The list in this section is intended to be alphabetical (per contributing.md), but with this addition the ordering around these entries is not alphabetical: Web Security (W) currently appears before Vulhub/VulnHawk (V). Consider moving Web Security after the V entries to keep the list sorted.

The phrase "missing auth checks" is ambiguous (could read as authentication rather than authorization). Since the rest of the sentence mentions authorization/IDOR-style issues, consider changing this to "missing authorization checks" for clarity.
