CVE-2026-44788: Path Traversal Case Sensitive Starts With
When performing path boundary checking, verifying paths via a case-sensitive `StartsWith` (e.g., `StringComparison.Ordinal`) is unsafe on case-insensitive file systems like Windows. Attackers can bypass the restriction by mixing case or leveraging symlink resolutions. Use a platform-aware string comparison check (e.g., `StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase`).
