 Even though the SSH tunnel is only opened to one specific port of your application container, you are still opening up a potential attack vector. CAP console tries to minimize this risk by only opening the tunnel for the duration of the connection. Once you close the CAP console, switch environments, or your user loses access to the CF Space, the SSH tunnel is closed automatically. You must ensure that you and your team understand the security implications of opening SSH tunnels in your environment and read the [Cloud Foundry SSH Documentation](https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/ssh-apps.html). If attackers exploit the SSH tunnel, they will also be able to access the WebSocket and read all data transmitted via it.

 Debug log level produces a high volume of log messages, which can lead to performance degradation in your application. It's advisable to use the debug log level only for short periods when troubleshooting specific issues. Once you've gathered the necessary information, switch back to a less verbose log level to maintain optimal performance. CAP console cannot guarantee that the log level is automatically reset, so please make sure to change it back manually.
