Burp 2.0.20beta Issues are not listed in "Issue activity"

Abbadon | Last updated: May 02, 2019 10:39AM UTC

Hi, I have a problem with the active scanner of Burp beta. Often, issues found during scan are shown in "Audit items" -> "Issues" but are not listed in the "Issue activity" tab. For example, in "Audit items" the scan has an item with one issue of high and two of medium severity and two information disclosures. However, in the tab "Issue activity" there is only the finding of high severity and one information disclosure. Filters are disabled. Best regards

Thanks for this report. Would it be possible to send us (support@portswigger.net) screenshots of the Audit items > Issues and the Issue activity tab?

Hi - May I know if this has been fixed already? I think i am experiencing the same. In audit items, an issue per item is displayed as red but in issue activity, there’s none. I used custom scan specific to a vulnerability only.

Hi Can you confirm which version of Burp you are using, please? Also, would you be happy to share some screenshots with us to help describe the issue in a bit more detail? If so, can you send them over to support@portswigger.net, please?

Hello, we are having the same issue. While doing an active scan there is 1 low issue and 3 informational issues showing in "Audit items" -> "Issues" but are not listed in the "Issue activity" tab which is empty. Filters are disabled in Issue Activity. We are running the latest version burpsuite_pro_v2020.11.jar on Mac osx.

I do have this concerning issue, too. The audit items look like this: https://paste.pics/15911d47f228ef7f52dd79a9bf2d5ccc Note the errors due to connection timeouts that occur. As a user I go like "YAY, high impact findings!". However, the issue activities tab looks like this: https://paste.pics/190a9c51d2aabe9b4bbf50766cf3ef8b But the details page looks like this: https://paste.pics/4b748335d92f53efb1a4a225a9c3aa1c And also the global issue tabs or the target tab doesn't show the issues! So as a user I don't have a clue what is happening or what the issues are. Is it just a UI bug and the issues shouldn't be shown? Were they duplicates and therefore not shown in the other tabs? Has Burp a bug and doesn't show me any security issues? Were the issues hidden because an error occured?

Hi Floyd, This does not look quite right to us. Would you be willing to share more detailed screenshots of this live task, via email at the support@portswigger.net address, so that we can take a more in-depth look at it?

Any update on this problem? Still seeing this behavior in Burp Suite Pro v2021.6.2 (more than 2 years after initial problem report). The audit I'm looking at now shows 10 High severity issues under "Audit items" => "Issues". The "Issue activity" tab shows zero High issues.
