Sounds like openvas isn’t launched by ospd-openvas as root. The docs here has some notes on the root user:

Hi! Thanks for your answer.

Your are right, i already have the visudo with the user correctly write.

gvm ALL = NOPASSWD: /opt/gvm/sbin/openvas

But not updated my secure_path with the correct prefix :frowning:
secure_path=“/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin:/opt/gvm/sbin”

Thanks for your help!!!
