PDF Metadata
Summary: PortSwigger's BApp Store lists a third-party Burp extension, authored by Veit Hailperin, that adds a passive Scanner check for metadata in PDF files. Version 0.5 requires Jython 2.7, was last updated on 20 April 2017, and carries an overall system impact rating of Low.
What you should know: The check has sat unupdated since April 2017, and PortSwigger states plainly that extensions are written by third-party users and come with no warranty of quality or usefulness - so any metadata findings it produces rest on code nobody has refreshed in years.
