Check Text

Review application behavior and custom database code (stored procedures, triggers), to determine whether error messages contain information beyond what is needed for explaining the issue to general users. If database error messages contain PII data, sensitive business data, or information useful for identifying the host system or database structure, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Adjust database code to remove any information not required for explaining the error to an end user. Consider enabling trace flag 3625 to mask certain system-level error information returned to non-administrative users. Launch SQL Server Configuration Manager >> Click SQL Services >> Open the instance properties >> Click the Service Parameters tab >> Enter "-T3625" >> Click Add >> Click OK >> Restart SQL instance.
