AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

Hono's IP Restriction Middleware fails to properly validate IPv4 octet ranges, allowing attackers to bypass IP-based access controls by submitting malformed addresses with values exceeding 255. This affects all users relying on Hono's IP filtering mechanisms for authentication or authorization. A patch is available in version 4.11.7 and later.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Affects Hono. Hono is a Web application framework that provides support for any JavaScript runtime. Prior to version 4.11.7, IP Restriction Middleware in Hono is vulnerable to an IP address validation bypass. The IPV4_REGEX pattern and convertIPv4ToBinary function in src/utils/ipaddr.ts do not properly validate that IPv4 octet values are within the valid range of 0-255, allowing attackers to craft malformed IP addresses that bypass IP-based access controls. Version 4.11.7 contains a patch for the issue.
