CVE-2026-39409: Hono has incorrect IP matching in ipRestriction() for IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses

April 8, 2026 (updated April 24, 2026)

ipRestriction() does not canonicalize IPv4-mapped IPv6 client addresses (e.g. ::ffff:127.0.0.1) before applying IPv4 allow or deny rules. In environments such as Node.js dual-stack, this can cause IPv4 rules to fail to match, leading to unintended authorization behavior.
