Summary

  • Adds expdb/ as a git submodule pointing to the Exploit-DB mirror maintained at RndU53r/expdb.
  • Updates README.md with repository structure, submodule clone instructions, and upstream link.

Why submodule (not copy/subtree)

The expdb mirror is ~GB-scale (full Exploit-DB tree + external/ CVE collections). A submodule keeps the main repo lightweight while giving researchers a pinned, reproducible reference to the full exploit archive.

Usage

# Fresh clone with submodule
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/SecuritySilverbacks/sap-security-research.git

# Existing clone
git submodule update --init --recursive

See expdb/README.md for SearchSploit usage and external/ CVE source details.

Test plan

  • Submodule added at expdb/https://github.com/RndU53r/expdb.git
  • .gitmodules committed
  • README documents structure and clone workflow
  • Maintainer confirms submodule URL and update policy are acceptable

Made with Cursor

Links the full Exploit-DB mirror (RndU53r/expdb) as a submodule so
researchers can cross-reference public PoCs without bloating the main
repo. README updated with clone instructions and structure docs.
