So, I was trying to watch this video on YouTube, when this happened.

Whoa, chief. That’s some diagnostic code you’ve got there. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear Google was encrypting the output of their errors. What a brilliant idea! That way you can get the end user to report exactly what happened, without them even knowing what sort of vulnerability they just stumbled upon. I love it!
Sadly, I know this process will cause an even lower rate of submission of error reports, because most people will simply look at this gobbledygook and say “What the hell is that?!” and merrily click on to another page.
But wait, there’s more! Being a good net citizen, I decided to go ahead and report the error as they requested. Here’s a screenshot of the error I got back.
While I realize that exposing JavaScript is not nearly on par with a back-end scripting language and other intricacies being revealed, it is rather ironic and funny.
