Authz

Summary: PortSwigger's BApp Store lists an extension called Authz, authored by Wuntee at version 0.0.9, described as a tool to help test for authorization vulnerabilities. The listing was last updated on 01 July 2014 and rates its overall system impact as Low, with PortSwigger noting that extensions are written by third-party Burp users and carry no warranty of quality or usefulness.

Key Takeaway: The authorization-testing tooling many teams still reach for was last updated in 2014, and it ships with an explicit no-warranty disclaimer from the vendor - so the coverage of your access-control testing rests on code nobody has refreshed in over a decade.
