Cookie loss via comma-joined Set-Cookie headers
Published Jun 22, 2026 · Updated Jun 22, 2026
Output encoding error in Hono before 4.12.25 allows remote attackers to make clients drop or misparse cookies in AWS Lambda responses. The AWS Lambda adapter joins separate Set-Cookie fields with commas for ALB single-header and VPC Lattice v2 responses, colliding with commas inside attributes such as Expires. Exposure requires multiple cookies per response behind an ALB in default single-header mode or VPC Lattice v2; session, CSRF, or preference cookies can fail.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
