Node.js Adapter for Hono: Unauthenticated memory-leak DoS via aborted WebSocket handshake

CVE-2026-73565 / GHSA-9mqv-5hh9-4cgg

More information

Details

Summary

A WebSocket upgrade request to an upgradeWebSocket route with a missing or malformed Sec-WebSocket-Key header leaks memory permanently. The request's IncomingMessage is retained in an internal map and a pending promise is never settled, even though no connection is established. Since the route is reachable pre-handshake without authentication, an unauthenticated attacker can flood it to gradually exhaust memory.

Details

The built-in WebSocket helper cleans up its internal map only on a successful handshake or when the route guard rejects the request. When ws aborts the handshake because Sec-WebSocket-Key is missing or malformed, no connection event is emitted, so neither cleanup path runs and the entry is retained forever. A present-but-malformed key leaks identically, so a proxy that only checks for the header's presence does not mitigate it.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can flood any public upgradeWebSocket route with malformed-key upgrade requests, causing unbounded memory growth and eventual loss of availability. No confidentiality or integrity impact.

Node.js Adapter for Hono: Path traversal in serve-static on Windows via encoded backslash (%5C)

GHSA-frvp-7c67-39w9

More information

Details

The same as the hono core Path traversal in serve-static on Windows via encoded backslash (%5C).

Summary

On Windows hosts, an encoded backslash (%5C) in the request path decodes to \, which the Windows path resolver treats as a separator. serve-static then resolves a single URL segment such as admin\secret.txt into a nested file under the root and serves it, letting an attacker read static files meant to be protected behind prefix-mounted middleware. Directory escape (..) remains blocked.

Details

The router splits paths only on /, so /admin%5Csecret.txt is one segment and middleware on /admin/* does not run. The serve-static guard rejects ./.. and consecutive separators but lets a lone \ through; on Windows the file resolver re-splits it into the protected subtree.

This affects Windows hosts serving static files via the Node, Bun, or Deno adapters that guard a static subtree with prefix-mounted middleware.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can read static files under a middleware-guarded prefix on Windows hosts. The read stays within the configured root; escape outside the root is not possible.

Severity

@​hono/node-server: serveStatic decodes the request path a second time, leading to bypass of middleware on static paths

CVE-2026-118663 / GHSA-rmxm-3fg6-px4f

More information

Details

Summary

serveStatic decodes the request path a second time after Hono has already decoded it for routing. A crafted request can be routed as one path and served as another, so middleware mounted on a static prefix does not run for a file under that prefix.

Details

Hono decodes the request path once before routing. serveStatic decoded it again before resolving the file. With a malformed percent-encoded sequence, the first decode leaves part of the path encoded, the router matches the encoded form, and the second decode resolves the real directory. The file is still resolved inside the configured root; this is not a traversal outside it.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker may reach static files without the middleware on their prefix running, for example an authentication check. This affects applications that mount middleware on part of the directory served by serveStatic. Applications that serve only public files are not affected.

v2.1.3

Security fixes

serveStatic decodes the request path a second time, leading to bypass of middleware on static paths

Affects: @hono/node-server/serve-static. Fixes serveStatic decoding an already-decoded path, where a crafted request could be routed as one path and served as another, skipping middleware mounted on a static prefix. GHSA-rmxm-3fg6-px4f

serveStatic now rejects request paths that still contain % after decoding. To serve files whose names contain a literal %, set allowPercentInPath: true.

The same fix ships in hono v4.13.11.

Security fixes

This release includes a fix for the following security issue:

Unauthenticated memory-leak DoS via aborted WebSocket handshake

Affects: upgradeWebSocket. A WebSocket upgrade request with a missing or malformed Sec-WebSocket-Key header leaked the request's IncomingMessage and left a promise pending, even though no connection was established. Since the route is reachable pre-handshake without authentication, an attacker could flood it to gradually exhaust memory. GHSA-9mqv-5hh9-4cgg


Users of upgradeWebSocket are encouraged to upgrade to this version.
