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
PostgreSQL CVE-2019-9193 Remote Code Execution CVE-2019-9193 PostgreSQL Command Execution Linux, Windows Exploits / Remote Code Execution SCADA
MyBB CVE-2022-24734 MyBB >= 1.2.0, Linux, Windows Exploits / Remote Code Execution SCADAPRO
WebHMI_RCE The software allows the attacker to upload or transfer files of dangerous types to the WebHMI portal,
that may be automatically processed within the product's environment or lead to arbitrary code execution.
Tested on WebHMI 4.0.7475
Exploits / Remote Code Execution SCADAPRO
Windows Print Spooler Arbitrary File Deletion LPE Exploit This vulnerability allows an Arbitrary File Deletion in any protected folder.

Used in conjunction with other vulnerability that allows Arbitrary File Writing, an attacker could escalate from unprivileged user to SYSTEM.
Windows Exploits / Local Impact
Zimbra Cpio Tar Remote Code Execution Exploit An issue was discovered in Zimbra Collaboration (ZCS) 8.8.15 and 9.0. An attacker can upload arbitrary files through amavisd via a cpio loophole (extraction to /opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra/public) that can lead to incorrect access to any other user accounts. Zimbra recommends pax over cpio. Also, pax is in the prerequisites of Zimbra on Ubuntu; however, pax is no longer part of a default Red Hat installation after RHEL 6 (or CentOS 6). Once pax is installed, amavisd automatically prefers it over cpio. Linux Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities Impact
Go Anywhere MFT Accept Deserialization Vulnerability Remote Code Execution Exploit Fortra (formerly, HelpSystems) GoAnywhere MFT suffers from a pre-authentication command injection vulnerability in the License Response Servlet due to deserializing an arbitrary attacker-controlled object. This issue was patched in version 7.1.2.

Windows, Linux Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities Impact
Progress MOVEit Transfer UserGetUsersWithEmailAddress SQL Injection Vulnerability Exploit An SQL Injection Vulnerability in Progress MOVEit Transfer allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute system commands. Windows Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities Impact
