Steeltoe vulnerable to management-port isolation bypass via spoofed Host header
Description
Steeltoe is an open source project that provides a collection of libraries that helps users build cloud-native applications. When Steeltoe management endpoints versions 3.2.2 through 3.3.0 and 4.1.0 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. Versions 3.4.0 and 4.2.0 patch the issue. If an immediate upgrade to a patched version is not possible, add explicit ASP.NET Core authorization (RequireAuthorization) to all sensitive actuator endpoints as a defense-in-depth measure independent of port isolation and/or configure the reverse proxy or load balancer to enforce the Host header value and prevent clients from setting an arbitrary port.
