DPoP Authenticator

Summary: PortSwigger's BApp Store lists a Burp extension called DPoP Authenticator, authored by Serhat Cicek at version 1.0, that dynamically adds or updates the DPoP (Demonstrating Proof of Possession) HTTP header on outgoing requests based on configured criteria. The listing was last updated 16 January 2026, and PortSwigger states that extensions are written by third-party users of Burp and come with no warranty as to quality or usefulness.

Bottom line: DPoP is a control meant to bind tokens to a client's own key, and a tool that injects those headers into arbitrary outgoing requests gives testers a direct way to probe whether your implementation actually enforces that binding. The extension is third-party code with no warranty from PortSwigger, so anyone installing it is trusting an outside author inside their testing environment.
