Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: twigphp
Product: Twig

Description

Twig versions from 3.9.0 up to but not including 3.26.0 have a protection mechanism failure in the template_from_string() function. This function compiles inner templates under synthesized names that can bypass sandbox security policies, allowing sandboxed templates to render inner templates without enforcement of security restrictions. The issue is fixed in version 3.26.0.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-46634 describes a vulnerability in twigphp's Twig template engine where the template_from_string() function, present in versions 3.9.0 through 3.25.x, compiles inner templates under synthesized names that may fall outside the scope of the SourcePolicyInterface sandbox. This allows a sandboxed template that can call template_from_string and include to render an inner template without the sandbox's security policy being applied, constituting a protection mechanism failure (CWE-693). The vulnerability is addressed in Twig version 3.26.0.

Potential Impact

An attacker able to execute sandboxed templates could bypass sandbox restrictions and render inner templates without security policy enforcement, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution or information disclosure within the sandboxed environment. The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.7 (high severity) reflects the network attack vector, low attack complexity, partial privileges required, no user interaction, and high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Mitigation Recommendations

This vulnerability is fixed in Twig version 3.26.0. Users should upgrade to version 3.26.0 or later to remediate this issue. No official patch or temporary fix is indicated other than upgrading. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on user action to update the affected software.
