Managing certificates for outbound connections - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's documentation describes how Burp Suite DAST lets users add or remove certificates so the tool knows which external systems to trust, including email or Jira servers, PortSwigger update sources, an internal certificate authority, or individual self-signed certificates. It states that certificates for inbound traffic are managed separately under Enabling TLS, and warns that only certificates from trusted sources should be uploaded.
What you should know: The trust list for outbound connections is configured by hand, one certificate at a time, and the page's only safeguard is the instruction to upload only from trusted sources - so the judgment about what your scanner trusts rests with whoever holds that console.
