From the below image we can see that the scanner found something stating “ possible vulnerable path found”. whatever we did or surfed, it got captured and was shared with the burp scanner.īut what about the Issue Activities, let’s explore it and check what it is having for us.Īs soon as the extend window opens, we’ll sort its contents with the Issue type. From the below image, we can see that the burp scanner was on Live Audit, i.e. As soon as the web-page boots up, we’ll roam around in order to generate some traffic.Įnough roaming!! Let’s get back to our burp suite monitor and will switch to the dashboard tab there.
Once done with the configuration, we’ll thus turn our browser’s proxy and will surf. Although flagging this feature might give us some false positives as it will take keywords from the vulnerable application and then match them with the keywords present at the ’s database. Let’s unflag the checkbox of Scope Only and hit the Use scan by location paths option. But we’ll enhance its scanning capabilities by customizing it over into the options tab. However, for this section, we’ll be working without the API key. Login and fill the input fields to generate the API key. section and register for an API key for free.Īs soon as we hit the button, we got redirected to the user info page. But if you want to embed your own key, you can hit the get token. However, the rule book for the scanning part had been loaded by default, thereby we just need to set the API key.Īlthough this plugin is good to go without the API key value, there it will simply try to match the vulnerable path with the database. Navigating to the plugin’s window, over at the Scan Rules tab, we’re having two segregated sections one for the API and other for the Scan Rules.
#Burp software vulnerability scanner install
Let’s install the plugin by navigating to the BApp Store at the Extender tab and there we’ll try to find Software Vulnerability Scanner.Īs soon as we find that, we’ll tune over to the right section and will hit the Install button to make it a part of the Burp Scanner.Īnd within a few minutes, we’ll get its tab positioned into the top panel as “Software Vulnerability Scanner”, let’s explore if first. Pretty complex scenarios, right!! Follow up with the article and you’ll find them the simplest.
It checks the vulnerable paths with the database and identifies whether any exploit can be used against that path or not. It identifies the vulnerable software with the fingerprints or the CPE (Common Platform Enumeration). In order to do so, this plugin follows either of the two – The Software Vulnerability Scanner is one of the most popular burp extensions that scans the application in order to determine vulnerabilities in the software versions using the API.īut how this plugin detects the vulnerable software versions? So, let’s initiate by exploring, what this burp extension is? Not yet, then over with this extension, you’ll get a better understanding of the exploit’s database or its scanning API keys and the other features that the web-application carries within. Have you ever surfed to identify the vulnerabilities founded by the different security researchers? So, let’s explore the two most popular extensions, one that checks the version from its exploits database and the other simply checks for the outdated JavaScript libraries. Thereby in order to dig the web-application at its maximum depth, burp suite offers some amazing plugins that scans the embedded software and the add-on libraries and then further drop out the one that have the outdated version or their versions are vulnerable to some specific exploits. But, what about the software or the add-ons library versions that were embedded within the application’s frameworks, how we could identify them that they are vulnerable or not. Over in all of our previous articles whatever scanner or the plugin we’ve used, they all dump almost the same results i.e., they basically identify and guide us about the existing vulnerabilities majorly on the basis of the OWASP top 10. Dumping the Outdated JavaScript Libraries. So, today in this article we won’t be focusing on any specific vulnerability, rather we’ll follow up with some nice burp extensions that will help us to identify the vulnerable versions of the software or the libraries installed within an application. But what, if the installed features or the plugins themselves are vulnerable? A dynamic web-application carries a lot within itself, whether it’s about JavaScript libraries, third-party features, functional plugins and many more. Not only the fronted we see or the backend we don’t, are responsible to make an application be vulnerable.
