Nessus Loader
Summary: The Nessus Loader is a Burp Suite extension, authored by Andrew Orr and listed at version 1.0.1, that parses a Nessus scan XML file to detect web servers and adds any discovered servers to the site map. The listing notes that these servers may not appear under the default filter, for example when a web server returns a 401 response, and that the extension was last updated on 02 April 2019 with an overall system impact rated Low.
Why it matters: The extension's own listing warns that servers it adds to the site map can be hidden by the default filter, so a tester working from a Nessus import may never see hosts that returned a 401 - a gap that sits in the tooling rather than in the target.
