Security misconfiguration-internal folder disclosure

When folder names or paths are visible in the source code or HTML structure of a web
application (e.g., via inspect element), it can inadvertently reveal the internal architecture
to users. This information can be particularly valuable to malicious actors seeking to
exploit vulnerabilities or misconfigurations.
Impact
Internal folder name disclosure can provide attackers insights into the application's
structure, file organization, and potential entry points for exploitation. This knowledge
can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive areas of the system, facilitate targeted
attacks (such as directory traversal or file inclusion vulnerabilities), and ultimately
compromise sensitive data.
POC
Login to the application and observe internal folders names are visible in inspect element.

    Hi Harsh, adding comment from the duplicate Idea I-157

    Can you clarify whether the visible folder names lead to any of the following in your environment like unauthorized access to endpoints, exposure of sensitive data, execution of directory traversal or file inclusion attacks, or failure of a specific security/compliance requirement?
