+ * Security Test: Authentication Bypass Vulnerability

+ * 
+ * Vulnerability Details:
+ * - User-scoped MCP endpoints (/:user/mcp/*) accepted requests without authentication
+ * - Bearer auth validation was bypassed due to filtered settings
+ * - Users could impersonate other users by changing username in URL

+ * 
+ * Fix: Use loadOriginalSettings() to bypass filtering and read the actual config.

+     * VULNERABILITY REPORT SUMMARY:
+     * 
+     * While testing @samanhappy/mcphub, a vulnerability was found where bearer
+     * authentication could be bypassed even when enableBearerAuth was set to true.
+     * 
+     * ROOT CAUSE:
+     * validateBearerAuth() called loadSettings(), which internally calls
+     * DataServicex.filterSettings(). For unauthenticated requests (no user context),
+     * filterSettings() removes systemConfig from the returned settings.
+     * 
+     * This caused routingConfig to fall back to defaults:
+     * ```
+     * const routingConfig = settings.systemConfig?.routing || {
+     *   enableBearerAuth: false,  // Always defaults to false!
+     *   ...
+     * };
+     * ```
+     * 
+     * IMPACT:
+     * - enableBearerAuth configuration was never enforced
+     * - Bearer tokens were never validated
+     * - Any client could access protected endpoints without authentication
+     * 
+     * FIX APPLIED:
+     * Changed validateBearerAuth() to use loadOriginalSettings() instead of
+     * loadSettings(). This bypasses user-context filtering and reads the actual
+     * system configuration.
+     * 
+     * FILE: src/services/sseService.ts
+     * LINE: 37
+     * CHANGE:const settings = loadOriginalSettings();  // Was: loadSettings()
+     * 
+     * VERIFICATION:
+     * - Bearer auth tests in sseService.test.ts verify enforcement
+     * - Security tests in auth-bypass.test.ts verify user authentication
+     * - No bypass possible when enableBearerAuth is configured

+     * - Removes systemConfig from settings
+     * - Replaces it with user-specific config from userConfigs
+     * - For unauthenticated: user is null, so systemConfig becomes undefined
+     * 
+     * ```typescript
+     * filterSettings(settings: McpSettings, user?: IUser): McpSettings {
+     *   const currentUser = user || UserContextService.getInstance().getCurrentUser();
