The Vulners team has released an updated version of Getsploit. The utility allows you to search for public exploits in the Vulners.com database. It supports both an online mode (search queries are executed on the Vulners server) and a fully offline mode (exploit data from Vulners is downloaded to a local SQLite FTS5 index, which is then used for subsequent searches). I find the second option particularly interesting and useful. 😉 The data can be downloaded with a single command, getsploit --update, and the resulting database is ~1.7 GB in size.

You can then search for exploits locally, either by CVE or using full-text search:

$ getsploit --local CVE-2024-3094
$ getsploit --local "wordpress 4.7 remote code execution"

As a result, you get information about the exploits in the following format: ID, Title, and URL on the Vulners website.

If you use the "--mirror" option, the full text of the found exploits will be saved to separate files. This works with all Vulners exploit databases except githubexploit and gitee.

Why would you want to search for exploits in the first place? This can be very useful for enriching vulnerability data in your VM solution and, consequently, for better prioritization. It can also be quite useful for red teamers to keep track of new exploitation tools as they emerge. 😉

How much does it cost? Each getsploit update uses 10 credits. According to the pricing, the free plan currently includes 100 credits per month. So, if you update the exploit data once every 3 days, you can use it completely free of charge. 🆓 For $600, you can get 600 credits per month, which is enough to update getsploit roughly twice a day.
