memory leak issues with Burp Suite Pro?

Adam | Last updated: Sep 12, 2024 08:17PM UTC

My company uses Burp Suite Pro to scan a number of websites, some of these we scan roughly quarterly. Our systems team manages the updates to Burp Suite Pro on a monthly basis, so we're not necessarily always using the very latest version. Today I attempted to crawl one of our websites using version 2024.6.6 and I repeatedly ran into memory issues within a short time of beginning an authenticated crawl using a recorded login sequence. I had scanned this same site just two months ago using version 2024.5.3 with no problems. I checked with the web developer and their have been pretty minimal changes to the site in the last two months, nothing that we would expect to cause memory problems. So I was just wondering if there are any known issues with version 24.6.6 that might cause this, and would upgrading to 2024.7.5 potentially solve them?

Hi Adam, On our releases page, you can find the description on what each release contains: https://portswigger.net/burp/releases#professional For v2024.7.5, we did make some improvements to help with both performance and memory. Can you please try running the scan on that version? If you are still encountering issues, we'll be happy to take a deeper look into this for you- just pop an email to support@portswigger.net
