Professional / Community 2024.7.2

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional and Community version 2024.7.2 on 7 August 2024 at 21:00 UTC, 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.

What's compelling: Email parsing discrepancies are now a default payload in a widely used scanner, which means access-control bypasses built on how systems disagree about an email address are practical enough to ship as standard test input.
