Twig: `{% sandbox %}{% include %}` skips checkSecurity() on cached templates (incomplete fix for CVE-2024-45411)

view advisory published 2026-05-21Licence: CC-BY-4.0

### Description The fix for CVE-2024-45411 / GHSA-6j75-5wfj-gh66 added an explicit `$loaded->unwrap()->checkSecurity()` call in `CoreExtension::include()` so that a template already cached in `Environment::$loadedTemplates` is re-checked when included with `sandboxed = true`. The deprecated but still functional `{% sandbox %}{% include ... %}{% endsandbox %}` tag path was not updated: it compiles to `enableSandbox(); yield from $this->load(...)->unwrap()->yield(...); disableSandbox();` with no `checkSecurity()` re-invocation. If the included template was loaded once outside the sandbox in the same `Environment` instance, its constructor (and therefore its compiled `checkSecurity()` call) already ran while `isSandboxed()` was `false`, so the tags/filters/functions allowlist enforced by `SecurityPolicy::checkSecurity()` is never applied. An attacker who can author the included template gains access to every filter, function and tag registered in the environment, regardless of the sandbox policy. ### Resolution The compiled output of `{% sandbox %}{% include %}` now calls `checkSecurity()` on the loaded template, matching the behaviour of `CoreExtension::include()` with `sandboxed = true`. ### Credits Twig would like to thank Claude Mythos Preview (via Project Glasswing) for reporting the issue and providing the fix.
