To fix the issue, we need to ensure that sensitive exception details are not exposed to external users. Instead of directly passing str(e) as the message argument to error_response, we should always provide a generic error message for the client. The detailed exception information should only be logged on the server for debugging purposes. This can be achieved by modifying the calls to error_response in users/views.py to use a generic error message, while still passing the exception object (exc) for logging purposes.
