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
Mozilla WebThings Authorized File Delete Mozilla WebThings Authorized File Delete Exploits / Remote IOT
Netgear DGN2200 DGND3700 Admin Password Disclosure Vulnerability This module exploits a Information Disclosure vulnerability in Netgear DGN2200 DGND3700 Windows Exploits / Remote IOT
Vivotek IP Cameras Credentials Leaked via Path Traversal Vulnerability This module exploits Vivotek IP Cameras Credentials Leaked via Path Traversal CVE-2013-1597 Windows Exploits / Remote IOT
Medtronic Valleylab Software Denial Of Service Vulnerability Remote Denial Of Service in Medtronic Valleylab Windows Denial of Service / Remote MEDICAL
EBMPICO Information Disclosure Vulnerability This module exploits a Information Disclosure vulnerability in EBMPICO Windows Exploits / Remote MEDICAL
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
Smiths Medical Medfusion 4000 DHCP Denial of Service Buffer Overflow issue was discovered in Smiths Medical Medfusion 4000 Wireless Syringe Infusion Pump, Version 1.1, 1.5, and 1.6. A third-party component used in the pump does not verify input buffer size prior to copying, leading to a buffer overflow, allowing remote code execution on the target device. The pump receives the potentially malicious input infrequently and under certain conditions, increasing the difficulty of exploitation. Windows Denial of Service / Remote MEDICAL
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
Kaskad Daserver Remote Code Execution Exploit This module exploits a memory corruption to installs an agent into the target host. Windows Exploits / Remote SCADA
Iconics Genesis SCADA HMI Genbroker Server Exploit The Genesis GenBroker service is listening port 38080 and is affected by integer overflow vulnerabilities while handling crafted packets in opcode 0x4b0. NOCVE-9999-47722 Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
ICPDAS EZ Data Logger 0-Day DoS This module causes a Denial of Service in ICPDAS EZ Data Logger. Windows Denial of Service / Remote SCADA
