflow Exploit Update 2
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Professional .PDF files. The vulnerability is caused due to boundary error in collectEmailInfo() method in EScript.api. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted PDF file is opened.
This update adds support for Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista SP1.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the PWButtonXControl1.ocx control included in the Anzio Web Print Object application. The exploit is triggered when the mainuri property processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site.
The windows Message Queuing Service is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the rpc interface that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code.

RealPlayer ActiveX Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability caused due to a boundary error in the ierpplug.dll of the Real Player application. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site.
This module exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability in OrientDB by abusing SQL queries on OUser/ORole without the privileges which allows users to get Code Execution.
