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::1vs2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:1) - Hex-notation IPv4-mapped addresses (
::ffff:7f00:1vs::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…
