One option might be to use a Perl script I wrote a couple of years ago, describe-nessus-plugin. It parses the script description in NASL plugins and outputs selected fields such as script id, CVE id, risk factor, etc. I've only used it on *nix systems, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on Windows too as long as you have the requisite modules (in particular, Text::Balanced and Text::Wrap). It's available at: http://www.tifaware.com/perl/describe-nessus-plugin/ You could then use describe-nessus-plugin in another script that iterates over the NASL plugins in a given directory and produces the table with the information you're interested in.
