• npm hono: < 4.13.7 → fixed in 4.13.7

Description

Summary `hono/jsx` does not HTML-escape a plain string placed directly as a child or `fallback` of `Suspense` or `ErrorBoundary`, as the only child of a `Context.Provider`, or as the root value of `renderToString()` / `renderToReadableStream()` from `hono/jsx/dom/server`. Such a string is emitted as markup instead of text. Details These paths stringify their input and treat the result as already-escaped HTML, so a plain string passes through unchanged. Notable cases: • `Suspense`: a string child, or a string `fallback` while a child suspends. With streaming, the fallback reaches the browser in the initial chunk. • `ErrorBoundary`: a string child alongside an asynchronous sibling. The all-synchronous case was fixed in 4.11.7 (GHSA-9r54-q6cx-xmh5). • `Context.Provider`: a single string child. Multiple children are escaped. • `hono/jsx/dom/server`: a string, or an array containing strings, passed as the root. A lone `{children}` forwarded by a wrapper component is enough to reach these paths. Strings wrapped in an element, values from `raw()` or the `html` helper, and client-side rendering with `hono/jsx/dom` are not affected. Impact An attacker who controls a string rendered in an affected position can inject arbitrary HTML into the server-rendered page, leading to cross-site scripting under the application's origin. This issue affects applications that render untrusted strings directly in one of the positions above during server-side rendering.
