Professional / Community 2024.6.4
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 2024.6.4 on 7 August 2024, adding active and passive scan checks that detect OpenAPI definitions during scans and while browsing, using a list of common definition file names and locations. The release also adds support for scanning OpenAPI v2.0 definitions, splits Inspector and message editor into separate settings pages, and upgrades Burp's browser to Chromium 127.
Bottom line: The new checks hunt for publicly available API definitions by common file name and location, so any OpenAPI spec your teams left reachable now surfaces as attack surface in a scan - and the tool that finds it is available to attackers too.
