DescriptionCVE.org
Hono is a Web application framework that provides support for any JavaScript runtime. From 4.12.12 until 4.13.5, the fix released for CVE-2026-39408 does not cover every traversal sequence, and toSSG() can still write files outside the configured output directory when a route parameter contains consecutive parent-directory segments. Static site generation builds each output path from the route path and values supplied through ssgParams, then verifies that the result stays inside the output directory using the same normalization routine that built the path. That routine does not fully collapse runs of consecutive parent-directory segments, allowing a path that the check accepts to resolve outside the output directory, and the check also treats output directories that differ in how they are rooted as equivalent. This arises when an application generates a static site from route parameter values it does not fully control, such as slugs from a CMS, API, or user submission. An untrusted ssgParams value can create or overwrite files elsewhere in the build environment and alter generated artifacts or deployment output. The vulnerability affects build-time static site generation only; request-time routing and applications with entirely developer-controlled ssgParams values are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 4.13.5.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in Hono's toSSG() static site generator allows untrusted ssgParams values - such as slugs sourced from a CMS, external API, or user submission - to create or overwrite files outside the configured output directory at build time. Versions 4.12.12 through 4.13.4 are affected; the root cause is an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-39408 that fails to collapse consecutive parent-directory segments (e.g., 'a/b/../../../') in route parameter values, and also mishandles Windows drive-relative and UNC path roots. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires all of the following simultaneously: (1) the application uses Hono's toSSG() static site generator - request-time routing is not affected in any Hono version; (2) ssgParams values are sourced from an untrusted external input such as a CMS content API, external feed, or user submission, rather than being hardcoded or fully validated by the developer; and (3) a developer or automated CI/CD process actively runs the SSG build with those ssgParams. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 6.5 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) accurately reflects moderate real-world risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade Hono to version 4.13.5 or later, available at https://github.com/honojs/hono/releases/tag/v4.13.5; this release corrects the normalization routine to fully collapse consecutive parent-directory segments and properly handle Windows drive-letter and UNC path roots. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
