Professional 1.6.06

Summary: Burp Suite Professional 1.6.06, released Monday, 20 October 2014, adds Scanner engine checks that automatically report new issue types including Perl, PHP, Ruby and server-side JavaScript code injection, file path manipulation, serialized objects in HTTP messages, and several DOM-based issues such as client-side JSON and XPath injection, document domain manipulation, link manipulation and DOM data manipulation. The release also improves scanning logic for existing checks and fixes bugs affecting the skip-server-side-injection-tests option, session handling rules with the sessions tracer, auto-generation of CA-signed per-host SSL certificates, and startup hangs when reloading certain extensions.

Why it matters: The new checks cover injection and DOM-based classes that scanners often missed, so teams relying on older Burp versions were shipping code with those gaps unreported.
