CVE-2026-49981 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.2) affecting twig. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Twig is a template language for PHP. Prior to 3.27.0, the per-template filter, tag, and function allow-list verdict is computed when a Template instance is constructed and can remain cached after sandbox state changes between renders, allowing a later sandboxed render to reuse a template that was originally checked with a different or empty policy. This issue is fixed in version 3.27.0.
