Twig is a template language for PHP. Prior to 3.26.0, {% sandbox %}{% include %} can include a template that was previously loaded outside the sandbox without re-invoking checkSecurity(), allowing the cached template to use tags, filters, and functions that should have been denied by SecurityPolicy::checkSecurity(). This issue is fixed in version 3.26.0.

- GHSA-7fxw-r6jv-74c8Twig: `{% sandbox %}{% include %}` skips checkSecurity() on cached templates (incomplete fix for CVE-2024-45411)2026-05-21ghsa · osvUS
### 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.
