[Openvas-plugins] WMI to query Windows in plugin gb_windows_cpe_detect.nasl

[Sebastien Aucouturier]

Hi team,

in the plugin gb_windows_cpe_detect.nasl

the wmi connection is disabled: code is commented

#WMI Part deactivated until Mantis 52166 is fixed.
#handle = wmi_connect(host:host, username:usrname, password:passwd);
#handlereg = wmi_connect_reg(host:host, username:usrname, password:passwd);


what is this reference to Mantis 52166 bug ? where to get more info and
news about the fix ?

Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately there is currently nothing to tell here from NVT/Plugin
side beside that some WMI methods like wmi_reg_enum_value() from
openvas-smb are failing due to unknown reasons.

You will notice this when getting entries like:

It seems this got fixed now with the following two PR which will should
be part of one of the upcoming OpenVAS/GVM releases:

https://github.com/greenbone/openvas-smb/pull/17
https://github.com/greenbone/openvas-scanner/pull/130
