Information Disclosure - Debug Error Messages
What is it?
The API endpoint or server returns a response that contains standard error messages returned by platforms such as ASP.NET, and Web-servers such as IIS and Apache.
Revealing standard error/debug information, allows attackers to deduce the type of the API server. This in turn enables attackers to try exploiting the server for known/unpatched vulnerabilities.

How does it work?
Responses sent by the API server are analyzed for the presence of standard error/debug messages that reveal the type of the API server.
What is the solution?
Disable debugging messages before promoting to production.
