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
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. Windows, Linux Exploits / Client Side Impact Professional
Sophos AntiVirus PDF Key Lenght Vulnerability Exploit A Buffer Overflow exist in Sophos Antivirus when parsing encrypted revision 3 PDF files by reading the encryption key contents onto a fixed length stack buffer. Mac OS X Exploits / Client Side Impact Professional
WebPort SCADA HMI system BSQLi Privilege Escalation This module exploits a vulnerability in Webport . Windows Exploits / Remote SCADA
Nginx HTTP Server Chuncked Encoding Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability present in Nginx by bypassing the stack cookie protection and by reordering the TCP packets to make it reliable. Linux Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
AxxonSoft Axxon Next - AxxonSoft Client Directory Traversal Vulnerability This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in AxxonSoft Axxon Next - AxxonSoft Client Windows Exploits / Remote SCADA
MongoDB mongoFind Uninitialized Memory Exploit Update The mongo::mongoFind method in MongoDB makes use of uninitialized memory. A remote attacker can fill that memory address with controlled data and then call the vulnerable function in order to execute arbitrary code on the affected server.



This update adds the CVE number.
Linux Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
ABB MicroSCADA Wserver Buffer Overflow Exploit This vulnerability is a buffer overflow and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of ABB MicroSCADA Wserver without authentication.



The specific flaw exists within the wserver.exe component which listens on TCP port 12221. This component performs insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data which results in stack buffer ovreflow.
Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
IOServer Directory Traversal Vulnerability This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in IOServer Windows Exploits / Remote SCADA
EisBaer Scada Webserver Directory Traversal This module exploits a vulnerability in EisBaer Scada Webserver. Windows Exploits / Remote File Disclosure SCADA
Foscam Camera tmpfs File Disclosure Exploit This module exploits a file disclosure vulnerability on Foscam IP cameras. Due to improper access restrictions, it is possible for a remote unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from the /tmpfs/ and /log/ directories. This can be exploited to obtain valuable information such as access credentials, Wi-Fi configuration and other sensitive information in plain text. Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
VISU+ RCE This module exploits a remote vulnerability to install an agent into the target host. Windows Exploits / Remote SCADA
PolicyKit pkexec Race Condition Exploit This module exploits a local race-condition vulnerability in PolicyKit, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. Linux Exploits / Local Impact Professional
Advantech Studio Directory Traversal Vulnerability This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in Advantech Studio Windows Exploits / Remote SCADA
VMWare Infrastructure Client tsgetxu71ex552.dll ActiveX Exploit The vulnerability exists within the way that Internet Explorer

instantiates GET Extension Factory COM objects, which are not intended to be created inside of the browser. The object does not initialize properly, and this leads to a memory corruption vulnerability.
