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.

Mantis Manage_proj_page Remote Code Execution Exploit Update 4 This module exploits a Remote Code Execution vulnerability in Mantis

version 1.1.3 when handling the sort parameter in manage_proj_page without

the proper validation that leads to a remote code execution on Mantis' Web

server.

This update adds support for the AIX platform.
Solaris, Linux, Windows, AIX, Mac OS X Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
SolidWorks Workgroup PDM 2014 Opcode 2001 Remote Code Execution Exploit A stack buffer overflow occurs when copying a user supplied input to a fixed size stack buffer without boundary check leading to overwrite the SEH and the return address.

The copying procedure stops when a null word is found and no size check is proceeded.
Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Atlassian JIRA Issue Collector Plugin Path Traversal Vulnerability Exploit A path traversal vulnerability affects the Issue Collector plugin in Atlassian JIRA. This module exploits that vulnerability to achieve remote code execution. The installed agent will have SYSTEM privileges. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Adobe ColdFusion l10n.cfm Remote Code Execution Exploit The /CFIDE/adminapi/customtags/l10n.cfm page in Adobe ColdFusion does not properly validate its attributes.file parameter. This can be abused by a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable servers. Windows, Linux Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
e107 Install Script Command Injection Exploit e107 CMS is vulnerable to a command injection in its installation script due to a lack of sanitization on the MySQL server parameter. Windows, Solaris, Linux, Mac OS X Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
General Electric ihDataArchiver Service Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits a remote buffer overflow vulnerability in the ihDataArchiver.exe service included in several GE SCADA applications by sending a malformed packet to the 14000/TCP port. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
NJStar Communicator MiniSMTP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit Stack Overflow in the MiniSmtp Server component of the NJStar Communicator. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup SQL agent exploit This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows and installs a level0 agent. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
OpenLDAP modrdn Request Multiple Vulnerabilities OpenLDAP allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service effect (service crash) via a modrdn call with a zero-length RDN destination string, which is not properly handled by the smr_normalize function and triggers a NULL pointer dereference in the IA5StringNormalize function within schema_init.c Mac OS X Denial of Service / Remote Impact Professional
phpScheduleit 1.2.10 Remote Code Execution Exploit Update Eval injection vulnerability in reserve.php in phpScheduleIt 1.2.10 and earlier, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the start_date parameter.

Microsoft Windows DNS Server NAPTR Record DoS (MS11-058) This module triggers a remote denial of service condition in Microsoft Windows DNS server. Windows Denial of Service / Remote Impact Professional
Microsoft Windows Group Policy Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Exploit (MS15-011) This module exploits, via a "Man In The Middle" attack, a security flaw in the Domain Controller policies downloaded by clients during the logging process Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Microsoft Windows HTTP.sys Range Integer Overflow Memory Disclosure Exploit (MS15-034) The code that handles the 'Range' HTTP header in the HTTP.sys driver in Microsoft Windows, which is used by Internet Information Services (IIS), is prone to an integer overflow vulnerability when processing a specially crafted HTTP request with a very long upper range.



This integer overflow vulnerability can be leveraged to generate a memory disclosure condition, in which the HTTP.sys driver will return more data than it should from kernel memory, thus allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information from the affected server.

Microsoft Windows SMB 2.0 Negotiate Protocol Request Remote Exploit This module exploits a vulnerability on srv2.sys via a SMB 2 malformed packet.



This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.

Microsoft WINS Exploit (MS08-034) A memory corruption vulnerability in the ChkNtfSock function of wins.exe allows remote code execution.

The WINS service listens on more than one UDP port (it listens on 42/udp and also on a dynamic UDP port).

This attack targets the dynamic udp port, thus it requires the identification of such dynamic port by the user.

This can be accomplished by running a port scanner module such as the 'Port Scanner - UDP' module.
