Additional Scanner Checks
Summary: PortSwigger's BApp Store lists a third-party Burp Suite extension by Thomas Patzke, version 1.4, that adds additional passive Scanner checks, each of which can be enabled separately in an extension tab with a default config stored. The listing was last updated 21 December 2018, carries an overall system impact rated Low, and states that PortSwigger makes no warranty about the quality or usefulness of third-party extensions.
Bottom line: This extension has sat unupdated since December 2018, and PortSwigger explicitly disclaims any warranty on third-party BApps - so any team still running it in Burp is trusting scanner logic that no one has refreshed in years.
