Key enhancements in agent distribution, validation, and conditional exposure underpin streamlined client access and safer deployments; compatibility and maintainability improvements support future growth.

June 2025 monthly summary for greenbone/gvmd focusing on delivering scalable, secure, and observable GVMD capabilities. Key architectural changes were implemented to optimize resource usage and maintainability, alongside improvements to operator visibility and security by gating agent-related features and validating installers.

May 2025 GVMD monthly summary: Delivered core agent installer lifecycle enhancements, enriched installer inventory data, and strengthen build and code quality to boost reliability and developer velocity. Key features include deletion/restoration of agent installers with GMP_EMPTY_TRASHCAN support, enrichment of get_agent_installers details with file validity, last_update, and CPEs (plus XML example corrections and minor GMP/filters tweaks), and GMP documentation with a new filter type for agent installers. Also completed build system enhancements (CMake object libraries and variable-driven lists) and extensive refactoring moving resources, settings, commands, GET iterators, and OSP handling into dedicated manage_* modules. Included targeted fixes for headers (include paths) and secinfo_feed_version_status. These changes improve data accuracy, agent lifecycle management, and maintainability, delivering tangible business value through automation, clearer guidance, and scalable architecture.

April 2025 GVMD monthly highlights focused on stability, data integrity, and automation: stabilized configuration and data pipelines, improved scanner/trash handling, ensured accurate usage_type output, hardened relay-related logic, and expanded GMP automation with installer retrieval and a version upgrade. These changes reduce runtime errors, prevent false indicators in sync processes, and enable automated agent deployment and alignment with newer GMP capabilities.

March 2025 monthly summary for greenbone/gvmd: Implemented relay-based scanner configuration and delivered stability fixes to core parsing and CVE config handling, enhancing reliability, deployment clarity, and OSP scanner performance. The work reduces error-prone configuration paths and provides clearer operational controls for scanner relays.

February 2025 recap: Delivered high-impact data ingestion and maintenance improvements across gvmd, gsa, and gvm-libs. Implemented bulk-load data pipelines using SQL COPY for CPE and CVE data, boosting throughput and reliability of vulnerability data pipelines. Added --secinfo-fast_init to accelerate CVE loading with larger batch handling. Refactored timeout preferences for stability and default alignment. Realigned CODEOWNERS to clarify ownership and improve review workflow. Completed code cleanup to improve readability and onboarding. Business value: faster updates, more predictable performance, clearer governance, and reduced operational risk.

January 2025: Implemented substantial CVE scanning and CPE processing enhancements in gvmd and extended CPE utilities in gvm-libs. Modernized CI/CD workflow for CodeQL analysis with a gvm-libs base image and streamlined dependency installation. Added unit tests and alignment to gvm-libs 22.17 for stability and forward compatibility. Delivered reliability fixes in the affected-products pipeline and improved visibility/logging to support faster remediation.

December 2024 monthly summary for gvmd and gvm-libs focused on delivering authentication enhancements, stabilizing data schemas and feeds, and improving compatibility with legacy environments. Key outcomes include enabling Kerberos-based target authentication for the OpenVAS Scanner framework, tightening credential handling with robust error paths, fixing documentation and data schema issues, and improving build compatibility for older images. The month also reduced risk of data processing crashes by making CVE feeds more robust in the face of missing metrics and by aligning SCAP data processing with the correct schema references.
