Professional 1.6.18
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 1.6.18 on Wednesday, 6 May 2015 at 14:33 UTC, updating Burp Scanner to detect blind XML external entity (XXE) injection vulnerabilities. The release also fixed bugs and improved Burp Collaborator server performance, with the metrics page now splitting interaction counters into TCP and UDP interactions.
Why it matters: Blind XXE injection produces no visible output, so a scanner that can find it closes a gap that manual testing and output-based tools miss - and the Collaborator metrics change means TCP and UDP interactions are now counted separately when you review what your testing actually reached.
