DOCUMENT MY PENTEST: YOU HACK, THE AI WRITES IT UP!

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

The PortSwigger research team developed a Burp AI extension that automatically documents a pentest based on the request history. The initial implementation was good at spotting Path Traversal vulnerabilities, but struggled with more complex vulnerabilities like XSS until the team added a regex translator to transform inputs. The team found that the AI could be directly asked to explain why it reported that a false positive was a vulnerability and how to improve its prompt to classify vulnerabilities better.
