Microsoft login giving bad request with burpsuite

mufas | Last updated: May 14, 2024 09:29AM UTC

I am testing an application that utilizes microsoft login. At some point, microsoft login starts to give 400 bad request error for request GET login.microsoftonline.com/common/discovery/instance and the microsoft login page does not open. This reproduces with different browsers (Chrome, Chromium, Firefox) when the proxy is enabled through Burp suite. The same browsers without proxy work well. In this situation, I cannot log in to the application that I am testing. I am now using workaround to log in with another browser and copying authentication token(s) to the Burp's browser, but this is a bit of a workload. Has anyone else faced this problem? Is there any other workaround for this? I have also tried to empty Burp suite's cookie jar, but that did not work.

Hi Does this initially start off working, and then after a certain period of time start to fail? Is this time period consistent, or does it vary? Do you have any extensions installed on your Burp installation?

Initially, this works. The time period where the login is working is something like 15-60mins. My hunch is that the error happens when user is logged out (with logout or session timeout) from the application under test and/or microsoft SSO. I have several extensions and following were active: Autorize (not in use though), Active scan++, SQLiPy, Hackvertor, Backlash powered scanner.

Thanks for that information! If you unload all extensions, does the behavior persist? Does access become re-enabled after a certain period of time or after restarting Burp?

Hey mufas. Did you ever manage to get this fixed? I seem to have the same problem.
