Remove a public .DS_Store file
exposed-dsstore
A .DS_Store file lists every filename in the directory it came from, handing an attacker a map of paths you never linked to. Delete it.
Why this matters
A macOS metadata file is publicly accessible. It reveals directory structure, which gives attackers reconnaissance data but is not directly exploitable.
