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
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. 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.

Windows Mailslot (MS06-035) DoS This module exploits a remote vulnerability that could allow an attacker to send a specially crafted SMB message to an affected system causing a denial of service (MS06-035).



WARNING: This is an early release module.



This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released

version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our

customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is

not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality
Windows Denial of Service / Remote Impact Professional
Coship Wireless Routers Unauthenticated Admin Password An issue was discovered on Shenzhen Coship RT3050 4.0.0.40, RT3052 4.0.0.48, RT7620 10.0.0.49, WM3300 5.0.0.54, and WM3300 5.0.0.55 devices. The password reset functionality of the router doesnt have backend validation for the current password and doesn't require any type of authentication. By making a POST request to the apply.cgi file of the router, the attacker can change the admin username and password of the router. Exploits / Remote IOT

tftpd64 TFTP Server Directory Traversal 0day Tftpd64 is a free, lighweight, opensource, IPv6 ready application which includes DHCP, TFTP, DNS, SNTP and Syslog servers as well as a TFTP client.
The TFTP client and server are fully compatible with TFTP option support (tsize, blocksize and timeout), which allow the maximum performance when transferring the data.
Some extended features such as directory facility, security tuning, interface filtering; progress bars and early acknowledgments enhance usefulness and throughput of the TFTP protocol for both client and server.
Exploits / Remote IOT
Cacti Unauthenticated Command Injection The vulnerability resides in the `remote_agent.php` file. This file can be accessed without authentication. This function retrieves the IP address of the client via `get_client_addr` and resolves this IP address to the corresponding hostname via `gethostbyaddr`. After this, it is verified that an entry within the `poller` table exists, where the hostname corresponds to the resolved hostname. If such an entry was found, the function returns `true` and the client is authorized. This authorization can be bypassed due to the implementation of the `get_client_addr` function. Exploits / Remote SCADA
Identity Viewer Protocol Fix This fixes a misspelling in the identity.xml file. Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
Zavio Camera RTSP Video Stream Unauthenticated Access Exploit The RTSP protocol authentication in the Zavio F3105 IP camera is disabled by default. This configuration error allows remote attackers to access the live video stream without being asked for credentials. Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
OpenSSH Channel Exploit Update Exploits an off-by-one bug in channel management code in OpenSSH.

This update excludes the module from automated attacks launched by the "Network Attack and Penetration" feature, since the module requires credentials of a known account on the vulnerable system, and hence won't work with default parameters.
