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
Sysax Multi Server SSH Username Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow on Sysax Multi Server when parsing an overly long username at the beginning of an SSH session. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
SysAid on-prem UserEntry accountID Path Traversal Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit A path traversal vulnerability in SysAid on-prem allows unauthenticated remote attackers to upload arbitrary files to the system. This allows the upload of a malicious WAR file to the web server's root directory leading to the execution of OS system commands. Windows Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities Impact
Synce Command injection exploit update This update adds the vulnerability name to reports. FreeBSD, Linux Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
SynCE Command Injection exploit This module exploits a command injection error in the function runScripts in vdccm (SynCE daemon), reached through an information message remote request. FreeBSD, Linux Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
SyncBreeze POST Username Buffer Overflow Exploit The vulnerability is a buffer overlow when parsing a POST command with a crafted username. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact
Sync Breeze Server Login Request Buffer Overflow Exploit A vulnerability exists in Sync Breeze Server v2.2.34 when processing a remote clients "LOGIN" request.The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in libpal.dll when handling network messages and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted packet sent to TCP port 9120. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Sync Breeze Enterprise Import Command Buffer Overflow Exploit A Buffer Overflow exists in Sync Breeze Enterprise 10.4.18 when parsing .XML files by Command Import. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .XML files. Windows Exploits / Client Side Impact
Sync Breeze Enterprise GET Buffer Overflow Exploit Sync Breeze Enterprise is prone to a buffer overflow when handling an overly long HTTP GET request packet. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact
Symantec Workspace Streaming Agent XMLRPC Request putFile Method Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit A vulnerability exists in the ManagementAgentServer.putFile XMLRPC call exposed by the as_agent.exe service, which allows for uploading arbitrary files under the server root.

This module abuses the auto deploy feature in the JBoss as_ste.exe instance in order to achieve remote code execution. Abused services listen on a single machine deployment, and also in the backend role in a multiple machine deployment.
Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Symantec WinFax Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits a stack overflow in library DCCFAXVW.DLL of Symantec WinFax Pro. When passing an overly long string to the AppendFax() method, arbitrary code may be executed. Windows Exploits / Client Side Impact Professional
Symantec Web Gateway PHP Injection Exploit This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in Symantec Web Gateway by using a log injection and a local file inclusion to run an arbitrary PHP script. Linux Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Symantec Web Gateway Management Console Remote Code Execution Exploit The Symantec Web Gateway Management Console before 5.2.5 allows some specially crafted entries to update the whitelist without validation. A lower-privileged but authorized management console user can bypass the whitelist validation using a specifically-modified script to create an unauthorized whitelist entry. This whitelist entry could potentially be leveraged in further malicious attempts against the network. Linux Exploits / Remote Code Execution Impact Professional
Symantec Web Gateway blocked_file.php Remote Code Execution Exploit The spywall/blocked_file.php script of Symantec Web Gateway allows remote unauthenticated users to upload files with arbitrary extensions. This can be abused by attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code on vulnerable systems.
