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.

NOVUS NConfig 0-Day DoS/PoC This module causes a Denial of Service in NOVUS NConfig. Windows Denial of Service / Remote SCADA
Sunway Webserver Remote Command Execution This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in the Sunway WebServer that may leads to the command execution. Successfull exploitation allowing the creation of the user 'hacker' with password '12345'. CVE-9999-9999 Windows Exploits / Remote SCADA
Schneider Electric Vijeo Web Gate Server DoS crashing the server 0-Day Remote Denial Of Service in Koohi.exe Windows Denial of Service / Remote SCADA
IPESOFT D2000 SCADA Directory Traversal Vulnerability This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in IPESOFT D2000 SCADA Windows Exploits / Remote SCADA
EATON VURemote 0-Day DoS This module causes a Denial of Service in EATON VURemote. Windows Denial of Service / Remote SCADA
XISOM X-Scada Directory Traversal Vulnerability 0-day This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in XISOM X-Scada Windows Exploits / Remote SCADAPRO
SolarWinds Orion Collector Service MSMQ Deserialization Remote Code Execution Exploit The Collector Service in SolarWinds Orion Platform before 2020.2.4 uses MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queue) and doesn't set permissions on its private queues. As a result, remote unauthenticated clients can send messages to TCP port 1801 that the Collector Service will process. Additionally, upon processing of such messages, the service deserializes them in insecure manner, allowing remote arbitrary code execution as LocalSystem. CVE-2021-25274 Windows Exploits / Remote Impact
Fernhill SCADA Server Denial of Service Remote Denial Of Service in Fernhill SCADA Windows Developer. Specially crafted packets may also be sent to Fernhill SCADA Server port 20295 (default), result in a denial-of-service.
Exploit crash server process FHSvrService.exe 		Denial of Service / Remote SCADA
Dnsmasq Integer Underflow DoS In dnsmasq before 2.78, if the DNS packet size does not match the expected size, the size parameter in a memset call gets a negative value. As it is an unsigned value, memset ends up writing up to 0xffffffff zero's (0xffffffffffffffff in 64 bit platforms), making dnsmasq crash. CVE-2017-13704 Linux Denial of Service / Remote Impact
Microsoft Windows HTTP Stack DoS This bug could allow an attacker to gain code execution on an affected system by sending specially crafted packets to a system utilizing the HTTP Protocol Stack (http.sys) to process packets. No user interaction, no privileges required, and an elevated service add up to a wormable bug. And while this is definitely more server-centric, remember that Windows clients can also run http.sys, so all affected versions are affected by this bug. Test and deploy this patch quickly.
 CVE-2022-21907 Windows Denial of Service / Remote Impact
EFS Chat Server POST Buffer Overflow Exploit Username parameter in Registeration page 'register.ghp' is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability.

Application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. 		NOCVE-9999-92479 Windows Exploits / Remote Impact
3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH CODESYS Web Server Upload Restricted File and Buffer Overflow Exploit A specially crafted web server request may allow the upload of arbitrary files to the CODESYS Web Server without authorization which may allow remote code execution.

A malicious user could overflow a buffer by providing overly long strings to functions that handle the XML. Because the function does not verify string size before copying to memory, the attacker may then be able to crash the application or run arbitrary code. 		CVE-2017-6027 Windows Exploits / Remote Impact
Repetier Server Directory Traversal Vulnerability This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in Repetier Server Software Windows Exploits / Remote SCADA
Advantech WebAccess Dashboard Viewer Remote Code Execution Exploit This module exploits an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Advantech WebAccess. The specific flaw exists within the WebAccess Dashboard Viewer. Insufficient validation within the FileUpload script allows unauthenticated callers to upload arbitrary code to directories in the server where the code can be automatically executed under the high-privilege context of the IIS AppPool.



Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. 		CVE-2016-0854 Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
WiSCADA TsDatabase 0-Day Denial of Service Remote Denial Of Service in WiSCADA TsDatabase. Specially crafted packets may also be sent to WiSCADA TsDatabase port 80 (default), result in a denial-of-service.
