Summary

CVE-2025-58362 is a high-severity Use of Incorrectly-Resolved Name or Reference (CWE-706) vulnerability in Hono Hono. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Path Interception (T1034); ranked at the 42th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Hono is a Web application framework that provides support for any JavaScript runtime. Versions 4.8.0 through 4.9.5 contain a flaw in the getPath utility function which could allow path confusion and potential bypass of proxy-level ACLs (e.g. Nginx location blocks).…

more

The original implementation relied on fixed character offsets when parsing request URLs. Under certain malformed absolute-form Request-URIs, this could lead to incorrect path extraction depending on the application and environment. If proxy ACLs are used to protect sensitive endpoints such as /admin, this flaw could have allowed unauthorized access. The confidentiality impact depends on what data is exposed: if sensitive administrative data is exposed, the impact may be high, otherwise it may be moderate. This issue is fixed in version 4.9.6.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Access enforcement applies authorization checks to the resolved resource, blocking access outside the intended sphere.

Information flow enforcement can constrain flows that result from an incorrectly resolved name or reference.

Secure-development practices directly prevent incorrect name/reference resolution bugs during coding.

Enforced authorization boundaries limit damage from an incorrectly resolved reference.

PR.IR-01 partial match

Logical segmentation and access controls reduce the chance an out-of-sphere resolution succeeds.

Hardened configuration baselines can constrain allowable name-to-resource mappings.

finds

Security testing can detect incorrect name or reference resolution through fuzzing and negative test cases.

degrades

Network segmentation and routing policies reduce the chance that a mis-resolved name leads to an unintended external resource.

degrades

Segregated networks limit the blast radius when a name or reference resolves outside the intended control sphere.

prevents

Secure SDLC practices include design reviews that can catch incorrect name or reference handling before deployment.

prevents

Application security requirements can mandate validation of all external references and names used at runtime.

prevents

Secure architecture principles discourage reliance on ambient or globally-resolvable names without explicit scoping.
