Potential fix for https://github.com/gm3dmo/the-power/security/code-scanning/12
To fix the issue, we will remove the hardcoded
debug=Truefrom theapp.run()call and replace it with a dynamic configuration based on an environment variable. This approach ensures that debug mode is only enabled when explicitly set, reducing the risk of accidental exposure in production. Specifically:osmodule if not already imported.os.getenvto read aFLASK_DEBUGenvironment variable, defaulting toFalseif not set.app.run()call.This change will ensure that the application does not run in debug mode by default, and debug mode can still be enabled for development by setting the
FLASK_DEBUGenvironment variable to1.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
