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
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. CVE-2013-3969 Linux Exploits/Remote Impact
MongoDB nativeHelper Remote Code Execution Exploit This module exploits a vulnerability in MongoDB server. An arbitrary value passed as a parameter to the nativeHelper function in MongoDB server allows an attacker to control the execution flows to achieve remote code execution. CVE-2013-1892 Linux Exploits/Remote Impact
Moodle blog Cross Site Scripting Exploit Some parameters were not being properly cleaned on the blog index page, allowing non-persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Exploits/Cross Site Scripting (XSS)/Known Vulnerabilities Impact
Moodle CVE-2022-0983 Auth SQL Injection Moodle 3.11.5 Authenticated SQL Injection Exploits / Remote SCADA
Moodle phpcoverage_home Cross Site Scripting Exploit Moodle fails to sanitize the phpcoverage_home parameter in phpcoverage.remote.top.inc.php leading to a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. Exploits/Cross Site Scripting (XSS)/Known Vulnerabilities Impact
Moodle Tex Filter Remote Code Execution Exploit A Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability has been found in filter/tex/texed.php. Due to the fact this file does not properly check the input parameters, it is possible to exploit this vulnerability in order to execute arbitrary commands on the target server. This module starts a web server on the CORE IMPACT Console to publish the agent, which is downloaded from the target. In order to exploit this vulnerability register_globals must be enabled (in PHP) and the TeX Notation filter in Moodle must be turned on. Linux Exploits/Remote Impact
Moodle Tex Filter Remote Code Execution Exploit Update This module exploits a Moodle Tex Filter Remote Code Execution vulnerability installing an agent. This update adds support for the Solaris platform. Windows Exploits/Remote Impact
Moodle Tex Filter Remote Code Execution Exploit Upgrade This update adds Windows (XP) to the supported target systems for this exploit. Windows Exploits/Remote Impact
Moore Industries NCS Configuration 0-Day DoS This module causes a Denial of Service in Moore Industries NCS Configuration Windows Denial of Service / Remote SCADA
MoreAmp MAF File Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits an improper bound checking in MoreAmp when importing a MAF (song list) file. This causes a stack based overflow and allows code execution on the targeted system with the privileges of the user which is running the application. CVE-2010-2439 Windows Exploits/Client Side Impact
Motorola Netopia netOctopus SDCS Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the Motorola Netopia netOctopus SDCS server service. The vulnerability exists within the code responsible for parsing client requests. When reading in a request from the network, a 32-bit integer is read in that specifies the number of bytes that follow. This value is not validated, and is then used to read data into a fixed-size stack buffer. This results in an exploitable stack buffer overflow. CVE-2008-2153 Windows Exploits/Remote Impact
Motorola Timbuktu Pro PlughNTCommand Stack Based Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits a remote stack-based buffer overflow in Motorola Timbuktu Pro by sending a long malformed string over the plughNTCommand named pipe. CVE-2009-1394 Windows Exploits/Remote Impact
Movicon 11.6 Scada/HMI platform Directory Traversal Vulnerability This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in AGG Software Web Server Windows Exploits / Remote SCADA
MoviePlay LST Buffer Overflow Exploit The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in MoviePlay when handling .LST files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .LST file. This module runs a malicious web server on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to it. Windows Exploits/Client Side Impact
