Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Twig is a template language for PHP. From 3.24.0 until 3.26.0, object-destructuring assignment compiles CoreExtension::getAttribute() with the sandbox argument hardcoded to false, disabling property and method policy checks and allowing an attacker with write access to a sandboxed Twig template to read public properties or invoke public getters on objects passed to the template engine. This issue is fixed in version 3.26.0.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Twig versions 3.24.0 through 3.26.0 contain a sandbox bypass vulnerability in object-destructuring assignment where the CoreExtension::getAttribute() function compiles with the sandbox argument hardcoded to false, disabling policy checks and allowing a template attacker to read public properties or invoke public methods on sandboxed objects.

MitigationUpgrade Twig to version 3.26.0 or later to resolve the hardcoded sandbox argument, and audit any sandboxed templates for unauthorized access patterns.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check installed Twig version
    Run 'composer show twig/twig' or inspect your composer.lock file to find the installed twig/twig version number
    Affected if The version is >= 3.24.0 and < 3.26.0
  2. Verify sandbox is in use
    Check your Twig configuration for the sandbox extension being enabled, or look for 'Twig\Extension\SandboxExtension' in your code. Also check if any templates are rendered with the sandbox security policy via $twig->render($template, $context, ['sandbox'])?> or similar patterns
    Affected if Sandbox mode is enabled and applied to template rendering
  3. Inspect templates for object-destructuring syntax
    Search template files for the destructuring assignment pattern such as {% set {property} = object %} or {% set {foo, bar} = obj %} which triggers the vulnerable code path in CoreExtension::getAttribute()
    Affected if Templates contain object-destructuring assignment syntax on sandboxed objects
  4. Check for access to sandboxed object properties/methods
    Audit templates that use the sandbox extension for patterns like {{ sandboxedObject.property }} or {{ sandboxedObject.method() }} where the object originates from a sandboxed context
    Affected if Templates access properties or methods on objects that are wrapped by the sandbox extension

You are affected if your Twig version is between 3.24.0 and 3.26.0 AND you use the sandbox extension with object-destructuring assignment in your templates.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 3.26.0 or later
Fixed in 3.26.0
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Twig to version 3.26.0 or later to resolve the hardcoded sandbox argument, and audit any sandboxed templates for unauthorized access patterns.

Recommended fix High confidence

3.26.0

  1. Check current Twig version by running `composer show twig/twig` or checking your composer.json
  2. Update composer.json to require Twig version ^3.26.0 by changing the twig/twig requirement
  3. Run `composer update twig/twig` to install the fixed version
  4. Verify the installed version is 3.26.0 by running `composer show twig/twig`
  5. Test your application to ensure the upgrade does not break existing functionality
