CVE-2026-46640
Last modified
CVE-2026-46640 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Twig is a template language for PHP. From 3.15.0 until 3.26.0, _self.(<string>) and import-alias dynamic attribute syntax can concatenate an attacker-controlled string into a MacroReferenceExpression name without identifier validation, causing raw PHP to be emitted into the generated template source and executed at template-load time. EPSS estimates a 0.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
