Hono: Path traversal in toSSG() allows writing files outside the output directory
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
A path traversal issue in `toSSG()` allows files to be written outside the configured output directory during static site generation. When using dynamic route parameters via `ssgParams`, specially crafted values can cause generated file paths to escape the intended output directory.
## Details
The static site generation process creates output files based on route paths derived from application routes and parameters. When `ssgParams` is used to provide values for dynamic routes, those values are used to construct output file paths. If these values contain traversal sequences (e.g. `..`), the resulting output path may resolve outside the configured output directory. As a result, files may be written to unintended locations instead of being confined within the specified output directory.
For example:
```ts
import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { toSSG, ssgParams } from 'hono/ssg'
const app = new Hono()
app.get('/:id', ssgParams([{ id: '../pwned' }]), (c) => {
return c.text('pwned')
})
toSSG(app, fs, { dir: './static' })
```
In this case, the generated output path may resolve outside `./static`, resulting in a file being written outside the intended output directory.
## Impact
An attacker who can influence values passed to `ssgParams` during the build process may be able to write files outside the intended output directory.
Depending on the build and deployment environment, this may:
* overwrite unintended files
* affect generated artifacts
* impact deployment outputs or downstream tooling
This issue is limited to build-time static site generation and does not affect request-time routing.
