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.

Title Description Date Added CVE Link Exploit Platform Exploit Type Product Name
Jenkins commons-collections Java Library Deserialization Vulnerability Remote Code Execution Exploit Update Jenkins is prone to a remote vulnerability due to deserialization of untrusted inputs, allowing attackers to instantiate arbitrary Java objects leading to remote code execution.



This update adds proper CVE number, support for Jenkins with HTTPS enabled, and DNS channel support. It also extends on the supported platforms, improves IPv6 functionality and removes redundant code.
Windows, Linux Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Dassault Systemes Catia CATV5_Backbone_Bus Buffer Overflow Exploit A stack buffer overflow occurs when copying a user supplied input to a fixed size stack buffer.

The copying procedure stops when a null byte is found and no size check is proceeded.
Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
VCMS Image Arbitrary Upload Exploit A unrestricted file upload vulnerability exists in includes/inline_image_upload.php within AutoSec Tools V-CMS 1.0. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with an executable extension and then accessing it via a direct request to the file in temp. Solaris, Linux, Windows, Mac OS X Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
File Sharing Wizard HEAD Command Buffer Overflow Exploit File Sharing Wizard is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the OmniInet.exe service included in the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector application by sending a malformed MSG_PROTOCOL packet. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
HP Operations Manager Server Backdoor Account Exploit This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in HP Operations Manager by using an undocumented user account to upload an arbitrary file. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Novell eDirectory Network Request Buffer Overflow Exploit A boundary error exists in the dhost.dll component of Novell eDirectory post authentication when processing list of modules. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted request with an overly long module name.


Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Wireshark PROFINET Dissector Format String Exploit Wireshark is prone to a format-string vulnerability. Attackers can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the vulnerable application. Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Sami FTP Server Authentication Buffer Overflow Exploit The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the authentication process. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending an overly long, specially-crafted password to the affected server and waiting for the administrator of Sami FTP Server to set focus on the GUI of the program in order to deploy an agent. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
SNORT SMB Fragmentation Buffer Overflow Exploit Update This module exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the Sourcefire Snort DCE/RPC preprocessor. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Snort process.



This update adds support for Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 and FreeBSD 6.2 on Impact 7.5

Linux, FreeBSD Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Advantech WebAccess webvrpcs viewdll1 VdBroadWinGetLocalDataLogEx Buffer Overflow Exploit The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the 0x13C80 IOCTL in the BwOpcTool subsystem in VdBroadWinGetLocalDataLogEx. When parsing the NamedObject structure, the process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length buffer. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact
