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
ProFTPD Controls Buffer Overflow Exploit The internal stack may be overrun using the controls module with a special crafted control sequence. This condition can be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the ProFTPD process, typically administrator or system. CVE-2006-6563 Linux Exploits/Local Impact
ProFTPD Controls Buffer Overflow Exploit update The internal stack may be overrun using the controls module with a special crafted control sequence. This condition can be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the ProFTPD process, typically administrator or system. CVE-2006-6563 Linux Exploits/Local Impact
ProFTPD Remote Backdoor Command Execution A backdoor introduced by attackers allows unauthenticated users remote root access to systems which run the maliciously modified version of the ProFTPD daemon. WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation. FreeBSD Exploits/Remote Impact
ProFTPD sreplace buffer overflow exploit ProFTPD is prone to an remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to an off-by-one error, allowing attackers to corrupt memory. CVE-2006-5815 Linux Exploits/Remote Impact
ProFTPD Telnet IAC Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits a stack overflow vulnerability in proftpd in order to install an agent. The vulnerability is within the function pr_netio_telnet_gets(). The issue is triggered when processing specially crafted Telnet IAC packets delivered to the FTP server.
