Professional / Community 2021.6.1

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional/Community 2021.6.1 on 11 June 2021, adding a remembered preference for pausing tasks on startup and the option to copy text or hex codes from cells in the message editor's hex view. The release also updated Burp Suite's embedded browser to Chromium version 91.0.4472.101, which fixes several security issues, one of which Google classified as critical, and addressed several minor bugs.

Bottom line: The embedded browser in this security tool was running a Chromium build with a flaw Google rated critical, so the same scanner teams rely on to find weaknesses carried one of its own until this update.
