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.

Adobe Reader JBIG2Decode Memory Corruption Exploit update This module exploits an array indexing vulnerability in Adobe Reader when handling a specially crafted PDF file.

This update adds support for Windows XP SP2, Windows 2000 Professional SP4 and improves reliability when exploiting from browsers. 		CVE-2009-0658 Windows Exploits / Client Side Impact Professional
Apple QuickTime PICT File PnSize Buffer Overflow Exploit The vulnerability exists within the way Quicktime handles the PnSize

PICT opcode. It converts an unsigned 16 bit value into a signed 32 bit

value, this is later used as the size parameter for a memory copy

function that copies from the file onto the stack. The results in a

stack based buffer overflow that allows for remote code execution under

the context of the current user. 		CVE-2011-0257 Windows Exploits / Client Side Impact Professional
The KMPlayer MP3 Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in The KMPplayer when parsing a malformed, specially crafted .MP3 file. NOCVE-9999-48670 Windows Exploits / Client Side Impact Professional
Adobe Flash Player Arguments Indexing Exploit Flash Player is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability that is caused by the lack of bounds-checking when indexing the arguments of a function.

This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by enticing an unsuspecting user to visit a malicious Web page containing a specially crafted SWF file.



This exploit bypasses ASLR and DEP in order to deploy an agent. 		CVE-2011-2110 Windows Exploits / Client Side Impact Professional
Oracle Java ByteComponentRaster Memory Corruption Exploit The ByteComponentRaster.verify() method in Oracle Java versions prior to 7u25 holds a memory corruption vulnerability that allows the bypassing of "dataOffsets[]" boundary checks. This module exploits such vulnerability allowing for remote code execution. CVE-2013-2473 Windows, Linux Exploits / Client Side Impact Professional
