OVERVIEW  (MANDATORY)
DESCRIPTION (MANDATORY)

What would be the difference between these two?
Or in other words: How would you specify content
for these?


as example :  12planet_chat_server_xss.nasl

now :

 desc = "
Synopsis :

The remote host contains a CGI which is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting
issue.

Description :

The remote host is using 12Planet Chat Server.

There is a bug in this software which makes it vulnerable to cross site
scripting attacks.

An attacker may use this bug to steal the credentials of the legitimate users
of this site.

Solution :

Upgrade to the newest version of this software";

 script_description(desc);


can become :

script_summary("Checks for the presence of an XSS bug in 12Planet Chat Server."); script_overview("The remote host contains a CGI which is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting issue."); script_desc("The remote host is using 12Planet Chat Server. There is a bug in this software which makes it vulnerable to cross site scripting attacks. An attacker may use this bug to steal the credentials of the legitimate users of this site."); script_tag(name:"solution", value:"Upgrade to the newest version of this software");


idea is also to remove extra blank line between 'chapter' and let reporting tools cut line as their own.
do you agree ?



VULNERABLE SYSTEMS (OPTIONAL)
Perhaps name it just "Affected"?

yes, agreed.
