Description Filip Komar 2016-06-05 23:47:33 CEST
Current server error_reporting is 22527. That's way to high for a production webserver.

It's possible to set that in the source with ini_set('error_reporting', 0) but not all code does that so it can unnecessary expose more surface to attackers by showing errors, warning and even notices.

I'm sorry for not reporting this sooner. I also didn't test other our domains as that can be also exposition of security critical data but I guess the concern is valid for them too.
