Description
This is a residual bypass of CVE-2026-46635 / GHSA-vcc8-phrv-43wj that only affects sandboxing enabled through SourcePolicyInterface (and not the regular global sandbox mode).
CoreExtension::column() receives the active sandbox state via the needs_is_sandboxed channel as a boolean $isSandboxed, but then routes the per-element property reads through SandboxExtension::checkPropertyAllowed() without forwarding the current Source. SandboxExtension::checkPropertyAllowed() re-evaluates isSandboxed($source) internally; with $source = null the SourcePolicyInterface-driven decision is lost, the method short-circuits to "not sandboxed", and the property allowlist is never consulted.
A template author whose sandbox is gated by a SourcePolicyInterface and who has column on their allowedFilters list can therefore read any public or magic property of any object reachable in the render context, regardless of SecurityPolicy::$allowedProperties. Direct attribute access to the same property is blocked, and the same payload is also blocked under global sandbox mode, which makes this a clear policy enforcement gap rather than a configuration issue.
Resolution
CoreExtension::column() no longer goes through the SandboxExtension wrapper for the property check. It calls the security policy directly: the per-source decision is already captured by the $isSandboxed boolean computed at the call site, so the property allowlist is enforced consist…
