Websockets dropping connection in latest verison

Paweł | Last updated: Mar 03, 2023 01:41PM UTC

I am having an issue while intercepting traffic using WebSockets. I encountered this issue while using 2023.1.3 professional version of BurpSuite. Using the older version (from January) did not fix the issue. The version that's let's me properly intercept traffic of WebSockets is 2022.9.6. I tried doing the same thing on clean windows virtual machine with clean installation of 2023.1.3 version, however the issue was still there. Doing the clean windows machine and clean installation of 2022.9.6 "fixes" the issue. I can intercept WebSockets traffic properly. I confirmed using wireshark that the request for the WebSockets is leaving machine and the response from the server is received, however the response cannot be seen in the BurpSuite itself (which leads to the situation that browser does not receive data sent through WebSockets using Burp proxy). If this is relevant in any way, I am using Windows 10.
