How to fix?

Upgrade @hono/node-server to version 1.19.10 or higher.

Overview

@hono/node-server is a Node.js Adapter for Hono

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of URL Encoding (Hex Encoding) via inconsistent URL decoding between the serveStatic process and route-based middleware protections. An attacker can access protected static resources without authorization by requesting paths with encoded slashes - e.g. /admin%2Fsecret.html.

Note: This vulnerability specifically affects applications that rely solely on route-based middleware to protect static subpaths.
