    @property
    def cve_id(self) -> str:
        return "CVE-XXXX-YYYY"
    
    @property
    def name(self) -> str:
        return "My Exploit Name"
    
    def exploit(self) -> ExploitResult:
        # Implement exploit logic
        try:
            # Your code here
            if vulnerable:
                return ExploitResult(
                    success=True,
                    cve=self.cve_id,
                    title=self.name,
                    description="Success description",
                    evidence="Captured evidence",
                    severity="CRITICAL"
                )
        except:
            pass
        
        return ExploitResult(
            success=False,
            cve=self.cve_id,
            title=self.name,
            description="Not vulnerable",
