Question: For anyone in the community, this is my first time using Openvas. I ran the scans and i am getting severe vulnerability in the scan report. The host mentioned in the scan is a windows host. Based on the error, do i need to update GVM_Libs on Openvas host or does that have to be done on a Windows server? because i tried checking Windows server for GVM_Lib and could not find it. I would really appreciate if someone in the community point me in the right direction
Below is the snapshot of the error
