Description
I encountered an encoding error when opening the files_exploits.csv. When opening the current up-to-date csv from the ExploitDB Repo (Commit [cbe784b0 ](https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb/-/commit/cbe784b08721bfff9f64fbf8ae7401b9a6261666) from 09.09.2023), I got an UnicodeDecodeError `'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 3767: character maps to `.
Solution was to change main.py, line 33 to
`with open(pdir + "/exploitdb/files_exploits.csv", encoding="utf8") as files:`
If the encoding variable was not left out intentionally, maybe add this to the repo? If it was left out intentionally, you can close the issue :)
