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.

openERM_SQLi SQL Injection in add_edit_event_user.php is caused by unsanitized user input from the eid, userid, and pid parameters.
Exploiting this vulnerability requires authentication to Patient Portal
Tested on OpenEMR 5.0.1 (Path 3) - SQL Injection
Exploits / SQL Injection MEDICAL
OpenEMR pc_category Cross Site Scripting Exploit OpenEMR fails to sanitize the pc_category parameter in interface/main/calendar/index.php leading to a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. Exploits / Known Vulnerabilities Impact Professional
OpenBSD XMM Exceptions DoS OpenBSD is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability.

XMM exceptions are not correctly handled, resulting in a kernel panic.

OpenBSD Denial of Service / Local Impact Professional
OpenBSD PF IP ICMPV6 Remote DoS Update OpenBSD's PF is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability.

Exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to cause a kernel panic on affected computers, denying further service to legitimate users.



This update improves reliability in Impact 10.
OpenBSD Denial of Service / Remote Impact Professional
OpenBSD PF IP ICMPV6 Remote DoS OpenBSD's PF is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability.



Exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to cause a kernel panic on affected computers, denying further service to legitimate users.
OpenBSD Denial of Service / Remote Impact Professional
OpenBSD PF IP Fragment Remote DoS This module exploits a OpenBSD's PF remote denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue is due to a flaw in affected kernels that results in a kernel crash when attempting to normalize IP fragments. OpenBSD Denial of Service / Remote Impact Professional
OpenBSD IPv6 mbuf Remote Exploit This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the OpenBSD kernel; the exploit uses fragmented ICMPv6 packets to take complete control of a target system. OpenBSD Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
OpenBSD DHCP Remote DoS Update This module exploits a vulnerability in DHCP Server in OpenBSD. The vulnerability is caused due to the improper handling of DHCP requests within dhcpd in the cons_options() function in options.c. This cause a stack-based buffer corruption by sending a specially crafted DHCP request specifying a maximum message size smaller than 278.

Linux, OpenBSD Denial of Service / Remote Impact Professional
OpenBSD DHCP Remote DoS This module exploits a vulnerability in DHCP Server in OpenBSD. The vulnerability is caused due to the improper handling of DHCP requests within dhcpd in the cons_options() function in options.c. This cause a stack-based buffer corruption by sending a specially crafted DHCP request specifying a maximum message size smaller than 278.



This module, if successfull, will leave the service (dhcpd) unavailable.
Linux, OpenBSD Denial of Service / Remote Impact Professional
OpenAudit Remote Code Execution (CVE-2020-12078) An issue was discovered in Open-AudIT 3.3.1. There is shell metacharacter injection via attributes to an open-audit/configuration/ URI. An attacker can exploit this by adding an excluded IP address to the global discovery settings (internally called exclude_ip). This exclude_ip value is passed to the exec function in the discoveries_helper.php file (inside the all_ip_list function) without being filtered, which means that the attacker can provide a payload instead of a valid IP address.
