Application crash via malformed Host header
Published Apr 19, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Improper exception handling in Hono @hono/node-server 1.3.0 through 1.10.0 allows remote attackers to crash applications via a malformed Host header. The newRequest function concatenates the unvalidated Host value into a URL constructor, and the resulting ERR_INVALID_URL escapes the request listener. No authentication or user interaction is required; one crafted request can stop the Node.js application and deny service.
