Potential fix for https://github.com/GitTimeraider/Directadmin-Emailforwarder/security/code-scanning/9
To fix the problem, we should avoid returning the stringified exception (
str(e)) to the client. Instead, return a generic error message such as "An internal error has occurred. Please try again later." to the client, and log the detailed error (including stack trace) on the server for debugging purposes. This change should be made in the exception handler of theget_da_configfunction (lines 26-28 inapp/settings.py). No new imports are needed, astracebackis already imported andprintis used for logging. The fix is to replace the vulnerable line with a generic error message, and optionally log the stack trace for server-side diagnostics.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix.
