penetration is trying to get into a lan or client (ie. threw a open port) vulnerability is trying to find out if there is anything you can get into (trying to find if there are any open ports)
Vulnerability scanning just looks to see how the computer or network is set up. It checks for registry settings, patch versions, installed services and so forth. From this, the system can be grades according to what the expected configuration would be for a properly secured machine. Penetration testing takes this one step further and seeks to exploit the vulnerabilities to gain greater access to the system, exfiltrate data, plant malware, and in general "penetrate" the system. Penetration testers usually establish their "rules of engagement" with the system owner before starting a penetration test. The rules may range from seeing if they can get in all the way up to completely compromising and "owning" the system and all the devices on it.
pen testing is to try and gain access. vulnerability scan is to detect flaws that could be exploited that also include penetration vulnerabilities.but what i think you trying to hear is that vulnerabilities differ because they include denial of service or making something not work if exploited

VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing) is a cybersecurity process that is used to evaluate the level of security of an organization’s entire IT infrastructure. Vulnerability scanning and pen testing are part of it to identify and eliminate threats on the networks. WAPT (Web Application Penetration Testing) is a speciality in the security assessment area to find vulnerabilities in web applications. Web Applications are almost prime targets for hackers and WAPT seeks.
Vulnerability testing identifies and lists potential security flaws in systems, while penetration testing goes a step further by actively exploiting those flaws to measure real-world risk. Firms like SafeAeon offer both services, scanning for weak points and safely simulating attacks to validate security defenses.
