Parameter reference for the generic CI/CD driver - Port Swigger

Summary: PortSwigger published parameter reference documentation for the generic, platform-agnostic CI/CD driver that integrates a Burp Suite DAST scan into pipelines, covering required inputs such as the DAST server URL, API key, and site ID, plus optional settings for severity thresholds, confidence levels, permitted issue counts, and a 120-second default response timeout. The docs note that appending the API key to the burp_api_url, as older integrations did, prevents generating scan reports, and that including a site ID triggers a site-driven scan while omitting it triggers a Burp scan.

Why it matters: The driver's defaults decide when a build fails: medium severity, tentative confidence, and zero permitted issues, so a single low-confidence finding can break the pipeline unless a team deliberately tunes these thresholds.
