About Greenbone Vulnerability Manager

Greenbone GVM adds web application VT scanning and async report export scheduling

Greenbone Vulnerability Manager (gvmd) has shipped four feature releases in roughly six weeks, centering on two themes: web application vulnerability scanning (ZAP VTs loaded into the database as a new 'Web Application VT' subtype) and report export infrastructure (async scheduling, polling, GMP command support). The integration of OWASP ZAP vulnerability tests into GVM's VT database is the most directional change — it extends GVM's scanning coverage beyond network and host vulnerabilities into web application-layer findings.
