Integrating Burp Suite DAST with Git Lab - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger documents how to link Burp Suite DAST to GitLab so scans can raise GitLab issues, either manually or automatically, using a dedicated GitLab user added as a Reporter to selected projects and an impersonation token. The guide notes that the latest GitLab version prefixes personal access tokens, pushing them past Burp Suite DAST's 20-character limit, and recommends starting with high severity and confidence thresholds before lowering them.
Bottom line: Automatic issue creation at low thresholds can flood your GitLab backlog, which is why PortSwigger advises starting high and lowering only after you see how many issues your scans actually raise.
