Burp XML

File Types

DefectDojo parser accepts Burp Issue data as an .xml file. To parse an HTML file instead, use this method: https://documentation.defectdojo.com/integrations/parsers/file/burp_enterprise/

When the Burp report is generated, the recommended option is Base64 encoding both the request and response fields - e.g. check the box that says "Base64-encode requests and responses". These fields will be processed and made available in the 'Finding View' page.

See also: Burp documentation - XML export is described under “Export Issue data”. https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/enterprise/work-with-scan-results/generate-reports

Acceptable XML Format

All XML elements are required and will be parsed as strings.
