DAST 2026.5.1
Summary: PortSwigger released DAST 2026.5.1 on 21 May 2026, adding the ability to configure a list of hosts that connect directly and bypass the system-level external proxy. The release also fixes bugs affecting self-hosted Windows scanning machines and scope rule configuration.
Bottom line: Previously teams had to choose between routing all traffic through the corporate proxy, which broke internal integrations like GitLab or Jira Data Center, or disabling the proxy entirely, which broke external access for licensing and updates.
