Description
The 3.26.0 source-policy hardening changed the signature of CoreExtension::checkArrow() to take a boolean $isSandboxed instead of an Environment, and added the same $isSandboxed argument to CoreExtension::arraySome() and CoreExtension::arrayEvery(). Compiled templates were updated to pass the per-source sandbox state computed at the call site.
The deprecated internal wrappers exposed in src/Resources/core.php for legacy third-party code (twig_check_arrow_in_sandbox(), twig_array_some(), twig_array_every()) were not updated:
twig_array_some()andtwig_array_every()callCoreExtension::arraySome()/arrayEvery()without forwarding the sandbox state. The underlying methods default$isSandboxedtofalse, so the callable-must-be-a-Closurerestriction is silently bypassed in sandbox mode and a string callable such as'strcmp'is accepted.twig_check_arrow_in_sandbox()passes theEnvironmentobject whereCoreExtension::checkArrow()now expects abool, which throws aTypeErroron PHP 8+.
Compiled Twig templates are not affected: they call CoreExtension::* directly with the correct arguments. Applications are only impacted if they still call the deprecated twig_* helpers on top of a sandboxed Environment.
Resolution
The three wrappers now resolve the current sandbox state via twig_resolve_is_sandboxed() (the same helper compiled templates use), and forward it to the corresponding CoreExtension::* method. twig_check_arrow_in_sandbox() no longer triggers a TypeError, and twig_array_some() / twig_array_every() now enforce the same sandbox restriction as compiled templates.

We would like to thank El Kharoubi Iosif for reporting the issue and Fabien Potencier for providing the fix.
Is GHSA-p42q-9prx-q5wq 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.
