AI-suggested

A fix is available in hono version 4.13.16. Until patched, applications can mitigate this issue by rejecting requests with Content-Type 'text/ping' in middleware registered before csrf(), or by setting session cookies with SameSite=Strict. Users should upgrade to hono 4.13.16 or later to fully remediate the vulnerability.

Description

The hono framework's csrf() middleware does not validate requests with the Content-Type 'text/ping', which are sent by Chromium-based browsers' hyperlink auditing feature. This allows cross-origin POST requests with user cookies to bypass CSRF protections if the state-changing action does not depend on the request body. The vulnerability affects hono versions prior to 4.13.16.
