Flask JSON null body caused AttributeError on route payload access

5712b23a-a537-425f-bb1f-85c3952bd7fa

A Flask JSON API crashed when POST/PUT handlers read request.json and immediately called data.get(...). Requests with Content-Type application/json and body null parse to Python None, so the handlers raised AttributeError instead of returning a client error. JSON arrays or malformed/missing JSON would have had similar non-object payload risks.
