Summary
Twig: HTML-output filters in twig/* extras incorrectly declared `is_safe => ['all']`
Details

Description

Several filters in the twig/* extras packages are registered with is_safe => ['all'], which tells Twig's autoescaper to treat their output as safe in every context (html, js, css, url, ...). The output of these filters is plain text or HTML markup, neither of which is safe in every escaping context.

Affected filters:

  • html_to_markdown (twig/markdown-extra) emits plain Markdown text. league/html-to-markdown decodes HTML entities when producing code spans and fenced blocks, so an attacker-controlled <code>&lt;img src=x onerror=alert(1)&gt;</code> becomes `<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>`, which renders live when interpolated into an HTML page.
  • markdown_to_html (twig/markdown-extra) emits HTML. Safe in an HTML context but not in JS, CSS or URL contexts (e.g. when interpolated into an inline <script> block).
  • inline_css (twig/cssinliner-extra) emits HTML with inlined styles. Same constraint as markdown_to_html.

In all three cases, is_safe => ['all'] causes the autoescaper to emit the output verbatim in any context, even when the developer never wrote |raw. In a context such as a JS string or a URL parameter, this produces unescaped HTML and is exploitable as XSS.

Resolution

  • html_to_markdown no longer claims to be safe in any escaping context; its plain-text output is now autoescaped for the surrounding context.
  • markdown_to_html and inline_css are now declared is_safe => ['html'], asserting only what they actually guarantee.

Credits

Twig would like to thank Claude Mythos Preview (via Project Glasswing) for reporting the issue and providing the fix for html_to_markdown and markdown_to_html in twig/markdown-extra, and Christophe Coevoet for extending the audit to inline_css in twig/cssinliner-extra.
