Description
Description
When using the sandbox with a `SourcePolicyInterface`, Twig does not always apply the sandbox restriction that forbids non-`Closure` callbacks for callback-accepting filters.
The issue affects the `sort`, `filter`, `map`, and `reduce` filters.
In the affected versions, the runtime check that rejects non-`Closure` callbacks in sandbox mode does not use the current template `Source`. As a result, when the sandbox is enabled through a source policy instead of being enabled globally, Twig can incorrectly treat the current execution as non-sandboxed for these callback checks.
This can allow user-controlled templates to pass arbitrary PHP callables to callback-accepting filters even though the template is being sandboxed through a source policy.
The issue happens when all these conditions are met:
• The sandbox is not enabled globally;
• A `SourcePolicyInterface` enables the sandbox for the rendered template;
• The template uses one of the `sort`, `filter`, `map`, or `reduce` filters;
• The callback is not a `Closure`.
Resolution
The patch makes callback sandbox checks source-aware by propagating the current template `Source` to callback-accepting filters and using it when deciding whether sandbox restrictions apply.
