GHSA-qp7p-654g-cw7p
MEDIUMGHSA-qp7p-654g-cw7p is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.3) vulnerability in hono. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-qp7p-654g-cw7p is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Hono has CSS Declaration Injection via Style Object Values in JSX SSR
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, a proxy for how much of the ecosystem is exposed.
hononpmDescription
Summary
The JSX renderer escapes style attribute object values for HTML but not for CSS. Untrusted input in a style object value or property name can therefore inject additional CSS declarations into the rendered style attribute. The impact is limited to CSS and does not allow JavaScript execution or HTML attribute breakout.
Details
style object values are serialized into a CSS declaration list and escaped for HTML attribute context only. Characters that act as CSS declaration boundaries — such as ;, comment markers, quoted strings, and block delimiters — are valid in HTML attribute content and can extend a value beyond its assigned property.
This issue arises when untrusted input is interpolated into a JSX style object and rendered server-side.
Impact
An attacker who can control the value or property name of a style object may inject arbitrary CSS declarations. This may lead to:
- Visual manipulation of the page, including full-viewport overlays usable for phishing
- Outbound requests to attacker-controlled hosts via CSS resource references such as
url(...) - Hijacking of UI affordances through layout, positioning, or visibility changes
This issue affects applications that render JSX on the server with style object values or property names derived from untrusted input.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for hono. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update hono to 4.12.18 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-qp7p-654g-cw7p is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-qp7p-654g-cw7p is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-qp7p-654g-cw7p. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-qp7p-654g-cw7p in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-qp7p-654g-cw7p across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
