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.

TP-Link Technologies TL-WA850RE Wi-Fi Range Extender Unauthorized Remote Reboot This module exploits a Information Disclosure vulnerability in D-Link DIR850L Windows Exploits / Remote IOT
Tp-link EAP Controller Exploit Tp-link EAP Controller does not handle privilege management correctly so a non privileged user can execute privileged actions. This module will try to change the device's settings and enable ssh in order to take control of the managed Access Points. Windows, Linux Exploits / Authentication Weakness / Known Vulnerabilities Impact
TP-Link C2 and C20i Denial of Service TP-Link C2 and C20i Denial of Service Windows Exploits / Remote IOT
Total Video Player M3U Playlist Buffer Overflow Exploit Total Video Player contains a buffer prone to exploitation via an overly long string. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Total Video Player when handling .M3U files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .M3U file Windows Exploits/Client Side Impact
Tomcat orderby Cross Site Scripting Exploit The session list screen (provided by sessionList.jsp) in affected versions uses the orderBy and sort request parameters without applying filtering and therefore is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack. Users should be aware that Tomcat 6 does not use httpOnly for session cookies by default so this vulnerability could expose session cookies from the manager application to an attacker. none Exploits/Cross Site Scripting (XSS)/Known Vulnerabilities Impact
