We scan GitHub repositories to detect new proof-of-concept exploits. Following list is a collection of public exploits and proof-of-concepts, which have been published on GitHub (sorted by the most recently updated).

This is a list of artifacts from the GitHub Advisory Database where the corresponding JSON files are missing CVE identifiers, despite the fact that these artifacts are listed in the NVD (National Vulnerability Database). I cross-referenced the data, retrieved the missing CVEs, and compiled everything into a list.
