Overview

hono is an Ultrafast web framework for the Edges

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling in its query parsing helpers, which do not terminate at the URL fragment and parse a ? appearing after a # as the start of the query string. An attacker can smuggle parameters past upstream allow/deny lists and validation, poison cache entries with unobserved parameters, or achieve stored XSS in cached HTML, by placing query parameters after a # fragment so browsers, new URL(), and reverse proxies ignore them while the query helpers still read them. This requires a literal # in the request URL to reach the application, and deployments behind intermediaries that strip fragments or runtimes that normalize URLs, such as Cloudflare Workers, are unaffected.
