DEBUG defaults to True (FLASK_DEBUG env var is 'True' unless overridden) and the server binds to 0.0.0.0. When debug mode is active, Flask enables the Werkzeug interactive debugger, which allows arbitrary Python code execution via the browser-accessible debugger console if an exception is triggered. Combined with the public bind address this creates a remote code execution vector on any deployment that forgets to set FLASK_DEBUG=False.
