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
Cacti OS Command Injection Exploit A command injection vulnerability allows an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code on a server running Cacti, if a specific data source was selected for any monitored device. CVE-2022-46169 Linux Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities Impact
Cacti OS Command Injection Exploit Update A command injection vulnerability allows an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code on a server running Cacti, if a specific data source was selected for any monitored device. CVE-2022-46169 Linux Exploits / OS Command Injection / Known Vulnerabilities Impact
Cacti Unauthenticated Command Injection The vulnerability resides in the `remote_agent.php` file. This file can be accessed without authentication. This function retrieves the IP address of the client via `get_client_addr` and resolves this IP address to the corresponding hostname via `gethostbyaddr`. After this, it is verified that an entry within the `poller` table exists, where the hostname corresponds to the resolved hostname. If such an entry was found, the function returns `true` and the client is authorized. This authorization can be bypassed due to the implementation of the `get_client_addr` function. CVE-2022-46169 Exploits / Remote SCADA
Cain and Abel RDP Stack Overflow Exploit This module exploits a vulnerability caused by a boundary error in the processing of RDP files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into decoding a specially crafted RDP file. CVE-2008-5405 Exploits / Client Side Impact Professional
CakePHP unserialize Remote Code Execution Exploit CakePHP is vulnerable to a file inclusion attack because of its use of the

"unserialize()" function on unchecked user input. This makes it possible

to inject arbitary objects into the scope. 		CVE-2010-4335 Linux Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Camtasia Studio mfc90enu DLL Hijacking Exploit Camtasia Studio is prone to a vulnerability that may allow the execution of any library file named mfc90enu.dll, if this dll is located in the same folder than a .CMMP file. NOCVE-9999-46013 Windows Exploits / Client Side Impact Professional
Camtron CMNC-200 IP Camera Denial of Service Vulnerability Denial of service Camtron CMNC-200 IP Camera DoS Exploit Windows Denial of Service / Remote IOT
Canary Labs Axiom Information Disclosure Canary Labs Axiom Information Disclosure Exploits / Client Side SCADA
Canon Printer TR150 Driver Local Privilege Escalation Exploit The Canon TR150 print driver is vulnerable to a privilege escalation issue. During the add printer process an attacker can overwrite a DLL and, if timed properly, the overwritten DLL will be loaded into a SYSTEM process resulting in escalation of privileges. CVE-2021-38085 Windows Exploits / Local Impact
Carel PlantVisorPro Hardcoded Password Exploit This module exploits hardcoded password vulnerability in Carel PlantVisorPro 2.0. Exploits / Authentication Weakness SCADA
