SCA: security update for hono (GHSA-f67f-6cw9-8mq4)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436738

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Hono is a Web application framework that provides support for any JavaScript runtime. Prior to 4.11.4,
 there is a flaw in Hono’s JWK/JWKS JWT verification middleware allowed the JWT header’s alg value to
 influence signature verification when the selected JWK did not explicitly specify an algorithm. This could
 enable JWT algorithm confusion and, in certain configurations, allow forged tokens to be accepted. As part
 of this fix, the JWT middleware now requires the alg option to be explicitly specified. This prevents
 algorithm confusion by ensuring that the verification algorithm is not derived from untrusted JWT header
 values. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.11.4. (CVE-2026-22817)
