Code Review

This pull request introduces a testbed for reproducing and verifying the Traefik StripPrefix Middleware Authentication Bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-48020). It includes a Docker Compose setup, a mock Python backend, a Traefik dynamic configuration, and a README guide. The review feedback points out a hardcoded local directory path in the README, a markdown syntax error in a code block, and a potential false positive in the mock backend's path checking logic when query parameters are present.

### Start the Testbed

```bash
cd /usr/local/google/home/dyeddala/tsunami/security-testbeds/traefik/CVE-2026-48020

The path to the testbed directory is hardcoded to a specific user's local home directory (/usr/local/google/home/dyeddala/...). This should be updated to a relative path so that the instructions work for any user.

The code block is closed with only two backticks instead of three, which causes a markdown rendering syntax error. Please add a third backtick to properly close the code block.

The current path check uses "/admin" in self.path, which can lead to false positives if the string "/admin" or "/internal" appears in the query parameters (e.g., ?file=/admin) of a public request. Splitting the path by ? to exclude query parameters will make the verification more robust.

Suggested change
if "/admin" in self.path or "/internal" in self.path:
if "/admin" in self.path.split("?")[0] or "/internal" in self.path.split("?")[0]:
