What is CVE-2022-39261?

CVE-2022-39261 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Debian Debian Linux, published on 28 Sep 2022. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

Twig is a template language for PHP. Versions 1.x prior to 1.44.7, 2.x prior to 2.15.3, and 3.x prior to 3.4.3 encounter an issue when the filesystem loader loads templates for which the name is a user input. It is possible to use the `source` or `include` statement to read arbitrary files from outside the templates' directory when using a namespace like `@somewhere/../some.file`. In such a case, validation is bypassed. Versions 1.44.7, 2.15.3, and 3.4.3 contain a fix for validation of such template names. There are no known workarounds aside from upgrading.

Weakness: CWE-22
