About Hono
Hono is in a sustained security-hardening cycle, patching middleware and serverless adapters
Hono, a lightweight multi-runtime web framework, is in the middle of an extended security-hardening run. Across May and June 2026, a string of releases patched serious issues — cross-request context leakage in JSX SSR, CORS credential reflection, path traversal in serve-static, JWT validation gaps, and repeated header-handling bugs in the AWS Lambda adapters. Between the security drops, development is routine: small API additions like a public Context class and request.bytes(), plus maintenance.
