Details

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 SourcePolicyInterface enables the sandbox for the rendered template;
  • The template uses one of the sort, filter, map, or reduce filters;
  • 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.

We would like to thank XavLim and Wade Sparks for reporting the issue and Fabien Potencier for fixing the issue.

Is GHSA-2q52-x2ff-qgfr in any of your client repos?

Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected twig/twig, and gives you the command that fixes it.
