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.

Linux Kernel Ext4 Move Extents IOCTL Privilege Escalation Exploit
Linux kernel is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability because the software fails to verify access permissions. A local user can invoke the Ext4 'move extents' ioctl call, with certain options to execute arbitrary code and gain privileged access. Successful exploits will result in the complete compromise of affected computers.
Chuggnutt HTML to Text Converter Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a Chuggnutt HTML to Text Converter preg_replace using eval switch in multiple web applications in order to install an agent. Currently, this module supports AtMail Open and RoundCube Webmail.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the included web server when processing HTTP requests. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long GET request.
Free MP3 CD Ripper contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Free MP3 CD Ripper when handling .WAV files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .WAV file.

CA XOsoft Control Service entry_point.aspx Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a remote buffer overflow vulnerability in the entry_point.aspx login page of CA XOsoft Control Service.
Microsoft Visio visiodwg.dll Buffer Overflow Exploit (MS10-028)
Microsoft Visio is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. This issue arises when the application processes a crafted CAD DRAWING file (.DXF). 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.
phpMyAdmin is vulnerable to a remote code execution due the use of the unserialize method on user supplied data. This data is written in the config file and is accessible from the internet by default.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the AeXNSConsoleUtilities.dll control included in the Symantec ConsoleUtilities application. The vulnerability is triggered when the RunCmd method processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
MSRPC LlsrLicenseRequestW Remote Heap Overflow DoS (MS09-064)
This module triggers a Denial Of Service condition in the Microsoft Windows License Logging Service by sending a specially crafted RPC request. WARNING: This is an early release module.
A remote buffer-overflow vulnerability affects Savant Web Server. This issue occurs because the application fails to validate the length of user-supplied strings before copying them into finite process buffers.
Adobe PDF Newplayer JavaScript Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Professional .PDF files. The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors in newplayer() method in multimedia.api. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow when a specially crafted .PDF file is opened. 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 Update adds support for Windows XP SP3 and Vista.
This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the handling of Error Packet for overwrite all the .bss section and some portion of the .idata section. This module add the service specification tag.
osCommerce Online Merchant 2.2 RC2a is vulnerable to an Arbitrary File Upload without the need to be authenticated. This leads to arbitrary PHP code execution in the context of the webserver. This module tries to install a RFI agent if the Web Application is vulnerable. It will fail if the webserver is not allowed to write on the document root of the vulnerable web application.
Destiny Media Player Playlist Buffer Overflow Exploit
Destiny Media Player contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Destiny Media Player when handling .LST files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .LST file.

Oracle Secure Backup Command Injection Exploit
This module exploits a command injection error in the Oracle Secure Backup Administration server.
GlobalSCAPE Secure FTP Server Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on installations with GlobalSCAPE Secure FTP Server,which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error with the handling of overly long commands. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted command passed to the affected server.
Microsoft Works wkimgsrv.dll Memory Corruption Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in the wkimgsrv.dll control shipped with Microsoft Works and many Microsoft Office Suites. The exploit is triggered when the WksPictureInterface() method processes a number as argument resulting in a memory corruption. The WksPictureInterface(), in certain circumstances, points to an invalid memory address that can be controlled to gain code execution.
