Vulnerability in hono (CVE-2026-47674)

Summary

Vulnerability in hono (CVE-2026-47674). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via getIP. Mitigation: upgrade to 4.12.21 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Summary

The ip-restriction middleware (hono/ip-restriction) compares incoming IP addresses against configured deny and allow rules using string equality after partial normalization. Non-canonical IPv6 representations of an address already listed in a static rule — such as compressed forms, explicit-zero forms, or hex-notation IPv4-mapped addresses — do not match the normalized rule entry, causing the rule to be silently skipped.

Details

When the rule matcher is built, each configured IP rule is normalized to a canonical string form. Incoming IP addresses received at request time are then compared against those canonical strings without applying the same normalization. Because IPv6 permits multiple syntactically different representations of the same numeric address, a non-canonical form of a denied address fails the string lookup and proceeds to the CIDR check, which also finds no match for rules registered as static (no prefix length). The request is then allowed.

Affected non-canonical forms include:

  • Compressed versus expanded notation (2001:db8::1 vs 2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:1)
  • Hex-notation IPv4-mapped addresses (::ffff:7f00:1 vs ::ffff:127.0.0.1)
  • Zone identifier suffixes (e.g., fe80::1%eth0)

Additionally, invalid IP address strings provided as the remote address are not rejected and may result in unexpected allow or deny behavior.

This issue arises when applications use ipRestriction() with static (non-CIDR) rules and the IP address source ca…

❓ What is the problem

A vulnerability (CWE-185) exists in hono. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via getIP without authentication.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of hono. Attack surface: getIP.

🔥 Severity

Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.3/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 4.12.21.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'hono' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'hono' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で hono を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade hono to 4.12.21

    ステージング環境で 4.12.21 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
