## Summary `TemplateContext.Reset()` claims that a `TemplateContext` can be reused safely on the same thread, but it does not clear `CachedTemplates`. If an application pools `TemplateContext` objects and uses an `ITemplateLoader` that resolves content per request, tenant, or user, a previously authorized include can be served to later renders without calling `TemplateLoader.Load()` again. ## Details The relevant code path is: - `TemplateContext.Reset()` only clears output, globals, cultures, and source files in `src/Scriban/TemplateContext.cs` lines 877–902. - `CachedTemplates` is initialized once and kept on the context in `src/Scriban/TemplateContext.cs` line 197. - `include` resolves templates through `IncludeFunction.Invoke()` in `src/Scriban/Functions/IncludeFunction.cs` lines 29–43. - `IncludeFunction.Invoke()` calls `TemplateContext.GetOrCreateTemplate()` in `src/Scriban/TemplateContext.cs` lines 1249–1256. - If a template path is already present in `CachedTemplates`, Scriban returns the cached compiled template and does **not** call `TemplateLoader.Load()` again. This becomes a security issue when `ITemplateLoader.Load()` returns request-dependent content. A first render can prime the cache with an admin-only or tenant-specific template, and later renders on the same reused `TemplateContext` will receive that stale template even after `Reset()`. --- ## Proof of Concept ### Setup ```bash mkdir scriban-poc1 cd scriban-poc1 dotnet new console --framework net8.0 dotnet add package Scriban --version 6.6.0 ``` ### `Program.cs` ```csharp using Scriban; using Scriban.Parsing; using Scriban.Runtime; var loader = new SwitchingLoader(); var context = new TemplateContext { TemplateLoader = loader, }; var template = Template.Parse("{{ include 'profile' }}"); loader.Content = "admin-only"; Console.WriteLine("first=" + template.Render(context)); context.Reset(); loader.Content = "guest-view"; Console.WriteLine("second=" + template.Render(context)); sealed class SwitchingLoader : ITemplateLoader { public string Content { get; set; } = string.Empty; public string GetPath(TemplateContext context, SourceSpan callerSpan, string templateName) => templateName; public string Load(TemplateContext context, SourceSpan callerSpan, string templatePath) => Content; public ValueTask<string> LoadAsync(TemplateContext context, SourceSpan callerSpan, string templatePath) => new(Content); } ``` ### Run ```bash dotnet run ``` ### Actual Output ``` first=admin-only second=admin-only ``` ### Expected Output ``` first=admin-only second=guest-view ``` The second render should reload the template after `Reset()`, but it instead reuses the cached compiled template from the previous render. --- ## Impact This is a cross-render data isolation issue. Any application that reuses `TemplateContext` objects and uses a request-dependent `ITemplateLoader` can leak previously authorized template content across requests, users, or tenants. The issue impacts applications that: - Pool or reuse `TemplateContext` - Call `Reset()` between requests - Use `include` - Resolve include content based on request-specific state
