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
Exim With Dovecot LDA Remote Code Execution Exploit The Dovecot documentation contains an example using a dangerous configuration option for Exim, which leads to a remote command execution vulnerability. Linux Exploits/Remote Impact
Exim string_format Buffer Overflow Exploit The internal string handling functions of the Exim software contain a function called string_format(). The version of this function included with Exim versions prior to 4.70 contains a flaw that can result in a buffer overflow. This module exploits the vulnerability to install an agent. Additionally, this module also attempts to exploit the Alternate Configuration Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in Exim (CVE-2010-4345). If the second exploit is successful, the agent is installed with root privileges. CVE-2010-4344 Linux Exploits/Remote Impact
Exim perl_startup Configuration Variable Local Privilege Escalation Exploit Exim installations compiled with Perl support do not perform sanitation of the environment before loading a perl script defined with perl_startup setting in exim config file. This can be exploited by malicious local attackers to gain root privileges. CVE-2016-1531 Linux Exploits/Local Impact
Exim Ghost Buffer Overflow Exploit This update includes a module that remotely exploits CVE-2015-0235 (a.k.a. GHOST, a heap-based buffer overflow in the GNU C Library's gethostbyname functions) on x86 and x86_64 GNU/Linux systems that run the Exim mail server. CVE-2015-0235 Linux Exploits/Remote Impact
Exchange X-LINK2STATE CHUNK Exploit This module exploits a heap based buffer overflow handling the X-LINK2STATE command in the SMTP service of Exchange Server. CVE-2005-0560 Windows Exploits/Remote Impact
