The Twig security policy decides what a template may call by name, and it is never handed the arguments of a call — so a method that runs a callable, instantiates a class named by a string, or turns a string into raw SQL cannot be judged from its name alone. This closes the gaps that follow from that.

The policy now follows __call forwarding for Halcyon models and for components, the way it already did for the database layer. The query-builder groups cover the join/union family and the remaining raw-SQL and callable-executor methods. The wildcard markup helpers (str_*, array_*, url_*, html_*, form_*) refuse callable arguments and macro registration. Attachments and the session get explicit surfaces. The collection and paginator proxies now share one guard, so their lists cannot drift apart again, and render()/links() are limited to pagination views, because a view is plain PHP that runs outside the sandbox.

Behaviour changes

  • tap(), pipe(), when() and unless() are refused on every object a template holds, including Laravel's proxy form {{ posts.when(cond).sortBy('x') }}, which a template expresses with {% if %} instead. The Stringable when*() family goes too.
  • A wildcard markup helper refuses an argument that is, or contains at any depth, a PHP callable that is not a plain string, and refuses a string in a position the resolved method declares as callable/Closure. A list of exactly two strings is the one exception, because that is how a template writes an ordinary short list and PHP reads any such list as callable when its first value names a class that can dispatch the second — so {{ html_ul(post.tags) }} and {{ array_only(map, keys) }} keep working whatever their values spell. The callback positions this closes belong to array_map, array_first, array_last, array_where and array_build: a template that named a function there needs a Twig filter or a component method instead. This applies in every Twig environment the helpers are registered in — mail templates and .htm views included — because the guard travels with the helper rather than with the sandbox. A variadic target keeps its own classification for the arguments its signature folds into one parameter, so array_cross_join(listA, listB) accepts ordinary lists in every position.
  • Attachment fromPost, fromFile, fromStorage, fromData, fromUrl, setDataAttribute, deleteThumbs and getDisk are refused. Reading an attachment is unaffected.
  • this.session.put, forget and pull are refused for keys beginning _, admin_auth, winter_auth, login_, password_hash_ or widget., including the array forms and a key passed as a named argument. widget itself is refused too, since the store resolves keys with Arr::get() and a value written to the container is read back under the dotted key. The _ prefix is wider than the framework's own keys, so a theme that used underscore-prefixed names as its own convention has to rename them.
  • Query builder and Eloquent builder: the join/union family, selectSub, fromQuery, searchWhere, withCasts, setQuery, the aggregate and index-hint methods, and macroCall on any object. Ordinary reads on the model's own table are unaffected.
  • Halcyon write methods and from() are refused through a page, layout or partial; the read API is unaffected. A component that defines its own run, runPage, renderPage, renderPartial, renderContent, getLoader or combineAssets and calls it from a template is now refused.
  • Paginators: render() and links() accept no view name, a pagination:: view, or a view under any registered namespace's own pagination directory — system::pagination.simple-default, or acme.plugin::pagination.custom for a plugin or theme shipping its own. Any other name is refused, as is any name containing .. or either path separator. defaultView, defaultSimpleView, viewFactory, the use*() presets, mapInto() and pipeInto() are refused on a paginator.
  • Fixed by the shared guard: this.page.lists('url'), this.page.where('url', ...), this.theme.listPages().where('url', ...) and withComponent('session') return correct values again — the proxy had been nulling those names because a global url() or session() helper makes them look callable. A multi-sort specification (sortBy([['date', 'desc'], ['title', 'asc']])) also survives, since sortByMany() reads each pair with data_get() and never invokes it, while a callable nested inside a pair is still stripped. A multi-level groupBy() whose first two keys happen to name an aliased facade and a method on it is refused rather than grouped; that shape did not group before this change either, because Collection::groupBy() treats a callable array as the grouping callback instead of a list of keys.

Tests

108 methods in modules/system/tests/twig/SecurityPolicyTest.php, 14 in the new SecurityPolicyDatabaseTest.php (in-memory SQLite) and 3 in the new modules/cms/tests/classes/ControllerSandboxTest.php, each group paired with invalidation tests that legitimate template use still works. A System\Tests\Fixtures\Twig\SandboxCanary fixture counts what actually ran, so the refusals are asserted on behaviour rather than on which exception was thrown.

modules/system is green at 488 tests / 2097 assertions, modules/backend at 296 / 709 and modules/cms at 222 / 689; phpcs is clean on every changed file. Four probes from review — the session container key, the multi-sort specification, the variadic wildcard position and the non-CMS environments — were re-run against this branch to confirm each is closed or documented.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security
    • Strengthened protections for CMS templates, blocking attempts to write files, access content outside the active theme, or reach sensitive data through queries.
    • Prevented templates from invoking unsafe callbacks or changing protected session values.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Preserved normal template rendering, read-only queries, pagination, and supported page, query, and partial usage.

The Twig security policy decides what a template may call by name, and it is never handed the arguments of a call, so a method that runs a callable, instantiates a class named by a string, or turns a string into raw SQL cannot be judged from its name alone. This change closes the gaps that follow from that. The policy now follows `__call` forwarding for Halcyon models and for components, the way it already did for the database layer; the query-builder groups cover the join/union family and the remaining raw-SQL and callable-executor methods; the wildcard markup helpers (`str_*`, `array_*`, `url_*`, `html_*`, `form_*`) refuse callable arguments and macro registration; attachments and the session get explicit surfaces; and the collection and paginator proxies now share one guard, so their lists cannot drift apart again. Paginator `render()`/`links()` are limited to the pagination views, because a view is plain PHP that runs outside the sandbox.

The read-only template API is unchanged: collections, paginators, Halcyon queries, components, attachments' own metadata and the session helpers all keep working, and two collection calls that had been returning wrong results through the proxy are fixed on the way.

Behaviour changes:

- `tap()`, `pipe()`, `when()` and `unless()` are refused on every object a template holds, and so is the `Stringable` `when*()` family (`str_of(x).whenNotEmpty(...)`). This includes Laravel's proxy form, `{{ posts.when(cond).sortBy('x') }}`, which a template expresses with `{% if %}` instead. The four duplicates in the query-builder group were removed, since they are now covered globally.
- A wildcard markup helper refuses an argument that is, or contains at any depth, a PHP callable that is not a plain string, and refuses a string in a position the resolved method declares as `callable`/`Closure`. A list of exactly two strings is the one exception: that is how a template writes an ordinary short list, and PHP reads any such list as callable when its first value names a class that can dispatch the second, so `{{ html_ul(post.tags) }}` and `{{ array_only(map, keys) }}` keep working whatever their values spell. It is still refused in the positions the resolved method declares or names as a callback. `str_macro`, `html_macro`, `url_macro`, `array_macro` and the `mixin`/`flushMacros` forms are refused. Calling a macro a plugin registered still works, as do the helpers with the optional callback omitted and string arguments the target never invokes — `array_sort(x, "n")`, `array_key_by(x, "id")`, `str_replace("trim", "X", s)`, `array_get(stats, "count")`. The callback positions this closes belong to `array_map`, `array_first`, `array_last`, `array_where` and `array_build`, so a template that named a function there — `array_map(items, "strtoupper")` — needs a Twig filter or a component method instead. That applies in **every** Twig environment the markup helpers are registered in, mail templates and `.htm` views included, not only CMS templates, since the guard travels with the helper rather than with the sandbox. A variadic target keeps its own classification for the arguments its signature folds into one parameter, so `array_cross_join(listA, listB)` accepts ordinary lists in every position.
- Attachment `fromPost`, `fromFile`, `fromStorage`, `fromData`, `fromUrl`, `setDataAttribute`, `deleteThumbs` and `getDisk` are refused. Reading an attachment — `path`, `getFilename()`, `getExtension()`, `getContents()`, `getThumb()` — is unaffected.
- `this.session.put`, `forget` and `pull` are refused for keys beginning `_`, `admin_auth`, `winter_auth`, `login_`, `password_hash_` or `widget.`, including the array forms and a key passed as a named argument. `widget` itself is refused too: the session store resolves keys with `Arr::get()`, so a value written to the container is read back under the dotted key. Other keys, and `get`/`has`/`flush`, are unaffected; the `_` prefix is wider than the framework's own keys, so a theme that used underscore-prefixed names as its own convention has to rename them. The same six-method surface — `put`, `get`, `has`, `forget`, `flush`, `pull` — now also applies to a session store object handed to a template by a plugin or component, so `token()`, `all()`, `getId()`, `flash()`, `invalidate()`, `regenerate()`, `migrate()` and `save()` are refused there too, as they already were on `this.session`.
- Query builder: `join`, `joinWhere`, `leftJoin`, `leftJoinWhere`, `rightJoin`, `rightJoinWhere`, `crossJoin`, `union`, `unionAll`, `selectSub`, `selectConcat`, `aggregate`, `numericAggregate`, `lock`, `inRandomOrder`, `useIndex`, `forceIndex`, `ignoreIndex`, `whereRowValues`, `orWhereRowValues`, `mergeWheres` and `beforeQuery`. Eloquent builder: `fromQuery`, `searchWhere`, `orSearchWhere`, `withCasts`, `withAggregate` and `setQuery`. `macroCall`, the public alias of the already-blocked `__call`, is refused on any object. `count()`, `sum()`, `avg()`, `min()`, `max()`, `pluck()`, `where()`, `orderBy()`, `exists()` and `paginate()` on the model's own table are unaffected, and so are the same method names on a collection.
- Halcyon: the Halcyon Builder's write methods and `from()` are refused when reached through a page, layout or partial. The read API — `find()`, `newQuery()`, `whereFileName()`, `lists()` — is unaffected.
- Components: the CMS controller's blocked methods are refused when reached through a component. A component's own methods stay callable, but a component that defines its own `run`, `runPage`, `renderPage`, `renderPartial`, `renderContent`, `getLoader` or `combineAssets` and calls it from a template will now be refused.
- Paginators: `mapInto()` and `pipeInto()` are refused on the paginator path, as they already were on collections. `render()` and `links()` accept no view name, a `pagination::` view, or a view under any registered namespace's own `pagination` directory — `system::pagination.simple-default`, or `acme.plugin::pagination.custom` for a plugin or theme that ships its own — whichever way the name is passed. Any other name is refused, and so is a name that could leave those namespaces, which is one containing `..` or either path separator. A plugin may still register its markup as the default instead (`Paginator::defaultView()` in a service provider or plugin `boot()`), which a plain `{{ posts.render() }}` then renders. Which view a paginator uses is that application-level decision, so `defaultView`, `defaultSimpleView`, `viewFactory`, `viewFactoryResolver`, `useTailwind`, `useBootstrap`, `useBootstrapThree`, `useBootstrapFour` and `useBootstrapFive` are refused on a paginator.
- Fixed: `this.page.lists('url')`, `this.page.where('url', ...)`, `this.theme.listPages().where('url', ...)` and `withComponent('session')` return their correct values again. A multi-sort specification — `sortBy([['date', 'desc'], ['title', 'asc']])` — also survives: `sortByMany()` reads each pair with `data_get()` and never invokes it, so the pair is data, while a callable nested inside a pair is still stripped. A multi-level `groupBy()` whose first two keys happen to name an aliased facade and a method on it is refused rather than grouped; that shape did not group before this change either, because `Collection::groupBy()` treats a callable array as the grouping callback instead of a list of keys. The proxy had been nulling those names because a global `url()` or `session()` helper makes them look like callables; `withComponent()`'s second argument is a real callback and is still stripped.

Walkthrough

The change expands Twig sandbox checks for method calls, callback arguments, database queries, sessions, attachments, and paginator views. It adds shared forwarding proxies and updates safe-object casting for CMS and session objects. New tests cover blocked calls and confirm that selected read-only CMS rendering and model queries still work.

Priority: ⬆️ High

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: High

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8edef

The sandbox hardening is broad and well tested. A narrow callback-check gap remains for plugin helpers that accept nullable variadic callbacks. A test setup call can also leave plugin theme listeners active, which may make those tests unreliable. Both are small follow-up fixes.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8edef

The change substantially tightens template permissions. One low-severity issue remains in callable-argument enforcement, but the available comparison does not show that this PR introduced or worsened its exposure.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The independently attackable surface is template execution with access to the registered wildcard helpers or supplied objects, not a demonstrated cross-tenant or cross-service privilege. Registration across every non-CMS Twig environment was not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — A retained low-severity finding concerns enforcement of reflected callable argument positions: the check reads the numeric argument at each reflected position. The supplied finding leaves exploit reachability unknown. The pre-PR dispatcher had no argument check, so the available base/head comparison does not establish an introduced or worsened exposure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The wildcard dispatcher rejects macro registration and callable-shaped values before invoking a helper. Tests cover callback arguments, deferred callable setters, macro registration, and ordinary data arguments.
  • observed — Session key checks and paginator view checks run before their proxies forward calls. Named key and view arguments are resolved rather than assumed to occupy numeric position zero.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Exercise nullable, variadic, and named callable arguments against the actual registered wildcard helpers to establish the retained finding’s reachability and guard behavior.

Handle trailing arguments for nullable variadic callable parameters.

A non-nullable callable ...$fns parameter is already protected. The first supplied variadic value is at the recorded index, so foo("a", "system") is rejected. The gap remains for ?callable ...$fns: foo(null, "system") skips the recorded index, and a callee that ignores null can invoke "system" as a callable.

Remove the active-theme listeners before rendering the fixture.

Event::flush('cms.theme.getActiveTheme') flushes pushed events. It does not remove registered listeners. If a plugin registers this event, its listener can override the theme returned by Theme::getActiveTheme(). Use Event::forget() instead.

Suggested fix
-        Event::flush('cms.theme.getActiveTheme');
+        Event::forget('cms.theme.getActiveTheme');
