Broken Link Hijacking
Summary: This PortSwigger BApp Store listing describes a Burp Suite extension by Arbazz Hussain, version 1.0, last updated 23 July 2019, that passively scans in-scope responses and offers settings for whitelisted status codes, regex whitelist patterns, and a default thread count of 15. PortSwigger notes the extension is written by a third party and makes no warranty about its quality or usefulness.
Bottom line: The tooling your testers install into Burp is third-party code that PortSwigger explicitly does not vouch for, and this one has sat unupdated since July 2019 - so the scanner extension itself becomes part of the attack surface you are trying to measure.
