Vulnerability ID instead of name listed in the results

[clearwater]

I’ve got a question. I’m running Openvas/Greenbone on Kali. When a scan runs and completes in the report under the vulnerability column it shows the vulnerability ID number like 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.108114. But it doesn’t show the name of the vulnerability without selecting the ID. Why is the vulnerability name not being displayed instead of the vulnerability ID number in the results? To look through 1k findings one item at a time will be a real pain to find out what the results are.

I just had to re-run openvasmd --rebuild. Now the vulnerability names are coming in instead of the OID number for the vulnerability.

Something similar has been discussed in various other existing threads:

Vulnerability reports only showing OIDs - command line to show database update status?

How many days does it take for the internal database to update? Whenever I run scans, I only see vulnerability IDs instead of text? This is happening on two separate installations. Perhaps a way to view the database status? Thanks!

Vulnerability names display as OID's only

greetings, fresh install of gsm-ce-4.2.20 from the ISO, setup as a VM under ESXi. once i complete the scan of a host and check the results, the “Vulnerability” column only displays the OID’s and not the name. similarly if I create a PDF report of this scan, every item is listed as an OID and not a meaningful name. example: [image] if i drill down on the first item i can see the full name Result: SSL/TLS: Report Vulnerable Cipher Suites for HTTPS but in the PDF reports all i get is the OID…

Reports showing Vulnerabilities by OIDs instead of names

Hi! I´m running Openvas9 on a RHEL7 machine. All of my scans are showing vulnerabilities by OIDs instead of names. I´ve tried to run “openvasmd --update” as suggested in the topic “Vulnerability appears with NVT references instead of human friendly / After upgrade: Scans showing no/0 results” but no success. How can I track this problem? Thanks in advance, Carlos.

Ability to modify report format for Greenbone Community Edition (version 4.2.24)

Hi there, first time posting here on the Greenbone Community forum! I’ve recently installed and configured the Community Edition of Greenbone Security Manager via Hyper-V, and I’ve configured a task to run a custom vulnerability scan against a number of our targets within the corporate network. I noticed that the vulnerability names show up as OID but not the actual text. When I attempt to generate the results in report format, the OID shows up as the vulnerability name but not the name itself. …
