Potential fix for https://github.com/TilmanGriesel/chipper/security/code-scanning/6
To fix the problem, we need to modify the code to ensure that detailed exception information is not exposed to the user. Instead, we should log the detailed error message on the server and return a generic error message to the user. This can be achieved by updating the
exceptblock to remove the detailed exception message from theerror_response.handle_standard_responsefunction, update theexceptblock to remove the detailed exception message from theerror_response.logger.errorcall.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
