There are multiple variants of exploits, a common term is 'remote exploit', which refers to an exploit that can take advantage of a security vulnerability remotely, over a network. A 'local exploit' on the other hand can only increase privileges on a system where some kind of local access is already permitted.
Normally a single exploit can only take advantage of a specific software vulnerability. Often, as such an exploit is published, the vulnerability is fixed and the exploit becomes obsolete for newer versions of the software.
