CVE-2026-71849 Details
Description
Hono is a Web application framework that provides support for any JavaScript runtime. From 4.7.0 to 4.12.33, the Proxy Helper proxy() function in hono/proxy does not remove response headers named by the origin's Connection header. Per RFC 9110 Section 7.6.1, an intermediary must remove the header fields listed in a message's Connection header field before forwarding the message, in addition to the well known hop by hop headers, but the proxy() function only removed the well known hop by hop headers, including Connection itself, from origin responses. A client may therefore receive response headers that the origin intended only for its immediate peer, disclosing connection scoped or internal metadata contained in such headers, when an application proxies responses from an origin that declares additional, non standard headers as hop by hop via the Connection response header. This issue is fixed in version 4.12.34.
A vulnerability exists in the Hono web application framework, specifically in versions 4.7.0 prior to 4.12.33, within the Proxy Helper's proxy() function. The issue arises because the function fails to remove response headers identified by the origin's Connection header, as required by RFC 9110 Section 7.6.1. This oversight allows the forwarding of connection-scoped headers, which could disclose internal metadata or connection-specific information to clients. The vulnerability is particularly relevant when an application proxies responses from origins that use non-standard headers in their Connection response header.
Users are advised to upgrade to Hono version 4.12.34, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
