Sunsetting the Public AttackerKB Platform

Rapid7 is retiring the standalone AttackerKB platform on August 18, consolidating its vulnerability intelligence and exploit analysis into the Rapid7 blog, Vulnerability and Exploit Database, and customer-specific APIs. The company is also ending the community contribution model and public API access to maintain tighter control over data quality and prevent inaccurate or manipulated submissions. Current users will find AttackerKB-style technical write-ups and intelligence through Rapid7's unified ecosystem, with the AttackerKB domain redirecting to the Vulnerability and Exploit Database.

Why it matters: Security practitioners and vulnerability managers who rely on AttackerKB for exploit analysis and vulnerability intelligence need to transition to Rapid7's blog and Vulnerability and Exploit Database by August 18, and organizations using the public API must contact Rapid7 for customer-specific migration guidance.

Sunsetting the Public AttackerKB Platform

Rapid7 will retire the standalone AttackerKB website on August 18, 2026, consolidating its vulnerability intelligence and exploit analysis into the Rapid7 blog, Vulnerability and Exploit Database, and customer-specific application programming interface (API) offerings. The public AttackerKB API and community contribution model will be discontinued to maintain data quality and reduce the risk of inaccurate or manipulated vulnerability information. Existing content will remain accessible through redirects and new technical write-ups will continue on the Rapid7 blog with a dedicated tag.

Why it matters: Practitioners relying on the public AttackerKB API or platform must migrate to Rapid7's centralized sources by August 18 or lose access to that intelligence feed; those using the website will be redirected to the Vulnerability and Exploit Database.
