Potential fix for https://github.com/GitTimeraider/Directadmin-Emailforwarder/security/code-scanning/4
To fix the problem, we should ensure that exception details are not sent to the user in API responses. Instead, return a generic error message and log the actual exception details on the server for debugging. Specifically, in
DirectAdminAPI.create_forwarder, change the return value in the exception handler fromFalse, str(e)toFalse, "An error occurred while creating the forwarder". The detailed exception should still be logged server-side. No changes are needed inapp/main.pysince it already returns a generic error message in the outer exception handler, but the error returned fromcreate_forwardershould also be generic.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix.
