Description
The per-template filter, tag and function allow-list check is compiled into the checkSecurity() method of each Template subclass and was invoked once from the constructor, gated by SandboxExtension::isSandboxed($source). Template instances are then cached on the Environment in $loadedTemplates, so the verdict computed at construction time was sticky for the rest of the process.
Any later change of sandbox state on the same Environment left that cached verdict in place: toggling SandboxExtension::enableSandbox()/disableSandbox(), swapping the policy via setSecurityPolicy(), a SourcePolicyInterface decision flip, or simply having a parent, macro or included template pre-instantiated outside the sandbox before a sandboxed render reached it. In all of these cases, the filters, tags and functions used by the affected template kept running with the original (typically empty) check, bypassing the SecurityPolicy allow-list.
Method, property and __toString allow-lists are not affected: they are enforced at every call site at runtime through SandboxExtension::checkMethodAllowed(), checkPropertyAllowed() and ensureToStringAllowed(), which re-read the current state on every call.
Long-lived workers (FrankenPHP, RoadRunner, Symfony Messenger consumers, FPM with hot autoloading) that share a single Environment between sandboxed and non-sandboxed renders are the most exposed: a single non-sandboxed render of a shared layout pre-warms its…
