Twig is a template language for PHP. Prior to 3.27.0, the per-template filter, tag, and function allow-list verdict is computed when a Template instance is constructed and can remain cached after sandbox state changes between renders, allowing a later sandboxed render to reuse a template that was originally checked with a different or empty policy. This issue is fixed in version 3.27.0.
CVE-2026-49981
This high-severity CVE scores 8.2 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.4%, top 71% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
