Issue activity tab doesn't list all issues detected in audit items tab

Jayesh | Last updated: Feb 24, 2023 02:58PM UTC

Burp Pro: v2012.1.2 After starting a scan for a specific target, approximately 20K requests and few hours later, if we check Audit Items tab for this specific scan, we can see quite a few issues in "Issues" column. However, when we check "Issue Activity" tab, it shows only 2-3 of those issues. So the generated report doesn't show the full picture. Is this some kind of known behavior? Something needs to be tweaked to get the entire list of issues?

Hi Jayesh, Just to confirm, are you scanning a site, that you have previously scanned, in the same Burp project file?

Hi Ben, Thanks for your response. I am using same Burp project file for all scans however the site in question here is unique, hasn't been scanned before. Would you suggest scanning in new project may provide different result? Also, can you please share some link which explains how the usage of same project file may affect repeated scans? I would like to understand that more. Correction in my original post: Burp Pro version is: v2023.1.2

Thanks for the update. Can you email some screenshots of the tabs from the scan task to support@portswigger.net and, if possible, some details of the other types of testing you had carried out in this file? Have you also done manual testing that has identified and reported issues in the Issue Activity tab on the main Dashboard? The documentation for Burp Dashboard mentions this behavior, butif you have further questions, please let us know. https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/dashboard
