Deploy and operate Greenbone/OpenVAS vulnerability management using the python-gvm library over the Greenbone Management Protocol (GMP) to connect via Unix socket or TLS, create scan targets and configs, execute scans, and parse the XML scan reports into actionable findings. Use when automating OpenVAS/GVM scan creation and execution, or programmatically retrieving and parsing vulnerability scan reports.

Implementing Vulnerability Management with Greenbone
Overview
Greenbone Vulnerability Management (GVM) is the open-source framework behind OpenVAS, providing comprehensive vulnerability scanning with over 100,000 Network Vulnerability Tests (NVTs). The python-gvm library provides a Python API to interact with GVM through the Greenbone Management Protocol (GMP), enabling programmatic creation of scan targets, task management, scan execution, and report retrieval. This skill covers connecting to GVM via Unix socket or TLS, authenticating, creating scan configs and targets, launching scans, and parsing XML-based vulnerability reports to produce actionable findings.
When to Use
- When deploying or configuring implementing vulnerability management with greenbone capabilities in your environment
- When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
- When building or improving security architecture for this domain
- When conducting security assessments that require this implementation
Prerequisites
- Greenbone Community Edition or Greenbone Enterprise Appliance installed
- Python 3.9+ with
python-gvm(pip install python-gvm) - GMP access credentials (username/password)
- Network connectivity to GVM daemon (Unix socket or TCP/TLS)
- Understanding of CVSS scoring and vulnerability classification
Steps
- Install python-gvm:
pip install python-gvm - Establish a GMP connection via
UnixSocketConnectionorTLSConnection - Authenticate with
gmp.authenticate(username, password) - Create a target with
gmp.create_target(name, hosts=[...], port_list_id=...) - Create a scan task with
gmp.create_task(name, config_id, target_id, scanner_id) - Start the scan with
gmp.start_task(task_id) - Monitor scan progress with
gmp.get_task(task_id) - Retrieve results with
gmp.get_report(report_id, report_format_id=...) - Parse the XML report for vulnerabilities, CVSS scores, and affected hosts
- Generate a JSON summary report with severity distribution and remediation priorities
Expected Output
A JSON report containing total vulnerabilities found, severity breakdown (critical/high/medium/low), per-host findings with CVE references and CVSS scores, and scan metadata including duration and NVT feed version.

Conduct comprehensive GDPR compliance assessments by evaluating data processing activities against EU Regulation 2016/679, including Article 30 records of processing, lawful basis validation, data subject rights implementation, Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) under Article 35, breach notification procedures, international transfer safeguards (SCCs, adequacy decisions), and technical/organizational measures under Article 32. Use when processing personal data of EU residents, preparing for supervisory authority audits, implementing privacy-by-design for new systems, scoping compliance gaps for M&A due diligence, assessing third-party processors, or responding to data subject access requests at scale. Incorporates 2026 guidance from ICO, EDPB, and post-Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 UK-GDPR considerations.
