Exploits detail the ways in which a vulnerability can be taken advantage of by stealing data or otherwise inflicting harm on an organization. Visibility of the number and types of exploits facilitates the prioritization of vulnerabilities. The Exploits page shows exploits that have been imported into RiskVision.
Exploits are usually mapped to vulnerabilities through CVEs, although the exploit may have additional identifiers it is mapped to, depending on the data source.
Exploits is a grid available in the Vulnerabilities menu, which is visible only if you possess the Threats and Vulnerabilities View permission. This grid contains exploits imported from the Administrator application.
