Spring Boot Dump Scanner

Summary: PortSwigger's BApp Store lists a third-party Burp extension called Spring Boot Dump Scanner, version 1.0.0, authored by Mukeshj008 and last updated 10 November 2025. The extension adds a scan check that detects publicly accessible Spring Boot actuator heapdump and threaddump endpoints, which expose memory dumps and thread states.

What you should know: An exposed heapdump hands over application memory contents to anyone who can reach the endpoint, and this check exists because those endpoints are being found in the wild. PortSwigger states it makes no warranty about the quality or usefulness of third-party extensions, so the finding still needs your own validation.
