Sorry, as Garth Mollett pointed out to me via E-mail, this is not simply
an information disclosure but instead a backdoor. Probably the closest
prior report I've seen is bug 1425206.

Though also, Ironic is not currently under OpenStack VMT oversight[*],
so take this as guidance for how I would have classified it were that
not actually the case.

Bug description:
  A lot of people default to running their servers in debug mode. While
  handy for getting the full logs, in our case it will also allow access
  to Flask console, which may pose a security risk. We need a separate
  option for this.
