The OVAL Repository is the central meeting place for the OVAL Community to discuss, analyze, store, and disseminate OVAL definitions. OVAL definitions are standardized, machine-readable tests written in the Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language that check computer systems for the presence of software vulnerabilities, configuration issues, programs, and patches. OVAL definitions, which are free to use and implement in information security products and services, are written in Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) and are available for most major platforms. See the OVAL Repository main page to review or download all OVAL definitions posted to date.
