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 Remote Desktop Protocol BlueKeep DoS A Denial of Service exists in Remote Desktop Services formerly known as Terminal Services when an unauthenticated attacker connects to the target system using RDP and sends specially crafted requests. Windows Denial of Service / Remote Impact
Microsoft DHCP Server Service DoS A denial of service vulnerability exists in DHCPv6 service when an unauthenticated attacker connects to the target system and sends specially crafted requests. Windows Denial of Service / Remote Impact
Medtronic Valleylab Software Denial Of Service Vulnerability Remote Denial Of Service in Medtronic Valleylab Windows Denial of Service / Remote MEDICAL
JVSdicom Server Remote Denial Of Service Exploit RemoteThis exploit will leave the service unavailable. JVSdicom Server is an open source DICOM PACS server application that acts as a Storage Service SCP and as a Query/Retrieve Service SCP. The server is capable of accepting multiple associations simultaneously. The server administrators can configure it to contain several filesystem-based storage areas (with different AE Titles), as well as to limit access to these areas from a pre-defined AE network. Alternatively, the server features a public mode, which can be used to grant open access to the server. Windows Denial of Service / Remote MEDICAL
Smiths Medical Medfusion 4000 DHCP Denial of Service Buffer Overflow issue was discovered in Smiths Medical Medfusion 4000 Wireless Syringe Infusion Pump, Version 1.1, 1.5, and 1.6. A third-party component used in the pump does not verify input buffer size prior to copying, leading to a buffer overflow, allowing remote code execution on the target device. The pump receives the potentially malicious input infrequently and under certain conditions, increasing the difficulty of exploitation. Windows Denial of Service / Remote MEDICAL

Ambarella Oryx RTSP Server Denial of service A buffer overflow in the RTSP service of the Ambarella Oryx RTSP Server 2020-01-07 allows an unauthenticated attacker to send a crafted RTSP request, with a long digest authentication header, to execute arbitrary code in parse_authentication_header() in libamprotocol-rtsp.so.1 in rtsp_svc (or cause a crash). Windows Denial of Service / Remote IOT
Viper RGB Driver Read Write IO Ports DoS The IOCTL Codes 0x80102050 and 0x80102054 allow a low privileges user to read/write 1/2/4 bytes from/to an IO port. This could be leveraged in a number of ways to ultimately run code with elevated privileges. Windows Denial of Service / Local Impact
