CVE-2026-46629 — Twig: Unbounded formatter memoisation in twig/intl-extra keyed on template-controlled arguments

Twig is a template language for PHP. Prior to 3.26.0, twig/intl-extra memoises IntlDateFormatter and NumberFormatter instances in arrays keyed by template-controlled filter arguments such as locale, pattern, and attrs, allowing a template to allocate many ICU formatter objects that remain pinned for the lifetime of the Twig\Environment. This issue is fixed in version 3.26.0.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • Technical severity (medium)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

  • Documented patch — github.com (NIST National Vulnerability Database)

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Symfony Twig, Twigphp Twig).
  2. Apply the fixed version or the patch documented under Remediation.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (denial of service), errors and authentication anomalies.
