Does Windsurf generate secure error handling?
Windsurf frequently generates error handling code that exposes stack traces, database query details, or internal file paths in error responses returned to users. Verbose error messages are common in AI-generated code because training data from development tutorials and examples often includes detailed error output for debugging purposes. Production applications should return generic error messages to users while logging detailed errors server-side. Windsurf-generated try-catch blocks may also silently swallow errors without proper logging, making it difficult to detect attacks. UNPWNED scans for information disclosure through error messages and identifies endpoints that leak sensitive technical details.
