Once the issue fixed the replicator reports the vulnerability is now fixed and also it recommends retest if the vulnerability exists.

Issues can have the following status

  • Vulnerable – The application is still vulnerable.
  • Resolved (tentative) – The vulnerability appears to be resolved. The replicator cannot confirm this with certainty; a retest is required for that.
  • Unable to replicate – It wasn’t possible to determine if the application is vulnerable. This may be because credentials are invalid. Some fixes (e.g. removing the whole page) can cause this.

Developer workflow – Burp Extension Replicator

  1. Load the Replicator file.
  2. If you want to test a different application instance (perhaps a development instance) edit the Hosts section to point to the instance.
  3. Click Test all. All the vulnerabilities should get status Vulnerable. If any do not, you need to investigate why. You can use the Start Trace button to generate a trace file that may help the pen tester diagnose the issue.
  4. Save the file. This is important for confirming fixes later.
  5. Identify an issue to work on. Consult the pen test report for a full description.
  6. When the application has been updated, click Test to see if it’s still vulnerable.

You can find the Tested Workflow and download the extension from bappstore.The extension was developed by Paul Johnston and PortSwigger.
