Abstract

This paper proposes an automated LLM-based method to extract and structure vulnerabilities from OpenVAS and Tenable WAS scanner reports, converting unstructured data into a standardized format for risk management. In an evaluation using a report with 34 vulnerabilities, GPT-4.1 and DeepSeek achieved the highest similarity to the baseline (ROUGE-L greater than 0.7). The method demonstrates feasibility in transforming complex reports into usable datasets, enabling effective prioritization and future anonymization of sensitive data.
