Core Certified Exploits

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 Office SharePoint Server 2007 Document Conversions Exploit Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the Document Conversions Launcher Service in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, when the Document Conversions Load Balancer Service is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SOAP request to TCP port 8082 Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
IBM Lotus Domino BMP parsing Buffer Overflow Exploit Update 2 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 add encryption.
Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
IBM Lotus Domino LDAP ModifyRequest Add Exploit 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. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
exploitlib local privilege escalation update This update fixes an issue in the dynamic_fork mem_execute implementation used by some privilege escalation exploits. Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
AVG Remote Administration StoreServerConfig Command Remote Code Execution Exploit 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. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Tomcat Deploy Manager Default Account Code Execution Exploit Update This update enhaces the functionality of this module. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Microsoft Windows SMB Memory Corruption Vulnerability DoS (MS15-083) This module exploits an integer overflow in srvnet.sys Windows driver by sending a crafted SMB request to the Windows SMB Server. Windows Denial of Service / Remote Impact Professional
