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.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure Java Object Deserialization Remote Code Execution Exploit Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2.0 through 2.2(2) and Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager (EPNM) 1.2 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted deserialized data in an HTTP POST request, aka Bug ID CSCuw03192. Linux Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
ActiveMQ STOMP Protocol Unsafe Deserialization Exploit JMS Object messages within Apache ActiveMQ depend on Java Serialization for marshaling/unmashaling of the message payload. This lead to execution of untrusted code when a specially crafted object is received.



This update introduces an exploit that will attempt to connect using the STOMP protocol and abuse the vulnerability to execute a Core Impact agent in the vulnerable system.

Jenkins CLI Arbitrary File Read Exploit This vulnerability in Jenkins allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files in the Jenkins controller's file system. It arises from a function in the CLI command parser that replaces an '@' character followed by a file path with the file's content. By exploiting this vulnerability, attackers can gain unauthorized access to sensitive files and compromise the system's integrity. Windows, Linux Exploits / Remote Impact
Reprise License Manager akey Buffer Overflow Vulnerability The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling the

"akey" POST parameter related to /goform/activate_doit, which can be

exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially

crafted HTTP request.

Apache Struts 2 DefaultActionMapper method Remote Code Execution Exploit The DefaultActionMapper class in Apache Struts 2 supports a Dynamic Method Invocation feature via the "method:" prefix. The information contained in this prefix is not properly sanitized before being evaluated as OGNL expressions on the server side, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Java code on the server.



This module exploits the vulnerability in any web application built on top of vulnerable versions of the Apache Struts 2 framework with the "struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation" configuration parameter in struts.xml set to True.
