AI-suggested

Upgrade honojs hono to version 4.12.16 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Since the vendor advisory confirms the fix in 4.12.16, applying this official update is the recommended remediation. Patch status is not explicitly stated beyond this version update, so check the vendor advisory for any additional guidance.

Description

Hono is a Web application framework that provides support for any JavaScript runtime. Prior to 4.12.16, Improper handling of JSX element tag names in hono/jsx allowed unvalidated tag names to be directly inserted into the generated HTML output. When untrusted input is used as a tag name via the programmatic jsx() or createElement() APIs during server-side rendering, specially crafted values may break out of the intended element context and inject unintended HTML. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.12.16.
