Description
This is a residual bypass of CVE-2026-47732 / GHSA-pr2w-4gpj-cpq4 left after the initial fix for unguarded __toString() calls. It covers two related coercion points that were not caught by the original patch.
Traversable in join and replace filters. SandboxExtension::ensureToStringAllowed() recurses into PHP arrays so that a Stringable object hidden inside an array argument cannot be string-coerced without consulting the security policy. The recursion stops at PHP arrays: a Traversable value passed at the same position is not materialised, so its contents are not policy-checked. CoreExtension::join() and CoreExtension::replace() later materialise such Traversable inputs through self::toArray() and feed them to implode() / strtr(), both of which implicitly call __toString() on contained Stringable objects. The bypass also reproduces when the container implements both Stringable and Traversable: the container's own __toString() is policy-checked, but the elements yielded by getIterator() are not, and the consuming filters still coerce them to string.
in and not in operators. InBinary and NotInBinary compile to CoreExtension::inFilter(), which falls through to PHP's <=> operator when comparing a string with a Stringable object. PHP coerces the object to string via __toString() without the sandbox policy being consulted. Beyond the direct side effect, in can also be used as a content-leak oracle: e…
