Information disclosure via enabled Django debug mode
Published Nov 3, 2025 · Updated Nov 3, 2025
Information disclosure in PHPGurukul News Portal Project 1.0 allows remote attackers to read debugging details via error pages. The onps/settings.py configuration sets Django DEBUG to True, causing error responses to include stack traces, paths, settings metadata, queries, and request data. No authentication or user interaction is required, but an application error must be triggered; the demonstrated impact is read-only disclosure.
