CVE-2026-24425
Twig 2.16.x & 3.9.0-3.25.x Sandbox Bypass via SourcePolicyInterface
Twig versions 2.16.x and 3.9.0 through 3.25.x contain a sandbox bypass vulnerability when using a SourcePolicyInterface that allows attackers with template rendering capabilities to pass arbitrary PHP callables to sort, filter, map, and reduce filters. Attackers can exploit the runtime check that fails to use the current template source to bypass sandbox restrictions and execute arbitrary code when the sandbox is enabled through a source policy rather than globally.

Twig: Possible sandbox bypass when using a source policy
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
SourcePolicyInterfaceenables the sandbox for the rendered template; - The template uses one of the
sort,filter,map, orreducefilters; - 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.
