Echo: hono: security update to 4.13.5

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 460008

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 4.13.5,
when parseBody() expands dot-separated form field names into nested objects with dot-notation parsing
enabled, it does not limit the nesting depth or the total number of intermediate objects created. Empty
segments are preserved, so one deeply dotted field name can encode one nesting level per byte, while a
large number of shallowly dotted fields can create the same amplification across a request. A request body
within a normal size limit can therefore allocate an object graph far larger than the request after the
body has already been accepted. An unauthenticated attacker who can reach an affected endpoint can send
concurrent requests that exhaust the JavaScript heap, terminate the server process, and leave the service
unavailable until restart. Dot-notation parsing is not enabled by default, and applications using the
default behavior are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 4.13.5. (CVE-2026-84364)

Solution

Update the hono library and its related packages to version 4.13.5 or later.
