Technical details
The vulnerability exists in hono/jsx's server-side rendering (renderToString/renderToReadableStream) where plain strings in Suspense fallbacks, ErrorBoundary children with async siblings, Context.Provider single children, and root values are treated as pre-escaped markup without HTML entity escaping. An attacker controlling such strings during server-side rendering can inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript. The issue was patched in version 4.13.7; affected versions before that are vulnerable.
