      <title>GHSA-frvp-7c67-39w9 — Node.js Adapter for Hono: Path traversal in `serve-static` on Windows via encoded backslash (`%5C`)</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/ghsa-frvp-7c67-39w9</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; npm: @hono/node-server&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The same as the `hono` core [Path traversal in `serve-static` on Windows via encoded backslash (`%5C`)](https://github.com/honojs/hono/security/advisories/GHSA-wwfh-h76j-fc44).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Summary&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Windows hosts, an encoded backslash (`%5C`) in the request path decodes to `\`, which the Windows path resolver treats as a separator. `serve-static` then resolves a single URL segment such as `admin\secret.txt` into a nested file under the root and serves it, letting an attacker read static files meant to be protected behind prefix-mounted middleware. Directory escape (`..`) remains blocked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Details&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The router splits paths only on `/`, so `/admin%5Csecret.txt` is one segment and middleware on `/admin/*` does not run. The `serve-static` guard rejects `.`/`..` and consecutive separators but lets a lone `\` through; on Windows the file resolver re-splits it into the protected subtree.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This affects Windows hosts serving static files via the Node, Bun, or Deno adapters that guard a static subtree with prefix-mounted middleware.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Impact&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An unauthenticated attacker can read static files under a middleware-guarded prefix on Windows hosts. The read stays within the configured root; escape outside the root is not possible.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
