Session Auth
Summary: PortSwigger's BApp Store lists a Burp Suite extension called Session Auth, authored by Thomas Patzke at version 1.2 and last updated 24 January 2017, that identifies authentication privilege escalation vulnerabilities. The listing rates its estimated system impact as low and notes that extensions are written by third-party Burp users, with PortSwigger making no warranty about their quality or usefulness.
Bottom line: The tool aimed at authentication privilege escalation was last updated in January 2017, so any team still relying on it is testing against authentication logic nearly a decade old while the listing itself carries no quality warranty from PortSwigger.
