Professional / Community 2024.6.5
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional and Community 2024.6.5 on 7 August 2024, updating the default Intruder payload list to include email splitting attacks. The release points to the white paper "Splitting the Email Atom: Exploiting Parsers to Bypass Access Controls" by Gareth Heyes of PortSwigger Research for detail on email parsing discrepancies and how they can be exploited.
Key Takeaway: Email splitting attacks are now a default payload in a widely used scanner, which means testers will find parser discrepancies that bypass access controls - and attackers can reach the same flaws in any application that parses email addresses.
