Hono is a Web application framework that provides support for any JavaScript runtime. Prior to 4.12.12, 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. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.12.12.

## Summary
`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.
## Details
The middleware classifies client addresses based on their textual form. Addresses containing "`:`" are treated as IPv6, including IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses such as `::ffff:127.0.0.1`. These addresses are not normalized to IPv4 before matching.
As a result:
* IPv4 static rules (e.g. `127.0.0.1`) do not match because the raw string differs
* IPv4 CIDR rules (e.g. `127.0.0.0/8`, `10.0.0.0/8`) are skipped because the address is treated as IPv6
For example, with:
`denyList: ['127.0.0.1']`
a request from `127.0.0.1` may be represented as `::ffff:127.0.0.1` and bypass the deny rule.
This behavior commonly occurs in Node.js environments where IPv4 clients are exposed as IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses.
## Impact
Applications that rely on IPv4-based `ipRestriction()` rules may incorrectly allow or deny requests.
In affected deployments, a denied IPv4 client may bypass access restrictions. Conversely, legitimate clients may be rejected when using IPv4 allow lists.
