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 |
