What Briar Found — Real Example

Against a file server on port 666 (ransomware-like deployment):

#	Vulnerability	Severity	CVSS
1	Path Traversal	🔴 Critical	9.1
2	IDOR — File Enumeration	🟠 High	7.5
3	Unauthenticated File Access	🔴 Critical	9.1
4	Arbitrary File Upload (RCE)	🔴 Critical	9.8
5	Directory Listing	🟠 High	6.5
6	HTTP Verb Tampering	🟡 Medium	5.0
7	Missing Security Headers	🟢 Low	3.1
8	SSRF via URL param	🟠 High	8.6
9	Reflected XSS	🟠 High	7.2
10	Sensitive File Exposure	🟡 Medium	5.3

Each finding includes: copy-paste curl PoC, CVSS score, tech-specific remediation (nginx/Apache/Flask/Express code).
