Hacking with Burp Suite Bambdas

Auto Parameter Highlighting Burp Suite Bambda

If you haven’t heard of Bambdas before check out the PortSwigger announcement first.

This Burp Suite Bambda was inspired by the below Bambda I stumbled across on github:

BugBountyZip

and this code posted on X by @irsdl:

@irsdl

I took a look at both Bambdas, combined some functions, added some extra code and came up with a Bambda that:

  1. Identifies potentially vulnerable parameters
  2. Filters the requests within the HTTP proxy history
  3. Applies a colour highlight for each different vuln class (SSRF, SQLi, XSS, LFI, OR, RCE)
  4. If multiple classes of vulnerability apply the request is highlighted magenta
  5. Adds a note annotation containing the potential vuln class and the matched parameter (concatenates multiple vuln classes if present)

It’s super easy to modify this function, just add in new parameters or a whole new custom array if you are looking for something specific.

/**
* Filters Proxy HTTP history for requests with vulnerable parameters based on the OWASP Top 25
* using the parameter arrays written by Tur24Tur / BugBountyzip (https://github.com/BugBountyzip).
* @author Shain Lakin (https://github.com/flamebarke/SkittlesBambda)
* Implements colour highlighting for each class of vulnerability along with
* automatic note annotations detailing the parameter to test and class of vulnerability.
