Cypher Injection Scanner

Summary: A Burp Suite extension called Cypher Injection Scanner, authored by Morkin1792 and last updated 26 August 2021, detects Cypher code injection in applications using Neo4j databases. Its active scanner sends payloads designed to trigger requests to the Burp Collaborator Client, while its passive scanner alerts when the application returns descriptive errors.

Why it matters: Cypher injection targets the graph database layer, and this extension's passive detection depends on an application leaking descriptive errors - so an app that suppresses error detail gives you no alert at all.
