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
MyBB CVE-2022-24734 MyBB >= 1.2.0, Linux, Windows Exploits / Remote Code Execution SCADAPRO
MyBB Privilege Escalation Exploit A vulnerability has been reported in MyBB, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks. Input passed via the "birthdayprivacy" parameter to inc/datahandlers/user.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. Successful exploitation requires a valid user account. The vulnerability is reported in MyBB 1.4.x versions prior to 1.4.7. Exploits/Authentication Weakness Impact
mySCADA myPRO 7 remote discover all ProjectID mySCADA myPRO 7 allows remote attackers to discover all ProjectIDs in a project by sending all of the prj parameter values from 870000 to 875000 requests to TCP port 11010. Exploits / Client Side SCADA
MyScada MyPRO Hardcode RCE This module exploits a remote vulnerability to install an agent into the target host. Windows Exploits / Remote SCADA
MySQL create function exploit update MySQL 4.0.23 and earlier, and 4.1.x up to 4.1.10, allows remote authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE privileges to execute arbitrary code by using CREATE FUNCTION to access libc calls. This module exploits this vulnerability, and this update improve the exploit reliability. Linux Exploits/Remote Impact
MySQL MaxDB WebTool GET Request Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the MySQL MaxDB WebTool Server and installs a level0 agent. Windows Exploits/Remote Impact
MySQL with yaSSL SSL Certificate Handling Remote Stack Buffer Overflow Exploit MySQL compiled with yaSSL is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Linux Exploits/Remote Impact
MySQL yaSSL Exploit This module exploits a remote buffer-overflow in MySQL servers using yaSSL. Windows Exploits/Remote Impact
MySQL yaSSL Exploit update This update adds support for Linux, Freebsd and additional MySQL versions. Windows Exploits/Remote Impact
Nagios Command Injection Exploit A vulnerability has been reported in Nagios, which can be exploited by malicious users to potentially compromise a vulnerable system. Input passed to the "ping" parameter in statuswml.cgi is not properly sanitized before being used to invoke the ping command. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands. Additional research revealed that this parameter is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery. This module exploits the XSRF vulnerability in order to install an agent using the command injection vulnerability. Linux Exploits/Client Side Impact
Nagios history Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in Nagios history.cgi by sending a malformed host parameter. Linux Exploits/Remote Impact
National Instruments ActiveX LabWindows/CVI, LabVIEW Remote Code Execution This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them. Exploits / Client Side SCADA
National Instruments LabWindows/CVI, LabVIEW ActiveX Remote Code Execution This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them. Exploits / Client Side SCADA
NaviCOPA Web Server Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of HTTP GET requests. This may allow execution of arbitrary code by sending an overly long, specially crafted HTTP GET request to the server. Windows Exploits/Remote Impact
NCTAudioFile2 ActiveX Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits a vulnerability in the NCTAudioFile2.AudioFile ActiveX Control (NCTAudioFile2.dll) used by various multimedia applications. The exploit is triggered when a long string argument is processed by the SetFormatLikeSample() method resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. This module runs a malicious web site on the CORE IMPACT Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the web site. Windows Exploits/Client Side Impact
NeoTrace ActiveX Exploit This module exploits a vulnerability in the NeoTraceExplorer ActiveX Control (NeoTraceExplorer.dll). The exploit is triggered when a long string argument is processed by the TraceTarget() method resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.
