Command Injection Attacker
Summary: PortSwigger's BApp Store lists a Burp Suite extension called Command Injection Attacker, a customizable payload generator for detecting OS command injection flaws during dynamic testing conducted without access to source code or the filesystem. The extension, authored by Julian Horoszkiewicz of Secarma Ltd at version 2.0 and last updated 27 June 2018, was built to reach non-trivial OS command injection cases that stay undetected by generally known tools and payload sets.
What you should know: The extension's own premise is that standard payload sets miss non-trivial OS command injection cases, and this tool has sat at version 2.0 since June 2018 - so any assumption that your existing scanner coverage catches those cases rests on a nearly decade-old third-party add-on that PortSwigger explicitly warrants no quality or usefulness for.
