CVE-2026-47673 PUBLISHED

Hono: JWT middleware accepts any Authorization scheme, not only Bearer

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 19.05.2026 Published: 28.05.2026 Updated: 28.05.2026

Hono is a Web application framework that provides support for any JavaScript runtime. Prior to 4.12.21, the jwt and jwk middlewares do not verify that the Authorization header value uses theBearer scheme. Any two-part header value — regardless of the scheme name in the first position — proceeds to JWT verification. A request presenting a valid JWT under a non-Bearer scheme identifier (such as Basic or Token) is authenticated identically to a correctly formed Bearer request. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.12.21.
