docs: clarify file_server hide case-sensitivity

merged

details

Finding IDs: F-CADDY-FILESERVER-HIDE-CASE-001
Status: merged
Reported date: 4 Mar 2026
Rationale: documents that hide comparisons are case-sensitive; on case-insensitive filesystems, differently-cased request paths may still resolve to the same on-disk path, so hide should not be treated as a security boundary for sensitive paths.

How this page groups evidence

This identifier groups recorded evidence; it is not an additional CVE, independent-vulnerability count or guarantee of vendor confirmation. Fixed code, released versions, attribution and independent discovery are distinct claims. Absent metadata means not recorded, not disproved. Counting rules.
