About pyexploitdb

pyexploitdb builds and maintains local CVE↔EDB indexes from the official exploit-db repository with a focus on resilience and observability.

Highlights

  • Validates on-disk caches and normalises mappings to keep indexes trustworthy.
  • Rebuilds quickly by parsing files_exploits.csv first and only scraping missing CVEs with bounded concurrency.
  • Ships with a practical smoke-test suite (python -m tests.smoke_test) so releases can be verified before publishing.

Upcoming features

CPE database, indexes and mappings

Installation

pip install pyexploitdb

Note: This assumes pip is for your python3 environment. Use pip3 if pip is for your python2 environment.

Example Usage

from pyexploitdb import PyExploitDb
exploit_db = PyExploitDb()
exploit_db.debug = False
exploit_db.open_file()
results = exploit_db.search_cve("CVE-2018-14592")
for exploit in results:
    print(f"{exploit['id']} -> {exploit['file']}")

search_cve returns a list of dictionaries (one per matching exploit). The library raises pyexploitdb.PyExploitDbError when required data is missing or network/git operations fail after retrying.

To rebuild the CVE caches from scratch without hammering exploit-db, metadata is extracted from files_exploits.csv first and any missing CVEs fall back to concurrent (throttled) scraping:

from pyexploitdb import PyExploitDb

with PyExploitDb() as exploit_db:
    exploit_db.update_db(workers=6)  # adjust workers to control parallel HTTP fetches

Tests

Run the practical smoke tests before publishing to PyPI:

python -m tests.smoke_test

Example debug/verbose output
