100% CPU utilization in Burp Suite Pro 2.1.03

Sameer | Last updated: Sep 26, 2019 06:57PM UTC

Burp Suite Pro 2.1.03 keeps causing 100% CPU utilization when running an audit scan (earlier known as scanner). The scan task works for approximitely 2500-3000 requests after which it stops. Stopping the scanner does not cause the CPU utilization to return to normal levels. I have checked this with - all extensions disabled - all other tasks paused

Could you try updating to the latest version of Burp (2.1.04)? Are you using the platform installer version of Burp Suite? Is the application you are testing public facing?
