What's OpenVAS2Report?
The idea is very simple:
# Take an OpenVAS report, in it horrible XML format.
# Convert it into an beautiful Excel, ready to give to your boss.
Why?
I'm security auditor and I really hate to pass OpenVAS XML report into to and Excel document. This is a work for a monkey, not for a human! (Yes: security auditors are humans too. I know, I know. It's incredible)
So I started to develop this project and I thought share it for help other auditors that also hate make a monkey's work.
OpenVAS to in two words
This package are composed by 2 tools:
openvas_to_document: This is the main program. You can use it to generate the Excel file.
openvas_cutter: This is a facility for filter and crop some information from OpenVAS XML report.
as a library: Also, you can use the tool as a library and import them it in your own code. It has BSD license, Feel free to use!
A picture is worth a 1000 words From XML. Using openvas_to_document you can obtain this Excel file:
Future
I'm have not enough time, but in a future, I'll write the module to export the results in a Word.
Bugs and errors
If you find some bugs, please, open a ticket using github issues. And, If you send me a patch I'll be very happy :)
And if you want to help me... A beer may be a great idea :)

Due to the fact that openvas had its life cycle at the end, I needed to install GVM11, however the XML is different from openvas 9 and the script you provided does not work with it. Did you have any plans to make the new version available to us?
Note: You did a great job, helped a lot with scripting.

Replacing "description" with "tags" at openvas_parser.py:185 gets past this issue, but a proper fix will involve some string manipulation (which I might do but I'd want to compare XML and XSLX output from OpenVAS-8 first to ensure I'm retrieving the same data).
this pattern should extraxt correct information (without description)
i'am not sure if this is the correct line that it searches, but using the patten below you can extract the port and protocol information: <port>22/tcp<host>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</host><severity>5.3</severity><threat>Medium</threat></port>
change number of groups to 3(line 100), and remove return of description(line 107)
Hi, I have used the output of openvas_to_reporto to add new sheet called Vulnerability Index with follow colums: impact:critical, high, medium; title, number of host involved, worksheet name; ordered by impact, and inside each impact voice, oredered by number of host involved.
this can help sysop to select which systems to start to work on.
I have made it with vba (i am not a vba programmer) but could be better do inside the tool in python.
