Description
Unfurl through 2025.08 contains an improper input validation vulnerability in config parsing that enables Flask debug mode by default. The debug configuration value is read as a string and passed directly to app.run(), causing any non-empty string to evaluate truthy, allowing attackers to access the Werkzeug debugger and disclose sensitive information or achieve remote code execution.
