Bifrost MCP management API command execution (CVE-2026-90898)

Bifrost's management API started an attacker-supplied command as soon as an MCP stdio client was registered, before any MCP handshake. Management authentication is off by default, so a reachable endpoint meant unauthenticated command execution. CVSS 9.8, fixed in HTTP transport 2.1.0.
