Professional / Community 1.7.06

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional/Community 1.7.06 on 8 September 2016, adding a new scan check for second-order SQL injection vulnerabilities. When Burp observes stored user input being returned in a response, the scanner now runs its SQL injection detection logic with payloads supplied at the input submission point and evidence for a detected vulnerability at the input retrieval point, alongside fixes for a number of minor bugs.

Why it matters: Second-order SQL injection hides the attack at the point of submission and only surfaces where the stored data is later retrieved, so a scanner that tests only the input request would miss it entirely - this release moves detection to the retrieval point where the evidence actually appears.
