DAST 2026.8.1

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite DAST version 2026.8.1 as a stable release on Thursday, 13 August 2026 at 14:51 UTC, available as a Helm chart, Linux installer (x64), scanner and server component updaters, and Windows installer (x64). The release notes state it includes performance and logging improvements.
Why it matters: This is a maintenance release for the enterprise dynamic scanner, so the stake is operational: teams running DAST in CI need to validate the scanner and server component updaters against their pipelines before the performance and logging changes reach production scanning.
