This includes a feature that allows arbitrary code execution. Documentation for both Flask [1]_ and Werkzeug [2]_ strongly suggests that debug mode should never be enabled on production systems. Operating a production server with debug mode enabled was the probable cause of the Patreon breach in 2015 [3]_. :Example: .. code-block:: none >> Issue: A Flask app appears to be run with debug=True, which exposes the Werkzeug debugger and allows the execution of arbitrary code.
