Active Scan++ “Launch Attack” Functions Do Not Work from Burp Suite Repeater or Context Menu

[burper00]

There is a bug in the Active Scan++ extension. When I right-click a request in the Repeater tab, or from another location, and try to run a scan on it, nothing happens.

After clicking “Launch all attacks,” I don’t see any activity in the Burp Suite Logger tab. If it were working, it would easily detect the vulnerability. This is a minimum-level XXE PortSwigger lab environment.

Not only with “Launch all attacks” — there is also no activity when I start XML Security.

If I start a scan with Burp Suite, it manages to run passively in the background. It only works with Burp Suite’s scan.

This is also with the Burp Suite scan started. As you can see, it only works with the Burp Suite scan.

By the way, whether I add the target to scope or not, none of the right-click “Launch attack” functions work.

Thanks for the report. Can you do the following:

• Unload the extension
• Load it again
• Launch All Attacks
• Check Logger to see if it sent any requests
• If not, check he "Error" tab next to "Output" under "Extensions"

Thank you for the response. The Error tab is completely empty, and the Output tab is as follows:

Using albinowaxUtils v1.4
This extension should be run on the latest version of Burp Suite. Using an older version of Burp may cause impaired functionality.
Loaded ActiveScan++ v2.0.10

Does it normally work on a Windows computer and with this version? Have you tested it? Or is the issue only on my side? Because I’ve done the things you mentioned many times. Each time, I checked the Output and Error sections to see if there was any error. None of the scans I started with right-click could be performed, and it didn’t show any error either. It’s just blank.

When I follow the steps you mentioned, the result is the same as before. The Error section is empty, and the Output section is as shown in the image.
