Description

Changes www and app.js to improve production security by preventing internal error details from being exposed to users. Error responses now return generic messages instead of stack traces or system information, while full details are still logged internally for debugging. The update also removes identifying headers and adds safeguards to properly handle unexpected failures, reducing the risk of sensitive information being disclosed.

Developed and implemented by:

Fixes Pentest Issue #14

Limitations

These changes mitigate information disclosure through application error handling but do not eliminate all potential exposure risks. Proper environment configuration and secure log management are still required to maintain production security.
