Vulnerable vs. safe
Flagged by this check
// server.error.include-stacktrace=alwaysPasses - the safe pattern
// server.error.include-stacktrace=neverWhy it matters & how to fix it
Spring Boot is configured to always return stack traces / exception detail in error responses (server.error.include-stacktrace=always, CWE-209). This leaks internal implementation detail to clients. Set include-stacktrace to never (or on_param for debugging only) and return generic error responses.
