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.

HP Storage Data Protector MSG_PROTOCOL Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the OmniInet.exe service included in the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector application by sending a malformed MSG_PROTOCOL packet.
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.
Magento eCommerce Web Sites Remote Code Execution Exploit
Magento eCommerce Web Sites suffers from a Authentication Bypass Vulnerability, a Blind SQL Injection Vulnerability and a Remote File Inclusion Vulnerability.
These 3 vulnerabilities, allows an attacker to gain arbitrary code execution on the affected system.

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.
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.
Microsoft Windows OLE Package Manager Code Execution Exploit (MS14-064)
Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted OLE object, as exploited in the wild in October 2014 with a crafted PowerPoint document.
Solarwinds FSM is vulnerable to an authentication bypass in userlogin.jsp that allows attacker to upload an agent via a weekness in the username atribute in settings-new.jsp allowing us to install an agent.
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.
The specific flaw exists within the 'factory' object's loadExtensionFactory method. The issue lies in a failure to validate the size of an attacker-supplied input before copying it into a fixed-size buffer on the stack. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
Microsoft Windows Group Policy Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit (MS15-011) Update
This module exploits, via a "Man In The Middle" attack, a security flaw in the Domain Controller policies downloaded by clients during the logging process
This update adds support to Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 R2 and improves the network stability.
The fdctrl_handle_drive_specification_command() function in the code that emulates the Floppy Disk Controller in QEMU does not properly reset the index within a buffer when processing user-controlled data, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow in the QEMU process that runs on the Host system.
An attacker running code within a Guest operating system can exploit this vulnerability in order to escape from the QEMU virtual machine and execute arbitrary code on the Host operating system.
Microsoft Windows Win32k ClientCopyImage Privilege Escalation Exploit(MS15-051)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Win32k.sys kernel-mode driver improperly handles objects in memory. The vulnerability exists in the Windows OS process of creating windows for applications. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode.
IBM Lotus Domino BMP parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit Update 2
IBM Domino is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking when parsing BMP images. By sending a specially-crafted bitmap image, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or make the application crash.
Microsoft Windows OpenType Font Driver Vulnerability Exploit (MS15-078)
This module exploits a vulnerability in "atmfd.dll" Windows driver by loading a crafted OTF font.

Adobe Flash Player AS3 ConvolutionFilter Use-After-Free Exploit
This module exploits a Use-After-Free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. The specific flaw exists within the processing of AS3 ConvolutionFilter objects. By manipulating the matrix property of a ConvolutionFilter object, an attacker can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
This vulnerability was one of the 2015's Pwn2Own challenges.
