h3: Missing Path Segment Boundary Check in `mount()` Causes Middleware Execution on Unrelated Prefix-Matching Routes

Summary

h3: Missing Path Segment Boundary Check in mount() Causes Middleware Execution on Unrelated Prefix-Matching Routes

Original description

The description as published by the source.

H3 is a minimal H(TTP) framework. In versions 2.0.0-0 through 2.0.1-rc.16, the mount() method in h3 uses a simple startsWith() check to determine whether incoming requests fall under a mounted sub-application's path prefix. Because this check does not verify a path segment boundary (i.e., that the next character after the base is / or end-of-string), middleware registered on a mount like /admin will also execute for unrelated routes such as /admin-public, /administrator, or /adminstuff. This allows an attacker to trigger context-setting middleware on paths it was never intended to cover, potentially polluting request context with unintended privilege flags. Version 2.0.2-rc.17 contains a patch.
