Gitleaks Integration
Summary: A third-party Burp Suite extension called Gitleaks Integration, authored by Arqsz and at version 0.7.1, adds Gitleaks-based secret detection to Burp Scanner's passive scanning workflow. It scans HTTP responses for hardcoded secrets such as API keys, tokens, and passwords using the official Gitleaks rule set, without requiring external binaries or processes.
What you should know: Hardcoded API keys, tokens, and passwords in HTTP responses are exactly the kind of finding that turns a routine scan into an incident, and this extension puts that check inside the passive workflow rather than a separate tool. PortSwigger states it makes no warranty about third-party extensions' quality or usefulness, so the detection is only as good as the rule set and the reviewer behind it.
