CVE-2026-111757: Hono serveStatic middleware bypass via double decoding

CVE-2026-111757 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-10-13

Hono is a web framework used to build HTTP applications. A vulnerability in its serveStatic static file serving component allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication or authorization middleware by sending specially crafted URLs that are decoded twice. This could expose protected files to unauthorized access.

Technologies: Hono, hono (npm). Vendors: Hono, npm.

```

Technical details

The serveStatic component decodes the request path a second time after Hono's router has already decoded it once. By sending a malformed percent-encoded path, an attacker can cause the router to match the encoded form while serveStatic resolves the decoded form, bypassing middleware mounted on static paths. This affects applications that use middleware (such as authentication) to protect parts of their static file directories.
