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
D-Link DIR-823G(1.02B03) Command Injection Vulnerability A command injection vulnerability has been found on D-Link DIR-823G devices with firmware version 1.02B03 that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands through well-designed /HNAP1 requests.
Before the HNAP API function can process the request, the system function executes an untrusted command that triggers the vulnerability.

DiskSavvy Enterprise GET Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the web interface of DiskSavvy Enterprise caused by improper bounds checking of the request path in HTTP GET requests sent to the built-in web server. Windows Exploits / Remote Impact
OracleDB DBMS AW.EXECUTE CDA Command Remote Stack Overflow Exploit Update Oracle Database Server Core RDBMS component is prone to a remote vulnerability that allows attackers to exploit a stack-based buffer overflow in the EXECUTE procedure of DBMS_AW.

Using an overly long parameter in the CDA command with the previous procedure, a stack-based buffer overflow will occur, overwriting the saved return address.

This module requires database user credentials with 'Create Session' privilege.



This update fixes a variable referenced before assignment bug.

WebNMS Framework Server Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability Exploit A vulnerability exists in the FileUploadServlet servlet of WebNMS Framework Server. This servlet allows unauthenticated file uploads. By uploading a JSP file, an attacker can achieve remote code execution. Linux, Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Apache RocketMQ Remote Command Execution Exploit Apache RocketMQ versions 5.1.0 and below are vulnerable to arbitrary code injection. Broker component of RocketMQ is leaked on the extranet and lack permission verification. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by using the update configuration function to execute commands as the system users that RocketMQ is running as. Linux Exploits / Remote Impact
Jenkins XStream Java Library Deserialization Vulnerability Remote Code Execution Exploit Jenkins is prone to a remote vulnerability due to deserialization of untrusted inputs, allowing attackers to instantiate arbitrary Java objects leading to remote code execution.



There are several API endpoints that allow low-privilege users to POST XML files that then get deserialized by Jenkins. Maliciously crafted XML files sent to these API endpoints could result in arbitrary code execution.
