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 Windows Media Player MIDI Heap Overflow Exploit (MS12-004) Update This module exploits a heap overflow in Windows Media Player (winmm.dll) when handling a specially crafted MIDI file.

 CVE-2012-0003 Windows Exploits / Client Side Impact Professional
TurboFTP Server PORT Command Buffer Overflow Exploit TurboFTP Server is prone to a buffer-overflow when processing a malformed PORT command. NOCVE-9999-54992 Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Microsoft Internet Explorer Fixed Table Col Span Exploit (MS12-037) Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 is prone to a heap overflow vulnerability caused by an incorrect handling of the span attribute for col elements from a fixed table, when they are modified dynamically by javascript code. CVE-2012-1876 Windows Exploits / Client Side Impact Professional
Kingsoft Writer WPS Font Names Buffer Overflow Exploit Kingsoft Writer is prone to a Buffer Overflow when handling font names via a specially crafted WPS file with an overly long font name. CVE-2013-3934 Windows Exploits / Client Side Impact Professional
Apache Struts 2 DefaultActionMapper redirect Remote Code Execution Exploit The DefaultActionMapper class in Apache Struts2 supports a method for short-circuit navigation state changes by prefixing parameters with "action:" or "redirect:". The information contained in these prefixes 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. 		CVE-2013-2251 Windows, Linux, Mac OS X Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
MinaliC Webserver GET Buffer Overflow Exploit The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the handling of HTTP "GET" requests. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted overly long request. This request must avoid some special characters in order to cause the overflow. NOCVE-9999-58667 Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
HP Data Protector Cell Manager Opcode 259 Remote Code Execution Exploit The specific flaw exists within crs.exe which listens by default on a random TCP port. When parsing different opcodes, the process blindly copies user supplied data into a fixed-length stack buffer.
