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
ABB MicroSCADA Wserver Buffer Overflow Exploit This vulnerability is a buffer overflow and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of ABB MicroSCADA Wserver without authentication.



The specific flaw exists within the wserver.exe component which listens on TCP port 12221. This component performs insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data which results in stack buffer ovreflow. 		NOCVE-9999-61094 Windows Exploits / Remote Impact Professional
IOServer Directory Traversal Vulnerability This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in IOServer CVE-2012-4680 Windows Exploits / Remote SCADA
Microsoft Windows Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service DoS (MS13-079) This module exploits a vulnerability in "Microsoft Windows Active Directory Lightweight Directory" service by sending UDP requests to the LDAP port (usually 389) and then sending ICMP error messages producing a LDAP Stop Responding behavior. CVE-2013-3868 Windows Denial of Service / Remote Impact Professional
Foscam Camera tmpfs File Disclosure Exploit This module exploits a file disclosure vulnerability on Foscam IP cameras. Due to improper access restrictions, it is possible for a remote unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from the /tmpfs/ and /log/ directories. This can be exploited to obtain valuable information such as access credentials, Wi-Fi configuration and other sensitive information in plain text. CVE-2013-2574 Exploits / Remote Impact Professional

Schneider Electric U.Motion Builder 1.3.4 Unauthenticated Command Injection The script track_import_export.php is vulnerable to an unauthenticated
command injection vulnerability when user-supplied input to the HTTP GET/POST
parameter object_id is processed by the web application. Since the application
does not properly validate and sanitize this parameter, it is possible to inject
arbitrary commands into a PHP exec call. This is a bypass to the fix implemented
for CVE-2018-7765. 		CVE-2018-7765 Exploits / Remote SCADA
