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.

Microsoft Windows Win32k Privilege Escalation Exploit(MS15-010)
win32k.sys in the kernel-mode drivers in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2, 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 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted application, aka "Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability."
IBM Lotus Domino BMP parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
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. This version adds support for several Windows versions.
Linux apport Race Condition Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Linux apport application. The apport application can be forced to drop privileges to uid 0 and write a corefile anywhere on the system. This can be used to write a corefile with crafted contents in a suitable location to gain root privileges.
IBM Lotus Domino BMP parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit
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.
Schneider Electric ProClima MetaDraw ObjLinks Property Exploit
The MetaDraw ActiveX control's ObjLinks property can be assigned an attacker-supplied memory address and the control will redirect execution flow to this given memory address. This update add some Av Evasion capabilities
Microsoft Windows HTTP.sys Range Integer Overflow Memory Disclosure Exploit (MS15-034)
The code that handles the 'Range' HTTP header in the HTTP.sys driver in Microsoft Windows, which is used by Internet Information Services (IIS), is prone to an integer overflow vulnerability when processing a specially crafted HTTP request with a very long upper range. This integer overflow vulnerability can be leveraged to generate a memory disclosure condition, in which the HTTP.sys driver will return more data than it should from kernel memory, thus allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information from the affected server.
Microsoft Windows Group Policy Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit (MS15-011)
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 module exploits a vulnerability in the ClearSCADA Server service by sending a malformed packet to the 5481/TCP port to crash the application. This Update increases the MAX TRIES default value because it has not been reliable.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBackMount GetVaultDump Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
The specific flaw exists within FastBackMount.exe which listens by default on TCP port 30051. When handling opcode 0x09 packets, the process blindly copies user supplied data into a stack-based buffer within CMountDismount::GetVaultDump. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the SYSTEM user. This exploit add support for x86_64.
A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the comments rendering in Wordpress 4.1.1 and previous versions. This exploit abuses a persistent cross site scripting vulnerability in Wordpress to install an OS Agent in the server running the Wordpress installation. This update includes a module that posts a comment with the cross site scripting code as a comment in a Wordpress post. The javascript code will attempt to install a Wordpress plugin everytime the post comment is rendered. The plugin will in turn install an OS agent in the server running Wordpress.

Symantec Endpoint Protection Kernel Pool Overflow Privilege Escalation Exploit
Buffer overflow in the sysplant driver in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) Client 11.x and 12.x before 12.1 RU4 MP1b, and Small Business Edition before SEP 12.1, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to a 0x00222084 IOCTL call.
Oracle Database Server Core RDBMS component is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to exploit a stack-based buffer overflow in the EXECUTE procedure of DBMS_AW. Using an overly long parameter in the CDA command with the previous procedure, a stack-based buffer overflow will occur, overwriting the saved return address. This module requires database user credentials with 'Create Session' privilege.
The AVG Administration Server is vulnerable to arbitrary configuration settings. Due to insufficient input validation, an attacker can use the StoreServerConfig command (command id 0x27) to set the value of the ClientLibraryName parameter to a UNC path. The provided value can be a path to a network share containing a malicious .dll file. This .dll file will be executed in the context of the AVG Administration Server service which runs as SYSTEM.
