There's no excuse for insecure defaults.
2 comments

I disagreed, in OWASP: It is important to understand that by no means does “Secure Defaults” mean turning off all possible network applications or sockets and services. And neither do Secure Defaults mean a 100% secure environment. But, they should ensure the least number of possible loopholes and fewer drawbacks.

Likewise, no matter what languages, majority are insecure by defaults.

What other tech stack allows you to publicly query the application data source by default? I think it's fair to say that shouldn't be possible and I'd be hard pressed to believe that OWASP would disagree with that.
It's more of a development default.
