Twig: Sandbox state regression in deprecated internal wrappers in `src/Resources/core.php`
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Description
The 3.26.0 source-policy hardening changed the signature of `CoreExtension::checkArrow()` to take a boolean `$isSandboxed` instead of an `Environment`, and added the same `$isSandboxed` argument to `CoreExtension::arraySome()` and `CoreExtension::arrayEvery()`. Compiled templates were updated to pass the per-source sandbox state computed at the call site.
The deprecated internal wrappers exposed in `src/Resources/core.php` for legacy third-party code (`twig_check_arrow_in_sandbox()`, `twig_array_some()`, `twig_array_every()`) were not updated:
- `twig_array_some()` and `twig_array_every()` call `CoreExtension::arraySome()` / `arrayEvery()` without forwarding the sandbox state. The underlying methods default `$isSandboxed` to `false`, so the callable-must-be-a-`Closure` restriction is silently bypassed in sandbox mode and a string callable such as `'strcmp'` is accepted.
- `twig_check_arrow_in_sandbox()` passes the `Environment` object where `CoreExtension::checkArrow()` now expects a `bool`, which throws a `TypeError` on PHP 8+.
Compiled Twig templates are not affected: they call `CoreExtension::*` directly with the correct arguments. Applications are only impacted if they still call the deprecated `twig_*` helpers on top of a sandboxed `Environment`.
### Resolution
The three wrappers now resolve the current sandbox state via `twig_resolve_is_sandboxed()` (the same helper compiled templates use), and forward it to the corresponding `CoreExtension::*` method. `twig_check_arrow_in_sandbox()` no longer triggers a `TypeError`, and `twig_array_some()` / `twig_array_every()` now enforce the same sandbox restriction as compiled templates.
### Credits
We would like to thank El Kharoubi Iosif for reporting the issue and Fabien Potencier for providing the fix.
