Professional 1.6.21
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 1.6.21 on 7 July 2015, rewriting the description and remediation text for all Scanner issues. The release also added an in-UI view of all issue definitions under Scanner / Issue definitions, including online references where applicable and a type index field that maps Burp issues to other vulnerability taxonomies via XML output and the API.
What's compelling: The type index field is the hook for anyone building integrations between Burp and other security tools: it is the number that lets Burp's findings be mapped to other web vulnerability taxonomies, so tooling built on it depends on that mapping staying consistent.
