Professional / Community 2021.8.2
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional/Community 2021.8.2 on 24 August 2021, upgrading the embedded Chromium browser to version 92.0.4515.159. The release also fixes a vulnerability, reported through the company's bug bounty program, that could cause Burp Suite to issue requests that ignore its upstream proxy configuration and leak NetNTLM hashes on Windows systems that fail to block outbound SMB.
What you should know: A testing tool that bypasses its own proxy settings can leak NetNTLM hashes from Windows hosts that don't block outbound SMB, turning the scanner itself into the exposure path.
