Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Hono (npm package hono) versions >=4.12.4 and <4.13.11 are vulnerable. Because serveStatic decodes the request path a second time, a crafted request with a malformed percent-encoded sequence can bypass middleware mounted on a static prefix, such as an authentication check, while the file is still served from within the configured root. The source says an unauthenticated attacker can exploit this, and that only applications that mount middleware on part of a directory served by serveStatic are affected. Upgrade to hono 4.13.11, which is the fixed version.
