MBSA The catalog file is damaged or an invalid catalog

Question

I downloaded August 2020 release of wsusscn2.cab file size 944,928KB and when I ran the MBSA tool, error was reported "The catalog file is damaged or an invalid catalog". I tried on various PCs and the same results were reported. Will there be another release of the cab file this month to fix this issue?

"

Our problem is scanning offline using MBSA as well. I assume it is configured to check the cab file using SHA-1. As the cab file doesn't include SHA-1 that would be why we are getting the error.

As MBSA is no longer supported by Microsoft it might be time to look for a new solution.

Using the script works on older systems and using WUA on Windows 10 works to, well for us."
