Severity: Medium
Bug Name: Directory Listing Enabled
Website: https://piuparts.debian.org
PoC URL: https://piuparts.debian.org/images/

Description:
Your web server allows directory listing, enabling anyone to browse contents of folders. This could expose sensitive files not meant for public viewing, such as backups, configs, or scripts.

Impact:
- Unintended file discovery.
- Easier path to LFI, RCE or other attacks.
- Exposes internal project structures or staging files.

Suggested Fix:
- Disable directory listing in your web server settings.
- Add `Options -Indexes` in `.htaccess` for Apache.
- Use custom 403 pages for unauthorized Browse.
