Hono: `mount()` and `app.mount()` can forward a path that bypasses middleware scoped inside the mount prefix

Published Nov 12, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Hono is a Web application framework that provides support for any JavaScript runtime. Prior to 4.13.16, mount() and app.mount() can remove a dynamic mount prefix using the route-pattern length rather than the matched-prefix length, allowing a crafted path to be forwarded as a protected inner route while the outer application routes the original path. Since 4.12.21, rebuilding the forwarded URL from the decoded pathname can also convert a decoded backslash to a slash and collapse parent-directory segments, again causing the mounted application to receive a protected path. An unauthenticated client can use either applicable path transformation to reach a mounted route without authentication or authorization middleware scoped to a subpath inside the mount prefix. This issue is fixed in version 4.13.16.
