| # Title : Apache bRPC ? 1.14.0 ? Exposure & Misconfiguration Checker |
| # Author : indoushka |
| # Tested on : windows 11 Fr(Pro) / browser : Mozilla firefox 147.0.1 (64 bits) |
| # Vendor : https://brpc.apache.org/ |

[+] References : https://packetstorm.news/files/id/214044/ & CVE-2025-60021

[+] Summary : This checker does NOT exploit the vulnerability.
It only detects unsafe exposure conditions that may lead to CVE-2025-60021 if combined with a vulnerable bRPC version and configuration
