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.

Adobe Flash Player ByteArray valueOf Use-After-Free Exploit
This module exploits a Use-After-Free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. This vulnerability was found on the HackingTeam's leak on July 2015.
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.
Adobe Flash Player FLV Nellymoser Decoding Heap Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player when parsing malformed FLV objects. Attackers exploiting the vulnerability can corrupt memory and gain remote code execution.
Adobe Flash Player ByteArray write method Use-After-Free Exploit
This module exploits a Use-After-Free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player.
The specific flaw exists when the suscriber is not notified if a ByteArray assigned to the ApplicationDomain is freed from an ActionScript worker.
By forcing a reallocation by copying more contents than the original capacity to the shared buffer by using the ByteArray::writeBytes method call, the ApplicationDomain pointer is not updated leading to a use-after-free vulnerability.
Zimbra Collaboration Server skin Local File Include Exploit
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.
Adobe Flash Player Drawing Fill Shader Memory Corruption Exploit
This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. The specific flaw exists when a Shader is applied as a drawing fill allowing an attacker to take control of a vulnerable machine and execute arbitrary code.
This vulnerability was found exploited in the wild on June 2015.
Adobe Flash Player FLV Parsing Memory Corruption Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player when parsing malformed FLV objects. Attackers exploiting the vulnerability can corrupt memory and gain remote code execution.
This vulnerability has been found exploited in the wild in June 2015 in the Operation Clandestine Wolf campaign.
The specific flaw exists within LDAP handling functionality which listens by default on TCP port 389. The vulnerable code blindly copies attacker supplied data from a specially formatted LDAP ModifyRequest packet to a fixed length stack buffer.
Adobe Flash Player ShaderJob Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player.
The specific flaw exists when the "width" attribute of a ShaderJob is modified after starting the job allowing to an attacker to control the size of a destination buffer and the lenght of the copy operation.
Adobe Flash Player AS2 NetConnection Type Confusion Exploit
This module exploits a Type Confusion vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. The specific flaw exist in the ActionScript 2 NetConnection class.
When a NetConnection method is called with a parameter that is a native function object, its native data can be specified as a Number by the caller, but be interpreted as a pointer.
This allows to overwrite different objects like vectors and finally accomplish remote code execution.
Linux Overlayfs Local Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Linux. The overlayfs filesystem does not correctly check file permissions when creating new files in the upper filesystem directory. This can be exploited by an unprivileged process in kernels with CONFIG_USER_NS=y and where overlayfs has the FS_USERNS_MOUNT flag, which allows the mounting of overlayfs inside unprivileged mount namespaces.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the VMware printer virtual device from the guest OS and install an agent in the host computer.
WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released versionin 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.
QEMU Floppy Disk Controller fdctrl_handle_drive_specification_command Virtual Machine Escape Exploit (VENOM)
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.
This module causes a Denial of Service in BB Electronics Vlinx.
