{"id":"GHSA-r89v-cgv7-3jhx","summary":"Bypass of fix for CVE-2020-15247, Twig sandbox escape","details":"### Impact\nA bypass of CVE-2020-15247 (fixed in 1.0.469 and 1.1.0) was discovered that has the same impact as CVE-2020-15247:\n\nAn authenticated backend user with the `cms.manage_pages`, `cms.manage_layouts`, or `cms.manage_partials` permissions who would **normally** not be permitted to provide PHP code to be executed by the CMS due to `cms.enableSafeMode` being enabled is able to write specific Twig code to escape the Twig sandbox and execute arbitrary PHP.\n\nThis is not a problem for anyone that trusts their users with those permissions to normally write & manage PHP within the CMS by not having `cms.enableSafeMode` enabled, but would be a problem for anyone relying on `cms.enableSafeMode` to ensure that users with those permissions in production do not have access to write & execute arbitrary PHP.\n\n### Patches\nIssue has been patched in Build 470 (v1.0.470) and v1.1.1.\n\n### Workarounds\nApply https://github.com/octobercms/october/commit/d34fb8ab51108495a9a651b841202d935f4e12f7 to your installation manually if unable to upgrade to Build 470 or v1.1.1.\n\n### References\nReported by [ka1n4t](https://github.com/ka1n4t)\n\n### For more information\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n* Email us at [hello@octobercms.com](mailto:hello@octobercms.com)\n\n### Threat assessment:\n\u003cimg width=\"1108\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2020-10-10 at 1 21 13 PM\" src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7253840/95663316-7de28b80-0afb-11eb-999d-a6526cf78709.png\"\u003e","aliases":["CVE-2020-26231"],"modified":"2026-05-08T04:59:50.091465057Z","published":"2020-11-23T20:54:18Z","database_specific":{"severity":"LOW","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2020-11-23T20:53:51Z","nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-862"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/octobercms/october/security/advisories/GHSA-r89v-cgv7-3jhx"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-26231"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/octobercms/october/commit/d34fb8ab51108495a9a651b841202d935f4e12f7"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-94vp-rmqv-5875"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"october/cms","ecosystem":"Packagist","purl":"pkg:composer/october/cms"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"1.0.469"},{"fixed":"1.0.470"}]}],"versions":["1.0.469","v1.0.469"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2020/11/GHSA-r89v-cgv7-3jhx/GHSA-r89v-cgv7-3jhx.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L"}]}
