[TASK]: SecureChat: Error Response Exposes Exception Message and Stack Trace

[pravin-bansod]

Task Details

The current implementation of the SecureChat error response includes detailed exception messages and stack traces. This behavior poses a security risk as sensitive implementation details may be exposed to clients.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Trigger an error in SecureChat (e.g., invalid request or server failure).
• Observe the error response returned to the client.
• Note that the response

Actual Behavior:

The error response exposes exception messages and stack traces, which reveal implementation details.

Expected Behavior:

• Error responses should provide generic, user-friendly messages (e.g., "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.").
• Detailed exception messages and stack traces should be omitted from responses.
• Internal logs should capture detailed errors for debugging purposes.

Proposed Solution:

Implement a centralized error-handling mechanism to sanitize error responses.
Log detailed exceptions and stack traces on the server for internal use.
Return a generic error message to clients, along with an optional error code for support/debugging.
