CVE-2026-112771 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-19

Craft CMS is a content management system that allows authenticated users to create and manage website content through a control panel. A flaw in Craft CMS's Twig template sandbox allows authenticated control panel users to bypass security restrictions and read sensitive configuration data including encryption keys, database credentials, and authentication tokens. This vulnerability requires the Twig sandbox security feature to be enabled (which is disabled by default) and authenticated access to the control panel.

## How to fix

- Fixed in 4.18.8, 5.11.0

## Technical details

Six Twig filters (column, contains, filterByValue, index, where, multisort) registered as sandbox-allowlisted resolve caller-supplied string keys through ArrayHelper::getValue() without consulting the sandbox SecurityPolicy, allowing dot-path graph traversal. Authenticated control panel users can exploit this to access non-allowlisted getters and traverse the craft global object to disclose securityKey, database credentials, and auth tokens. This is a read-only vulnerability; arbitrary code execution is not possible since Closures cannot be constructed in Twig templates.

## Affected products

- Craft CMS 4.0.0 before 4.18.8, 5.0.0 before 5.11.0
