The Twig filter’s arrow argument is invoked without the guard that every other arrow-accepting filter has. takes the non-string branch for any non-string . A Twig array literal such as is a valid PHP array-callable, is not a string, and is invoked with two attacker-controlled arguments — arbitrary static/instance method invocation. When combined with , this writes an attacker-controlled webshell to the webroot, an authenticated RCE requiring no gadget. Reachability gate (identical to published advisory GHSA-f5wm-88jv-g5hx): (default false) plus authenticated Control Panel access, via B2 element-select condition rules ( , reachable by lower-privilege control panel editors). ## Impact An authenticated control panel user can achieve a remote code execution as the web user, no gadget required.
