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
OpenSSL DTLS Fragment Buffer Overflow DoS OpenSSL is susceptible to a buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue allows remote attackers to crash a vulnerable server. This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in OpenSSL by sending a crafted packet to port 10161, causing a denial of service effect. Linux Denial of Service/Remote Impact
OpenSSL TLS Heartbeat Read Overrun Memory Disclosure Exploit A missing boundary check in the TLS Heartbeat extension in OpenSSL can be abused by remote attackers to read up to 64 kb of memory from the server. This memory disclosure vulnerability can be used by remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive information from the affected server, including private keys and session cookies. 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. Linux Exploits/Remote Impact
OpenSSL TLS Heartbeat Read Overrun Memory Disclosure Exploit Update A missing boundary check in the TLS Heartbeat extension in OpenSSL can be abused by remote attackers to read up to 64 kb of memory from the server. This memory disclosure vulnerability can be used by remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive information from the affected server, including private keys and session cookies. This update adds features to the module, like the ability to read 64 kb of data from vulnerable services, reporting the results in the Module Output window, and saving the memory dumps to disk. Linux Exploits/Remote Impact
OpenX Remote Code Execution Exploit The vulnerability is caused due to the banner-edit.php script allowing the upload of files with arbitrary extensions to a folder inside the webroot. This can be exploited to e.g. execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a specially crafted PHP script that contains the GIF magic number. Solaris Exploits/Remote Impact
OpenX Remote Code Execution Exploit Update This update adds support for Solaris and Mac OS X platforms Solaris Exploits/Remote Impact
Opera file URI Handling Buffer Overflow Exploit Opera is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer. Windows Exploits/Client Side Impact
Opera file URI Handling Buffer Overflow Exploit Update Opera is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer. This update add Decouple feature. Windows Exploits/Client Side Impact
Opera Remote Command Injection Exploit This module exploits a XSS vulnerability in the opera:historysearch page in Opera which leads to remote command injection. Linux Exploits/Client Side Impact
Opsview Monitor testnotification Remote OS Command Injection Exploit Opsview Web Management console allows to an authenticated administrator to test notifications that are triggered under certain configurable events.

The 'value' parameter is not properly sanitized, leading to an arbitrary command injection executed on the system with nagios user privileges.
