Astro: composable astro/hono pipeline bypasses security.checkOrigin when middleware() is absent or misordered

GHSA-8mv7-9c27-98vc

More information

Details

Summary

In the composable astro/hono pipeline, the security.checkOrigin protection is only installed by the middleware() primitive. The actions() and pages() primitives each dispatch to user code independently, so a pipeline that mounts either primitive before (or without) middleware() will bypass the origin check for those requests.

Details

security.checkOrigin (default: true) is intended to reject cross-site POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE form submissions. In the classic pipeline (astro() all-in-one), the check always runs because Astro injects a virtual middleware module even when the user has no src/middleware.ts. In the composable astro/hono pipeline, the user assembles primitives manually. The check is only installed inside middleware() — so:

  • Mounting actions() before middleware() allows cross-origin form-encoded action requests to execute before the gate runs. The examples/advanced-routing example and the Cloudflare hono docs shipped this order.
  • Omitting middleware() entirely (reasonable for apps with no custom middleware) silently drops checkOrigin protection for all on-demand endpoints and pages dispatched through pages().

The attack is a blind write-only CSRF: the attacker can trigger a state-mutating action or endpoint handler using the victim's cookies, but cannot read the cross-origin response body.

Affected versions

Astro >= 7.0.0 when using the composable astro/hono pipeline with either:

  • actions() mounted before middleware(), or
  • pages() used without middleware()

The default (non-composable) pipeline is not affected.

Fix

The origin check is now applied at each dispatch sink (ActionHandler.handle and PagesHandler.handleWithErrorFallback), gated on manifest.checkOrigin, using the same predicate as the middleware. The check is order-independent and a no-op when middleware() has already run.

Fix: https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/17250

Workaround

Ensure middleware() is mounted before both actions() and pages() in the composable pipeline, and that it is always included even when no custom middleware logic is needed:

app.use(middleware());
app.use(actions());
app.use(pages());

Astro: Reflected XSS via unescaped View Transition animation properties

GHSA-4g3v-8h47-v7g6

More information

Details

Summary

Astro's server-side View Transition CSS generator interpolates animation properties into an inline <style> element without escaping them for the CSS and HTML contexts.

An attacker-controlled value passed to an animation property such as duration can contain a </style> sequence, terminate the generated style element, and inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript.

This is similar to GHSA-8hv8-536x-4wqp, but exploits a different injection point: unescaped View Transition animation values in a server-generated <style> element rather than an unescaped slot name in a hydration template.

Like GHSA-8hv8-536x-4wqp, exploitation requires an application to pass attacker-controlled data to an Astro API. However, the value is subsequently inserted into the HTML response without context-appropriate escaping by Astro.

Details

packages/astro/src/runtime/server/transition.ts

The generated stylesheet is wrapped in a <style> element and marked as HTML-safe:

const css = sheet.toString();
result._metadata.extraHead.push(markHTMLString(`<style>${css}</style>`));

Animation properties are added to the stylesheet without escaping:

if (anim.duration) {
  addAnimationProperty(builder, 'animation-duration', toTimeValue(anim.duration));
}

For string values, toTimeValue() returns the input unchanged:

export function toTimeValue(num: number | string) {
  return typeof num === 'number' ? num + 'ms' : num;
}

As a result, a duration value containing </style> can escape from the generated style element.

Other TransitionAnimation properties, including easing, direction, delay, fillMode, and name, are serialized by the same animation builder. The following PoC only relies on the official fade() helper and its duration option.

PoC

Using:

  • astro@7.0.9
  • @astrojs/node@11.0.2
astro.config.mjs
import node from '@&#8203;astrojs/node';
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';

export default defineConfig({
  output: 'server',
  adapter: node({ mode: 'standalone' }),
});
src/pages/index.astro
---
import { fade } from 'astro:transitions';

const duration = Astro.url.searchParams.get('duration') ?? '300ms';
---

<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>PoC</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div transition:animate={fade({ duration })}>
      Animated content
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
Payload:

open:

http://localhost:4321/?duration=%3C%2Fstyle%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(1)%3C%2Fscript%3E%3C!--

The browser interprets </style> as the end of the generated style element and executes the injected script. An alert dialog is displayed when the page is opened.

image
Impact

An attacker who can control a View Transition animation value can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the origin of the affected Astro application.

The query-based reflected XSS scenario affects on-demand/server-rendered routes, such as:

  • projects configured with output: "server";
  • pages using export const prerender = false;
  • other server-side data flows that pass attacker-controlled values into a View Transition animation definition.

Successful exploitation may allow access to sensitive page data and authenticated actions available to the victim.

Suggested Fix

Animation values should be serialized using context-appropriate CSS escaping or validation before being added to the generated stylesheet.

Additionally, content inserted into a raw <style> element must not be able to contain an HTML end-tag sequence such as </style>. The final generated CSS should be made safe for the HTML raw-text context before it is passed to markHTMLString().

Astro: XSS via unescaped spread attribute names in renderHTMLElement (incomplete fix for CVE-2026-54298)

CVE-2026-59729 / GHSA-f48w-9m4c-m7f5

More information

Details

Summary

The fix for CVE-2026-54298 (GHSA-jrpj-wcv7-9fh9) added an INVALID_ATTR_NAME_CHAR guard to addAttribute() so that spread-prop attribute names containing "' >/= or whitespace are dropped. A second attribute-rendering path, renderHTMLElement() in packages/astro/src/runtime/server/render/dom.ts, has its own inline attribute loop that does not go through addAttribute() and was not updated. It interpolates the attribute name unescaped and only escapes the value, so untrusted prop keys spread onto a native-HTMLElement-subclass component can still break out of the attribute context, resulting in XSS.

Details

renderHTMLElement builds attributes directly:

for (const attr in props) {
  attrHTML += ` ${attr}="${toAttributeString(await props[attr])}"`;
}

The attribute name (attr) is interpolated raw; only the value is escaped via toAttributeString. By contrast, the hardened addAttribute in util.ts rejects invalid names:

if (INVALID_ATTR_NAME_CHAR.test(key)) { return ''; } // /[\s"'>/=]/

renderHTMLElement is reached from component.ts when the component is a native HTMLElement subclass:

if (!renderer && typeof HTMLElement === 'function' && componentIsHTMLElement(Component)) {
  const output = await renderHTMLElement(result, Component, _props, slots);
}

where _props carries spread props verbatim.

Reachability

The branch only runs when typeof HTMLElement === 'function' at SSR time. In default Node SSR HTMLElement is undefined, so the branch is dead. It becomes reachable when the SSR runtime exposes a global HTMLElement (Deno, Bun with a DOM shim, or jsdom/happy-dom in Node) and a class extending HTMLElement is used directly as an Astro component that receives untrusted-keyed spread props.

Proof of Concept

Given malicious spread props:

const maliciousProps = {
  'onmouseover=alert(document.domain) x': 'y',
  'x><script>alert(1)</script>': 'z',
};
  • addAttribute (post-fix) → <my-el></my-el> (key stripped — safe)
  • renderHTMLElement<my-el onmouseover=alert(document.domain) x="y" x><script>alert(1)</script>="z"></my-el> (handler + <script> injected — XSS)

Equivalent Astro template, served by an SSR runtime that defines a global HTMLElement:

---
import MyElement from '../MyElement.js'; // class MyElement extends HTMLElement {}
const userInput = Astro.url.searchParams;  // untrusted keys
---
<MyElement {...Object.fromEntries(userInput)} />
Impact

Cross-site scripting (CWE-79) via attribute-name breakout — the same vulnerability class as CVE-2026-54298, in a code path its fix did not cover. An attacker who controls the keys of an object spread onto a native-HTMLElement-subclass component can inject arbitrary event-handler attributes or sibling elements (including <script>) into the SSR output. Reachability is constrained by the runtime and component preconditions described above.

Minor Changes
  • #​17302 5f4dc03 Thanks @​astrobot-houston! - Adds a new deferRender option to the glob() content loader

    When set to true, renderable entries (such as Markdown) are not rendered during content sync. Instead, rendering is deferred until the entry is actually rendered in a page, using the same on-demand path that .mdx files already use.

    This reduces memory usage during astro build for large collections whose rendered output is much larger than the source — for example, Markdown that uses heavy rehype plugins like rehype-katex. Such builds could previously run out of memory while storing the eagerly-rendered HTML for every entry.

    // src/content.config.ts
    import { defineCollection } from 'astro:content';
    import { glob } from 'astro/loaders';
    
    const docs = defineCollection({
      loader: glob({ pattern: '**/*.md', base: 'src/content/docs', deferRender: true }),
    });

    By default deferRender is false, preserving the existing behavior of rendering entries eagerly during sync so their rendered HTML can be cached across builds.

  • #​17296 30698a2 Thanks @​ematipico! - Adds a new experimental collectionStorage option for controlling how the content layer persists its data store

    By default, Astro serializes the entire content layer data store to a single file (.astro/data-store.json). For very large content collections, this file can grow large enough to hit platform file-size limits.

    Set experimental.collectionStorage: 'chunked' to instead split the data store across many smaller, content-addressed files inside a .astro/data-store/ directory, described by a manifest:

    // astro.config.mjs
    import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
    
    export default defineConfig({
      experimental: {
        collectionStorage: 'chunked',
      },
    });

    Because each part file is named by a hash of its contents, unchanged parts keep the same name across builds and are not rewritten, and identical parts are deduplicated. The default value is 'single-file', which preserves the current behavior.

  • #​17214 44c4989 Thanks @​ematipico! - Adds support for the more specific CSP directives script-src-elem, script-src-attr, style-src-elem, and style-src-attr through a new kind option.

    Previously, CSP was only scoped to generic script-src/style-src directives. Now each source or hash can be scoped to a narrower directive — for example, to allow inline style attributes (such as those from define:vars or Shiki) without loosening the policy for your <style> and <link> elements.

Scoping sources and hashes in your config

Each entry in resources and hashes can be an object with a kind property. Depending on whether you use scriptDirective or styleDirective, "element" targets script-src-elem or style-src-elem, "attribute" targets script-src-attr or style-src-attr, and "default" (the same as a bare string or hash) targets script-src or style-src.

// astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';

export default defineConfig({
  security: {
    csp: {
      scriptDirective: {
        resources: [{ resource: 'https://cdn.example.com', kind: 'element' }],
      },
      styleDirective: {
        resources: [{ resource: "'unsafe-inline'", kind: 'attribute' }],
      },
    },
  },
});
Scoping at runtime

The same kind option is available on the runtime CSP API, where the existing methods now also accept an object:

ctx.csp.insertScriptResource({ resource: 'https://cdn.example.com', kind: 'element' });
ctx.csp.insertStyleResource({ resource: "'unsafe-inline'", kind: 'attribute' });
  • #​17258 84814d4 Thanks @​astrobot-houston! - Adds a new format() option to the paginate utility. The format() option is a function that accepts the current URL of the page, and returns a new URL.

    For example, when your host only supports URLs using the .html extension, you can use format() to add it to the generated URLs:

    ---
    export async function getStaticPaths({ paginate }) {
      // Load your data with fetch(), getCollection(), etc.
      const response = await fetch(`https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon?limit=150`);
      const result = await response.json();
      const allPokemon = result.results;
    
      // Return a paginated collection of paths for all items
      return paginate(allPokemon, {
        pageSize: 10,
        format: (url) => `${url}.html`,
      });
    }
    
    const { page } = Astro.props;
    ---
  • #​17331 7db6420 Thanks @​matthewp! - Adds a --ignore-lock flag to astro dev for starting a dev server without checking or writing the lock file, so it can run alongside an already-running dev server for the same project.

    The new instance is not tracked by astro dev stop, astro dev status, or astro dev logs. --ignore-lock cannot be combined with --background (or an auto-detected AI agent environment, which runs dev servers in the background automatically) or --force, since those rely on the lock file.

    astro dev --ignore-lock
  • #​17389 16de021 Thanks @​florian-lefebvre! - Allows passing URL entrypoints when configuring the logger

    Matching other APIs like session drivers or font providers, the logger entrypoint can now be a URL:

    import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
    
    export default defineConfig({
      logger: {
        entrypoint: new URL('./logger.js', import.meta.url),
      },
    });
Patch Changes
  • #​17332 4407483 Thanks @​astrobot-houston! - Fixes the JSON logger crashing with process is not defined in non-Node runtimes like Cloudflare's workerd. The JSON logger now uses console.log/console.error instead of process.stdout/process.stderr, matching the pattern already used by the console logger.

  • #​17391 186a1e7 Thanks @​florian-lefebvre! - Fixes a case where an integration could not update the logger with updateConfig()

  • #​17394 d9f99e1 Thanks @​matthewp! - Fixes element-specific CSP directives to preserve the existing behavior of configured script and style resources

  • #​17374 b2d1b3e Thanks @​astrobot-houston! - Fixes dev server returning 404 for ?url imported assets when accessed via browser navigation

  • #​17390 ed71eaf Thanks @​florian-lefebvre! - Removes an unused and undocumented generic from the AstroLoggerDestination type

  • #​17393 092da56 Thanks @​matthewp! - Hardens generated transition styles, development metadata, and server island URLs when embedding dynamic values

v7.0.9

Patch Changes
  • #​17286 a249317 Thanks @​astrobot-houston! - Fixes the first browser visit after astro dev starts triggering an immediate full page reload

  • #​17369 a94d4a5 Thanks @​adamchal! - Fixes an issue where a client island could permanently fail to hydrate if the first attempt to load its component failed. Islands now reliably recover from transient import failures, which previously did not work for React components during astro dev.

v7.0.8

Patch Changes

v7.0.7

Patch Changes
  • #​17318 23a4120 Thanks @​astrobot-houston! - Fixes CSS module scoped-name hash mismatch in astro dev when using vite.css.transformer: 'lightningcss' with content collections. Previously, a component importing a CSS module and rendered via content collection render() would get different class name hashes in the element and the injected <style> tag, causing styles not to apply.

  • #​17323 4298883 Thanks @​ematipico! - Fixes a dev server memory leak which caused Node.js to emit warnings in the console.

  • #​17323 4298883 Thanks @​ematipico! - Fixes a dev server crash when a .html or /index.html suffixed request (such as those netlify dev probes as pretty-URL fallbacks) matched a dynamic endpoint route, causing a TypeError: Missing parameter error

  • #​17325 cebc404 Thanks @​astrobot-houston! - Fixes a bug where CSS @import rules could end up mid-stylesheet after inline CSS chunks were merged during build, causing browsers to silently ignore them

  • #​17323 4298883 Thanks @​ematipico! - Fixes a build regression that could leave unresolved preload markers in inlined scripts with external dynamic imports

  • Updated dependencies [4298883, 4298883]:

v7.0.6

Compare Source

Patch Changes
  • #​17261 79aa99c Thanks @​astrobot-houston! - Fixes a false deprecation warning for markdown.gfm and markdown.smartypants when using the Container API

  • #​17247 f94280d Thanks @​chatman-media! - Fixes route generation throwing "Missing parameter" (or silently dropping the segment) when a dynamic param's value is 0. The generator used truthy checks instead of checking for undefined, so paginate(posts, { params: { categoryId: 0 } }) would crash even though 0 is a perfectly valid param value.

  • #​17278 6f11739 Thanks @​astrobot-houston! - Fixes missing CSS for virtual style modules (e.g., responsive image layout styles) in dev mode when JavaScript is disabled

  • #​17250 0b30b35 Thanks @​matthewp! - Fixes the security.checkOrigin check so it is applied consistently to Astro Actions and on-demand endpoints, regardless of how the request pipeline is composed. Previously, the origin check could be skipped in the composable astro/hono pipeline depending on the order of the middleware() primitive (or when it was omitted).

  • #​17274 8c3579b Thanks @​astrobot-houston! - Fixes missing render() type overload for live collection entries. Previously, calling render() on a LiveDataEntry produced a TypeScript error when using only live.config.ts without a content.config.ts.

  • #​17257 4208297 Thanks @​astrobot-houston! - Fixes astro check failing to find @astrojs/check and typescript when astro is installed in a directory outside the project tree (e.g. pnpm virtual store)

  • #​17272 b428648 Thanks @​matthewp! - Fixes island component paths so that extensionless imports (e.g. import { Counter } from '../components/Counter') resolve to the real file on disk, matching Vite's extension order and directory index resolution. This makes the include/exclude options of JSX renderer integrations (React, Preact, Solid) match components imported without a file extension, and removes the spurious React 19 "Invalid hook call" warning logged on every request in dev when include was set alongside another JSX renderer

  • #​17279 2aeaa44 Thanks @​astrobot-houston! - Fixes a bug where <Picture inferSize> with a remote image could fail with FailedToFetchRemoteImageDimensions when the image server rate-limits requests (e.g. HTTP 429). Remote dimensions are now resolved once per render instead of once per output format.

  • #​17251 5240e26 Thanks @​matthewp! - Hardens the handling of attribute rendering when using with custom elements.

  • #​17248 429bd62 Thanks @​astrobot-houston! - Fixes a crash when using Astro's getViteConfig with Vitest browser mode (e.g., Storybook vitest runner). Astro now skips dev server setup inside Vitest, preventing errors.

  • #​17260 14524c0 Thanks @​matthewp! - Fixes a regression where a <script> inside a component rendered through Astro.slots.render() was hoisted out of its original position instead of staying next to its component content
