Python Scripter
Summary: The Python Scripter BApp for Burp Suite, authored by Marcin Wielgoszewski and Mike Cromwell at version 2.1, executes custom Python scripts against each HTTP request and response and supports handling Macro messages. Items placed in the 'state' dictionary persist across requests and responses, and the extension was last updated on 20 May 2022 with an overall estimated system impact rated Low.
Why it matters: This is a third-party extension that PortSwigger states it makes no warranty about for quality or usefulness, and it runs user-supplied Python on every request and response passing through Burp - code that persists state across traffic and has not been updated since May 2022.
