Hono vulnerable to Prototype Pollution possible through __proto__ key allowed in parseBody({ dot: true })

Advisory ansehen veröffentlicht 2026-03-11Lizenz: CC-BY-4.0

## Summary When using `parseBody({ dot: true })` in HonoRequest, specially crafted form field names such as `__proto__.x` could create objects containing a `__proto__` property. If the parsed result is later merged into regular JavaScript objects using unsafe merge patterns, this may lead to prototype pollution in the target object. ## Details The `parseBody({ dot: true })` feature supports dot notation to construct nested objects from form field names. In previous versions, the `__proto__` path segment was not filtered. As a result, specially crafted keys such as `__proto__.x` could produce objects containing `__proto__` properties. While this behavior does not directly modify `Object.prototype` within Hono itself, it may become exploitable if the parsed result is later merged into regular JavaScript objects using unsafe merge patterns. ## Impact Applications that merge parsed form data into regular objects using unsafe patterns (for example recursive deep merge utilities) may become vulnerable to prototype pollution.
