CVE-2026-50194: Steeltoe vulnerable to management-port isolation bypass via spoofed Host header
When Steeltoe management endpoints are configured to listen on an alternate port (Management:Endpoints:Port is configured), the middleware responsible for restricting access to the endpoints uses the Host HTTP header rather than the actual network socket port.
