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
HP Data Protector Cell Manager Opcode 259 Remote Code Execution Exploit The specific flaw exists within crs.exe which listens by default on a random TCP port. When parsing different opcodes, the process blindly copies user supplied data into a fixed-length stack buffer. A remote attacker can abuse this to execute remote code under the context of the SYSTEM user. CVE-2013-2329 Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Tectia SSH Server Authentication Bypass Remote Code Execution Exploit The SSH USERAUTH CHANGE REQUEST feature in SSH Tectia Server on UNIX and Linux, when old-style password authentication is enabled, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a crafted session involving entry of blank passwords.

Microsoft Windows HTTP UaF List DoS HTTP.sys has a use-after-free vulnerability that allows a remote attacker to crash the vulnerable machine. CVE-2021-31166 Windows Denial of Service / Remote Impact
Reliance4 SCADA Web Server Denial of Service Remote Denial Reliance4 SCADA Web Server Tested on: Reliance 4.9.0 Revision 45040 Windows Denial of Service / Remote SCADA
Microsoft Windows Print Spooler PrintNightmare Remote Code Execution Exploit The vulnerability has been dubbed PrintNightmare and is tracked as CVE-2021-34527. The flaw is due to the Windows Print Spooler service improperly performing privileged file operations. Microsoft says the flaw can be exploited by an authenticated user calling RpcAddPrinterDriverEx(). When exploited, an attacker gains SYSTEM privileges and can execute arbitrary code, install programs, view, change, or delete data or create new accounts with full user rights.

This update adds the ability to choose an external agent for the smb file share.
 CVE-2021-34527 Windows Exploits / Remote Impact
Windows IGMPv3 IP Options parsing Remote DoS Some Windows kernel versions are susceptible to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue allows remote attackers to crash affected kernels, denying further network service to legitimate users (MS06-007). CVE-2006-0021 Windows Denial of Service / Remote Impact Professional

Plone popen2 Remote Command Execution Exploit This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in the Zope web application server used by Plone, by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected web site.



The vulnerability exists because it is possible to remotely invoke the popen2 function from the Python os package with arbitrary arguments in the context of the affected server. This can be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable machine.
