Ken Johnson 5d698c8003 Fix RSpec 3 compatibility: Replace pending with skip
Updated vulnerability specs to use `skip` instead of `pending` to align
with RSpec 3+ semantics where pending means "expected to fail."

Background:
In RSpec 2, `pending` would skip tests. In RSpec 3+, `pending` marks
a test as expected to fail, and if it passes, that's an error. This was
causing issues in maintainer mode where passing tests were incorrectly
flagged as failures.

Changes:
- Replaced `pending unless verifying_fixed?` with `skip unless verifying_fixed?`
  in 11 vulnerability spec files:
  - broken_auth_spec.rb
  - command_injection_spec.rb
  - csrf_spec.rb
  - insecure_dor_spec.rb
  - mass_assignment_spec.rb
  - password_complexity_spec.rb
  - sensitive_data_exposure.rb
  - sql_injection_spec.rb
  - unvalidated_redirects_spec.rb
  - url_access_spec.rb
  - xss_spec.rb

Impact:
- Maintainer mode: Tests are properly skipped (no false failures)
- Training mode: Tests run and demonstrate vulnerabilities as before
- All tests pass with 0 failures in maintainer mode
