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.

ABB Test Signal Viewer ActiveX Control Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them.
Microsoft Internet Explorer MSHTML CMarkup Use-After-Free Exploit
Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving crafted JavaScript code.
HP Data Protector Cell Manager Opcode 263 Buffer Overflow Exploit
The specific flaw exists within crs.exe which listens by default on a random TCP port. When parsing opcodes 214, 215, 216, 219, 257, and 263, the process blindly copies user supplied data into a fixed-length stack buffer.
Linux Kernel CONFIG_X86_X32 Privilege Escalation Exploit
This module exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Linux Kernel. The X86_X32 recvmmsg syscall does not properly sanitize the timeout pointer passed from userspace and allows a local attacker to escalate privileges.
Panda Security for Business Pagent MESSAGE_FROM_REMOTE Path Traversal Exploit
The Pagent service component of Panda Security for Business is prone to a path traversal vulnerability when handling MESSAGE_FROM_REMOTE packets. This vulnerability can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to drop arbitrary files in the vulnerable machine in order to gain remote code execution with SYSTEM privileges.

Novell iPrint Client IPP Response URI Handling Buffer Overflow Exploit
A buffer overflow vulnerability within the handling of functions that take a URI as a parameter allows arbitrary command execution when a user loads a specially crafted web page.
Watermark Master is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability when handling WCF files. This vulnerability could be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target machine by enticing users to open a specially crafted WCF file.

EATON VURemote 0-Day DoS
This module causes a Denial of Service in EATON VURemote.
The mongo::mongoFind method in MongoDB makes use of uninitialized memory. A remote attacker can fill that memory address with controlled data and then call the vulnerable function in order to execute arbitrary code on the affected server. This update adds the CVE number.
This module exploits a Use-After-Free vulnerability in Adobe Reader when handling a specially crafted PDF file. 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 Javascript obfuscation to the PDF document and fixes some documentation issues.
The mongo::mongoFind method in MongoDB makes use of uninitialized memory. A remote attacker can fill that memory address with controlled data and then call the vulnerable function in order to execute arbitrary code on the affected server.
A Buffer Overflow exist in Vortex Light Alloy when parsing .M3U files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Vortex Light Alloy when handling .M3U files beginning with "http://", when the application tries to obtain a stream from an url. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .M3U file.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Integer Overflow DoS (MS13-101) Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in win32k.sys by calling to "NtGdiGetTextExtent" function with crafted parameters. This update adds support to Windows 2003 (32 and 64 bits), Windows Vista (32 and 64 bits), Windows 2008 (32 and 64 bits), Windows 7 64 bits, Windows 2008 R2, Windows 8 ( 32 and 64 bits) and Windows 2012.
Microsoft Internet Explorer CCaret Use-After-Free Exploit (MS13-069)
Use after free in Internet Explorer when handling the caret (text cursor) object. Successful control of the freed memory may leverage arbitrary code execution under the context of the user.
PDFCool Studio Suite is prone to a security vulnerability when processing PDF files. This vulnerability could be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target machine by enticing users to open a specially crafted PDF file.
