vdb-exploits-search
Search for exploited vulnerabilities across all packages in the Vulnetix VDB with filtering and sorting.
The vdb-exploits-search command searches for vulnerabilities with known exploits across the entire Vulnetix Vulnerability Database. Use it to discover actively exploited vulnerabilities filtered by ecosystem, severity, exploit source, and more.
Invocation
/vulnetix:vdb-exploits-search [flags]
Underlying Command
vulnetix vdb exploits search $ARGUMENTS -o json
Flags
| Flag | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
--ecosystem | string | – | Filter by package ecosystem (npm, pypi, maven, go, cargo, nuget, rubygems, etc.) |
--source | string | – | Filter by exploit source: exploitdb, metasploit, nuclei, vulncheck-xdb, crowdsec, github, poc |
--severity | string | – | Filter by CVSS severity: CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW |
--in-kev | bool | false | Only show exploits in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog |
--min-epss | float | – | Minimum EPSS score threshold (0.0-1.0) |
-q | string | – | Free-text search query (CVE ID, title, description) |
--sort | string | recent | Sort order: recent, epss, severity, maturity |
--limit | int | 100 | Maximum results per page (1-100) |
--offset | int | 0 | Pagination offset |
-o, --output | string | pretty | Output format: json or pretty |
Output
The command parses the JSON response and presents a table of results including:
- CVE ID
- Severity
- EPSS score
- Exploitation maturity level
- Exploit source counts
- CISA KEV status
- Fix availability
Total count and pagination info are displayed alongside the results.
Examples
Find critical exploits in the npm ecosystem:
/vulnetix:vdb-exploits-search --ecosystem npm --severity CRITICAL
Find high-EPSS vulnerabilities in CISA KEV:
/vulnetix:vdb-exploits-search --in-kev --min-epss 0.7 --sort epss
Find Metasploit modules targeting Maven packages:
/vulnetix:vdb-exploits-search --source metasploit --ecosystem maven
Free-text search for RCE exploits:
/vulnetix:vdb-exploits-search -q "remote code execution" --limit 20
Sort by exploit maturity for Python packages:
/vulnetix:vdb-exploits-search --sort maturity --ecosystem pypi
