hono is vulnerable to Path Traversal
59
Medium Risk
This Affects:
honoTL;DR
The serve-static middleware rejects dot-segment and double-separator paths but allowed a lone backslash in the decoded filename. On Windows the path resolver treats backslash as a separator, so a single URL segment containing an encoded backslash can resolve into a nested protected file. An unauthenticated attacker can read static files behind prefix-mounted guards without escaping the configured root. The guard now rejects any decoded path containing a backslash separator.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you serve static files on Windows hosts using serve-static with prefix-mounted middleware guards.
