Vulnerability in twig/twig (CVE-2026-24425)
Summary
Vulnerability in twig/twig (CVE-2026-24425). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Exploitable via SourcePolicyInterface. Mitigation: upgrade to 3.26.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Description
When using the sandbox with a SourcePolicyInterface, Twig does not always apply the sandbox restriction that forbids non-Closure callbacks for callback-accepting filters.
The issue affects the sort, filter, map, and reduce filters.
In the affected versions, the runtime check that rejects non-Closure callbacks in sandbox mode does not use the current template Source. As a result, when the sandbox is enabled through a source policy instead of being enabled globally, Twig can incorrectly treat the current execution as non-sandboxed for these callback checks.
This can allow user-controlled templates to pass arbitrary PHP callables to callback-accepting filters even though the template is being sandboxed through a source policy.
The issue happens when all these conditions are met:
- The sandbox is not enabled globally;
- A
SourcePolicyInterfaceenables the sandbox for the rendered template; - The template uses one of the
sort,filter,map, orreducefilters; - The callback is not a
Closure.
Resolution
The patch makes callback sandbox checks source-aware by propagating the current template Source to callback-accepting filters and using it when deciding whether sandbox restrictions apply.
