SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many penetration testers spend excessive time manually identifying services, matching them to vulnerable CVEs, and gathering exploit code. This skill streamlines that process into a repeatable workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Service Identification: Automated nmap and whatweb scans to fingerprint target services.
  • CVE Matching: Lookup of high‑risk CVEs based on service and version, with built‑in database.
  • POC Retrieval & Automation: Pull exploit code via searchsploit or GitHub and execute it against the target.
    Use case: During a CTF or red‑team engagement, quickly turn a list of hosts into exploited footholds by running the skill.

Quick Start

Ask the cve-exploitation skill to scan target 10.0.0.5, match CVEs, and automatically attempt relevant exploits.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate CVE discovery and exploitation during a penetration test?

To automate CVE discovery and exploitation, you can use this skill to run nmap and whatweb scans for service fingerprinting, lookup matching CVEs, and automatically execute relevant exploits retrieved via searchsploit against the target hosts.

How does automated CVE matching work from an nmap scan?

Automated CVE matching works by taking nmap and whatweb service fingerprinting results, looking up high-risk CVEs based on the identified service and version, and gathering corresponding exploit code for execution.

Can I use searchsploit to automatically retrieve and execute exploit code for discovered vulnerabilities?

Yes, you can use searchsploit within this skill to automatically pull exploit code based on matched CVEs and execute it against the target system to establish a foothold.

Is this CVE exploitation skill suitable for red-team engagements and CTF competitions?

Yes, this skill is designed for red-team engagements and CTF competitions, allowing you to quickly turn a list of enumerated target hosts into exploited footholds through automated vulnerability matching and execution.

What is the best way to find vulnerable CVEs from a list of target hosts and services?

The best way to find vulnerable CVEs from target hosts is to apply an automated workflow that fingerprints services using nmap, queries a built-in CVE database for matching vulnerabilities, and fetches proof-of-concept exploit code.

Do I need nmap and searchsploit installed to perform automated vulnerability exploitation?

Yes, you need nmap and searchsploit installed as prerequisite tools, because this skill relies on them to perform service discovery, fingerprint target systems, and retrieve exploit code for automated execution.
