Authorization Flaw in twig/twig (CVE-2026-47732)
Summary
Vulnerability in twig/twig (CVE-2026-47732). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via SandboxNodeVisitor. Mitigation: upgrade to 3.26.0 or later.
Original description

Description
SandboxNodeVisitor enforces SecurityPolicy::checkMethodAllowed() for implicit __toString() calls by wrapping selected AST nodes in CheckToStringNode. The set of wrapped nodes is incomplete, and several Twig language constructs still trigger PHP string coercion on a Stringable operand without first consulting the policy. A sandboxed template author can therefore invoke __toString() on any object reachable in the render context, even when __toString on its class is not allowlisted.
Confirmed bypass vectors:
- Conditional expressions (
a ? b : c,a ?: b,a ?? b) used as the input of a string-coercing filter or as a filter/function argument. - The
matchesoperator and the loose comparison operators (==,!=,<,>,<=,>=,<=>), which coerce aStringableoperand to string and can be used as an oracle to recover the value byte by byte (no tag, filter or function needs to be allowlisted). - Twig tests in general (which were never policy-gated), in particular
is emptywhich casts aStringablevalue via(string) $valueinCoreExtension::testEmpty(). - Null-coalesce expressions nested in concatenation, and the direct output of allowed functions or filters that return a
Stringableobject. - Arguments passed to allowed object methods, template-name expressions of template-loading tags (
include,extends,use, ...), dynamic attribute/property names, and spread arguments fromTraversableobjects. - The
dotag and the…
