Overview

hono is an Ultrafast web framework for the Edges

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Cache Containing Sensitive Information through the cache process in the cache middleware. An attacker can cause responses to be cached or served incorrectly by sending requests that elicit Vary headers, Authorization headers, or non-GET methods. As a result, users can receive stale or cross-request content, and authenticated or method-specific responses can be stored or reused in ways that break application behavior and expose the wrong response body.

Workarounds

  • Avoid using the cache middleware on endpoints that return authenticated or per-user content unless you can mark those responses as non-cacheable; this prevents cross-user cache leakage and stale user-specific bodies.
