exploit-db

exploit-db is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mukul975/Threatswarm. It costs 40 tokens per session (3,179 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference skill for Exploit-DB and searchsploit, a command-line search tool for publicly documented security exploits. It also covers mappings to Metasploit modules and a quick guide to exploit reliability and severity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search by software, title, CVE, operating system, or network-scan output; copy exploit references; update the database; and relate entries to Metasploit modules.
Why use it?
It helps security work use consistent searches and distinguish documented proof-of-concept code from more reliable, weaponized exploits.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

exploit-db scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
