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.

nginx Encoded Directory Trasversal Denial of Service Exploit nginx 0.8.36 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain encoded directory traversal sequences that trigger memory corruption, as demonstrated using the "%c0.%c0." sequence. Windows Denial of Service/Remote Impact
Newport Electronics iDRX ActiveX 1.3 Control Remote File Overwrite Vulnerability This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them. Exploits / Client Side SCADA
Newport Electronics iDRN-iDRX Signal Conditioners ActiveX Control Remote File Overwrite Vulnerability This module will receive HTTP requests from vulnerable clients and install agents on them. Exploits / Client Side SCADA
New features for MSRPC exploits Added support for NT and LM hashes as authentication mechanism. Added fragmentation support for /TCP and /SMB transports. Added fragmentation for DCERPC over any transport. This two different types of fragmentation can be combined or used independently. Windows Exploits/Remote Impact
NetTerm NetFTPD USER Buffer Overflow Exploit An internal memory buffer may be overrun while handling long "USER" command. This condition may be exploited by attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the privileges of the NetTerm NetFTPD.exe process. Windows Exploits/Remote Impact
NetSupport Manager Agent Buffer Overflow Exploit This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow in Netsupport Agent via a long control hostname to TCP port 5405. Linux Exploits/Remote Impact
NetOp Remote Control Client Buffer Overflow Exploit A stack-based buffer overflow can be exploited in NetOp Remote Control when opening a crafted .dws file with a string longer then 520 characters. Windows Exploits/Client Side Impact
Netmechanica NetDecision HTTP Server Buffer Overflow Exploit Update A buffer overflow in NetDecision's HTTP service is exploited when a long URL is managed by the HTTP Server's active window. For successfull exploitation, the victim need to have the HttpSvr's window open. This version add CVE. Windows Exploits/Remote Impact
