Burp Seems not able to crawl HTML in angular js application.

Dhaval | Last updated: Apr 12, 2018 06:39AM UTC

I am crawl an application which is created my angular js. All Burp spider is fetching Post, Get APIs and .js files, What about html pages ? How to effectively crawl an application.

You can test Angular applications using Burp, but you need to do some steps manually. In particular, Spider has limited functionality for such applications. You'll need to manually spider the application, with Burp as a proxy to build up the site map. Once you've done this, you can use other Burp tools – Repeater, Intruder, Scanner, etc. – to test the endpoints you've discovered. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

So are you saying not html pages will be shown in site map if application is in Angular JS ? Why such limitations in a paid tool ? Its look like that the same thing we can achieve in ZAP as well.

Your application will be shown in the Site map if you crawl the application manually. - https://support.portswigger.net/customer/portal/articles/1783108-recon-and-analysis-with-burp-suite We're working on enhancing Burp Suite's automated crawling functionality.

I have the same issue. Crawlers is not detecting any links that are present in the angular components such as <app-root></app-root>. Do u guys have any tutorials or documentations which can help me in detecting links in angular components that are present in .html file?

We will be releasing a feature to enable Burp Crawler to handle JavaScript applications. We'll update you when this feature is released.

Is the feature released? Can you post an update on the same?

Sushma, the feature hasn't been released. It is on this years roadmap. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Hi Itachi, Burp Suite Professional version 2.1.05 was released with our new experimental crawler (which is able to handle JavaScript heavy applications better than previously) and this has been improved upon in the subsequent 2.1.06 and 2.1.07 releases. Our advice would be to download version 2.1.07 and try it on your web application. Please let us know if you require any further information.

Hi, Thank you for the update. Is the feature available in Burp Entreprise and if yes, how it is throw ?

Hannah, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: Jan 17, 2020 02:09PM UTC

This feature is not officially supported in Enterprise. However, the scanner is the same for both Burp Suite Professional and Burp Suite Enterprise. Therefore you can export a scan configuration from Professional and import it into Enterprise.

Is the new JavaScript scanning feature available in the community edition? If yes, please share the details to activate or use the same in community edition 2.1.07
