How it was found

Hi I found that custom errors for http://portswigger.net application framework `are not configured., so application vulnerable to CWE-756 & CWE-12 https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/12.html https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/756.html

  • Impact:

Default error pages gives detailed information about the error that occurred, and should not be used in production environments.

Attackers can leverage the additional information provided by a default error page to mount attacks targeted on the framework, database, or other resources used by the application.

  • POC:
