CVE-2026-126343: @hono/node-server: Unhandled `ECONNRESET` on the socket during an asynchronous WebSocket upgrade crashes the process

MediumCVSS 5.3 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: honojs node-server 2.1.6.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to honojs node-server 2.1.6 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org

@hono/node-server allows running the Hono application on Node.js. From 2.0.0 until 2.1.6, the WebSocket upgrade handler waits for the Hono application to finish asynchronous middleware or handler work without first attaching an error listener to the socket. If an unauthenticated client resets the TCP connection during that window, the socket emits an unhandled ECONNRESET error and terminates the Node.js process. If a global uncaughtException handler suppresses termination, the pending upgrade waiter is not released and repeated requests can grow the heap. This affects applications that enable WebSocket support and perform asynchronous work on the upgrade path. This issue is fixed in version 2.1.6.
