22// TestAuthenticationBypass tests for CVE-TBD: Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
23//
24// VULNERABILITY:
25// A critical authentication bypass allows an attacker to impersonate any user
26// (including Admin) by "offering" the victim's public key during the SSH handshake
27// before authenticating with their own valid key. This occurs because the user
28// identity is stored in the session context during the "offer" phase in
29// PublicKeyHandler and is not properly cleared/validated in AuthenticationMiddleware.
30//
31// This test verifies that:
32// 1. User context is properly set based on the AUTHENTICATED key, not offered keys
33// 2. User context from failed authentication attempts is not preserved
34// 3. Non-admin users cannot gain admin privileges through this attack
