Potential fix for https://github.com/TilmanGriesel/chipper/security/code-scanning/7

To fix the problem, we need to ensure that detailed error messages are not exposed to the end user. Instead, we should log the detailed error message on the server and return a generic error message to the user. This can be achieved by modifying the exception handling code to log the exception and return a generic error message.

  1. Import the logging module if it is not already imported.
  2. Modify the exception handling block to log the detailed error message using the logger and return a generic error message to the user.
