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.

Impact Professional
Windows .ANI file parsing Exploit Update
An integer overflow in the LoadImage API of the USER32 Lib for Microsoft Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .BMP, .CUR, .ICO or .ANI file with a large image size field.
You can force vulnerable clients to connect to the web server automatically by using this module to send them a specially designed e-mail to exploit this vulnerability by open it with Outlook or Outlook Express.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in GDI in Microsoft Windows, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted EMF image file.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the Workstation Service. This package addresses a compatibility problem when porting the module from version 7.0 to 7.5 of the framework.
Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Exploit (MS08-016)
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Office (.PPT files). The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in mso.dll within the processing of PPT files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened.
Microsoft Works File Parsing WPS Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Office (.WPS files). The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors within the processing of WPS files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened.
This update adds Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 as Supported Systems and fixes a small bug in the function that generate the files.
MSRPC Trend Micro Server Protect AddTaskExportLogItem() Exploit
TrendMicro ServerProtect 5.58 with security patch 3 installed is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the rpc interface that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code.
This module exploits a client-side command execution vulnerability in the ActiveX control of the FaceBook Image Uploader. The module will run a malicious website in the CORE IMPACT console and wait for a user to connect and trigger the exploit.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Symantec BackupExec Calendar Control (PVCalendar.ocx). When the _DOWText0 property processes a long string argument, a stack based buffer overflow occurs allowing execution of arbitrary code.
Microsoft Jet Database Engine Buffer Overflow Exploit
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Jet Database (msjet40.dll) trough a Microsoft Word Document. The vulnerability is caused due to boundary error in msjet40.dll within the processing of mdb files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted file is opened.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within Trend Micro OfficeScan Corporate Edition when processing passwords with cgiChkMasterPwd.exe vulnerable module. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to this module.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the Microsoft Windows Plug and Play service and installs an agent (MS05-039). This update fixes a problem when launching the exploit with the PROTO parameter set to 139/SMB or 445/SMB (instead of the default value ANY).
Novell Client for Netware is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability on the nwspool.dll that could permit the execution of arbitrary remote code. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the computer. This module exploits this vulnerability and installs an agent.
This module exploits a buffer overflow in SurgeMail Mail Server and installs an agent into the target host. A buffer overflow vulnerability is located in the function which handles the real CGI executables. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long, specially-crafted argument passed to this module.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Professional .PDF files. The vulnerability is caused due to boundary error in collectEmailInfo() method in EScript.api. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted PDF file is opened.
Rosoft Media Player M3U Stack-Based Buffer Overflow Exploit
Rosoft Media Player is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input of M3U files.
