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
Jetty Directory Listing Cross Site Scripting Exploit A Cross-Site scripting vulnerability has been reported in Jetty. This vulnerability can be induced whenever Jetty displays a web directory listing. Client-side script code can be included in the HTTP response by appending it next to directory listing's path, preceded by a ';' character.

JOnAS Remote Command Injection Exploit This module exploits a XSS vulnerability in JOnAS which allows IMPACT Pro to perform remote command injection impersonating an administrator and uploading a plugin to the JOnAS server. This module runs a web server waiting for a JOnAS administrator to connect to it. When the client connects, it will retrieve their JOnAS cookie and try to install an agent on the JOnAS server by installing a custom plugin in JOnAS. Windows Exploits/Client Side Impact

Joomla UsersModelRegistration Admin Registration Vulnerability Exploit The register method in the UsersModelRegistration class in controllers/user.php in the Users component in Joomla! before 3.6.4 allows remote attackers to gain privileges by leveraging incorrect use of unfiltered data when registering on a site. This registration works even when registration has been disabled.



This module exploits this vulnerability to add an administrator user to the Joomla database. Notice that this account could need registration confirmation (activation).

Jovision IP camera Credential Disclosure Vulnerability This module exploits a Information Disclosure vulnerability in Jovision IP camera Windows Exploits / Remote IOT
JUNG Smart Panel Designer Directory Traversal 0day This module exploits a Directory Traversal vulnerability in JUNG Smart Panel Designer Windows Exploits / Remote SCADAPRO
Jungo DriverWizard WinDriver Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write Privilege Escalation Exploit This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Jungo WinDriver. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.



The specific flaw exists within the processing of IOCTL 0x953824a7 by the windrvr12xx kernel driver. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied data which can result in an out-of-bounds write condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of kernel.

JVSdicom Server Remote Denial Of Service Exploit RemoteThis exploit will leave the service unavailable. JVSdicom Server is an open source DICOM PACS server application that acts as a Storage Service SCP and as a Query/Retrieve Service SCP. The server is capable of accepting multiple associations simultaneously. The server administrators can configure it to contain several filesystem-based storage areas (with different AE Titles), as well as to limit access to these areas from a pre-defined AE network. Alternatively, the server features a public mode, which can be used to grant open access to the server. Windows Denial of Service / Remote MEDICAL
