CVE-2026-46627
HIGH 7.1Twig is a template language for PHP. Prior to 3.26.0, the Twig sandbox does not prevent a template from consuming CPU, memory, or wall-clock time, even under the strictest allow-list, allowing untrusted templates to cause resource exhaustion. This issue is addressed in version 3.26.0 by documenting that the sandbox does not protect against resource exhaustion.
Severe if exploited (CVSS 7.1), but no known exploitation and low modeled probability. Patch on a normal cadence.
