Overview

hono is an Ultrafast web framework for the Edges

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling via the bodyLimit middleware when conflicting HTTP headers are present. An attacker can cause excessive memory or CPU consumption by sending oversized request bodies that bypass the configured size limit.

Note: This is exploitable if the deployment environment or runtime does not reject requests with both Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding: chunked headers.
