# TwigView for CakePHP: unserialize filter lets attackers run code

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-59192 (this .md is for agents)

The TwigView plugin for CakePHP exposes an unserialize filter that accepts any class, so it can be used as a deserialization gadget. An attacker who can supply data to that filter may be able to execute remote code.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed TwigView version in `composer.lock` or with `composer show`.
- Look for use of the `unserialize` filter in Twig templates of the application.

## Fix

- Upgrade TwigView to `1.3.3` on the 1.x line.
- Upgrade TwigView to `2.1.2` on the 2.x line.

- [fix] Release notes: github.com https://github.com/cakephp/twig-view/releases/tag/2.1.2

## From the sources

TwigView plugin for CakePHP provides wrappers for common View operations and extensions that expose CakePHP functions and jasny/twig-extensions helpers. Prior to versions 1.3.3 and 2.1.2, the unserialize filter has no restriction on which classes are allowed. This can used as a deserialization remote-code-execution gadget. This issue has been patched in versions 1.3.3 and 2.1.2.
