See how openvas compares to other vendors in security performance
The email function in managesql.c in OpenVAS Manager 1.0.x through 1.0.3 and 2.0.x through 2.0rc2 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via the (1) To or (2) From e-mail address in an OMP request to the Greenbone Security Assistant (GSA).
OpenVAS Manager v2.0.3 allows plugin remote code execution.
The sendtosourcefire function in managesql.c in OpenVAS Manager 3.x before 3.0.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the (1) IP address or (2) port number field in an OMP request.
OpenVAS Administrator 1.2 before 1.2.2 and 1.3 before 1.3.2 allows remote attackers to bypass the OAP authentication restrictions and execute OAP commands via a crafted OAP request for version information, which causes the state to be set to CLIENTAUTHENTIC.
OpenVAS Manager 3.0 before 3.0.7 and 4.0 before 4.0.4 allows remote attackers to bypass the OMP authentication restrictions and execute OMP commands via a crafted OMP request for version information, which causes the state to be set to CLIENTAUTHENTIC, as demonstrated by the ompxmlhandleendelement function in omp.c.
SQL injection vulnerability in OpenVAS Manager before 4.0.6 and 5.x before 5.0.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the timezone parameter in a modifyschedule OMP command.
openvas-scanner before 2011-09-11 creates a temporary file insecurely when generating OVAL system characteristics document with the ovaldi integrated tool enabled. A local attacker could use this flaw to conduct symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
