How TheSiteFuse checks "Directory listing disabled"
When directory listing is enabled on the web server, accessing a folder like /uploads/ shows a list of all files it contains (like a file explorer). This is useful in development but disastrous in production.
Why it matters
Real-world impact of "Directory listing disabled"
A listable directory exposes all user-uploaded files, internal documents, backups, and sometimes configuration data. Attackers systematically scan /uploads/, /images/ and /files/ looking for exposed data.
