To fix the problem, we need to ensure that the Flask application does not run in debug mode in a production environment. The best way to achieve this is by using an environment variable to control the debug mode. This way, we can enable debug mode during development and disable it in production without changing the code.
- Modify the
app.run()method to check an environment variable (e.g.,FLASK_DEBUG) to determine whether to run in debug mode. - Update the code to read the environment variable and set the
debugparameter accordingly.
