Important functional bug in unmaintained extension "Request Minimizer"

Nicolas | Last updated: Jan 07, 2021 06:12PM UTC

Hello, I noticed that extension "Request Minimizer" will not act on POST parameters, because of a faulty IF condition. I reported the bug to the author, but I doubt it will be patched anytime soon (the last update was 3 years ago): https://github.com/ngo/burp-request-minimizer/issues/7 The fix is super easy (replace "and" by "," on line 77), and I hope Portswigger will patch its fork (the one used for the BAppStore). Thanks in advance!

Workaround (after installation from the BAppStore): sed -i 's/IParameter.PARAM_BODY and/IParameter.PARAM_BODY,/' ~/.BurpSuite/bapps/cc16f37549ff416b990d4312490f5fd1/minimizer.py
