The Problem
Sentry DSN (Data Source Name) URLs exposed in client-side code, allowing error spam.
Impact
Error quota exhaustion, spam errors, and potential denial of service on error tracking.
Affected Tools

Implement rate limiting, use client-side filtering, set up IP allowlists, and monitor error volume patterns for abuse.
