JS Miner
Summary: JS Miner is a Burp Suite extension, version 1.16 and last updated 20 July 2023, that searches static JavaScript and JSON files for interesting information during the initial recon phase of a web application assessment. It runs passive scans automatically and requires manual invocation for active scans, and its author notes it is expected to produce false positives and does not replace manual review.
Why it matters: The tool's own documentation states it produces false positives and cannot substitute for manual analysis, so a security team treating its output as findings rather than leads will spend review time on noise. PortSwigger also states it makes no warranty about the quality or usefulness of third-party extensions like this one.
