In scope:
- The
burp-ai-agentextension code. - MCP server and tool dispatcher.
- Redaction pipeline.
- Backend adapters (HTTP and CLI).
- Audit logging and persistent prompt cache.
Out of scope:
- Vulnerabilities in Burp Suite itself (report to PortSwigger).
- Vulnerabilities in third-party AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, NVIDIA, GitHub, etc.).
- Vulnerabilities in local model runners (Ollama, LM Studio).
- Issues requiring physical access to the user's machine.
The extension runs inside Burp Suite on the user's machine. The threat model assumes:
- Burp Suite preferences are accessible only to the local user.
- API keys and credentials are stored via Burp's standard preferences storage.
- The MCP server binds to
127.0.0.1by default; external access requires explicit opt-in with a bearer token and optional TLS. - Privacy modes (STRICT / BALANCED / OFF) control what request and response data is sent to AI backends.
