Export to Word

When passing the --format docx parameter, the tool will export reports in Word (docx) format.

This report contains a summary sheet, table of contents, and a sheet per vulnerability containing vulnerability details and a list of affected hosts.

Examples

Create Word report from 1 OpenVAS XML report using default settings

openvasreporting -i openvasreport.xml -f docx

Create Word report from multiple OpenVAS XML report using default settings

openvasreporting -i *.xml -f docx
# OR
openvasreporting -i openvasreport.xml -i openvasreport1.xml -i openvasreport2.xml [-i ...] -f docx

Create Word report from 1 OpenVAS XML report, reporting only severity level high and up

openvasreporting -i openvasreport.xml -o openvas_report -f docx -l h

Create Word report using a different template

openvasreporting -i openvasreport.xml -o openvas_report -f docx -t /home/user/myOpenvasTemplate.docx

The custom template document must contain a definition for the following styles:

  • Title (default)

  • Heading 1 (default)

  • Heading 4 (default)

  • OV-H1toc (custom format for Heading 1, included in Table of Contents)

  • OV-H2toc (custom format for Heading 2, included in Table of Contents)

  • OV-Finding (custom format for finding titles, included in Table of Contents)

To modify these styles, use the style selector in your prefered document editor (e.g. MS Office Word, LibreOffice, ...). See also this issue on GitHub.
