Professional / Community 2024.8.5
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional and Community 2024.8.5 as a stable build on Monday, 14 October 2024 at 16:21 UTC. The release fixes a bug where project files were sometimes incorrectly saved to the working directory, so a project previously saved to a specific folder will now default to that folder if it is still accessible, and otherwise to the user home directory.
What you should know: A project file landing in the wrong directory is a quiet way for engagement data to end up somewhere it was not meant to be stored; the fix only restores the prior folder when it is still accessible, so teams should confirm where existing projects will save after upgrading.
