Description

mautic/mautic PR #17953 merges the 7.2.2 security release into 7.x. It brings two Theme sandbox changes into the next minor release:

• mautic/mautic PR #17620 lets Theme templates use Twig collection filters (map, filter, reduce, sort, find), but only with arrow-function callbacks.
• The 7.2.2 security fix in mautic/mautic PR #17934 (GHSA-h7pm-79gc-8867) blocks the less_compile filter. It also limits method calls and property access to Mautic and Plugin objects, with methods whose names start with get, is, or has, a denylist of sensitive getters, a short allowlist for Form templates, and an exception for __toString on Twig Markup objects so templates can output captured blocks.

On 7.2, #714 and #856 document these changes separately. Both rewrite the same short section, so this PR documents them together for 7.3 in "Template sandbox restrictions" in docs/themes/getting_started.rst:

• The intro names the blocked functions (configGetParameter, getEntity, source) and the blocked less_compile filter, and the exceptions Mautic throws.
• A new paragraph covers collection filters and arrow-function callbacks, with an example.
• New content covers the method and property rules, the Twig Markup exception, and the SecurityNotAllowedMethodError and SecurityNotAllowedPropertyError exceptions.

The merge also includes a 7.x-only follow-up (commit f7df7ee2). The core email-validation.html.twig template read form.emailAddress on a Symfony FormView, which the sandbox now rejects. PublicController now passes the field views and their state as separate variables. This PR adds those variables (form, emailAddressField, emailAddressValid, emailAddressHasErrors, submitField, template) to the html/email-validation.html.twig section, with an example validation_content override, so Theme authors who override the validation blocks don't hit the sandbox error.

ThemeSandboxPolicy on 7.x after the merge is identical to 7.2.2, so the 7.2 content applies unchanged.

Validation: Vale (repo .vale.ini) reports no errors, warnings, or suggestions on the changed lines, including the Vale.Terms error and Mautic.FeatureList findings the PR check reported earlier. A local Sphinx build resolves the new :ref: link to "Template sandbox restrictions".

Linked issue

None.

Review pass (CodeRabbit and Vale)

• Applied: CodeRabbit's method-access comment. ThemeSandboxPolicy on 7.x checks only the get/is/has name prefix, not whether a method is read-only, and it allows __toString on Twig Markup objects. The section now describes the prefix rule and the Markup exception.
• Fixed Vale: the Vale.Terms error on the :ref: target (now Themes/..., which Sphinx resolves case-insensitively), and the two Mautic.FeatureList findings ("email address field" is now "address field").

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Clarified which functions, filters, object properties, and methods are available in templates, along with the errors raised when blocked operations are attempted.
  • Added guidance on using arrow-function callbacks with collection filters and noted that string callbacks raise a RuntimeError.
  • Updated date-formatting guidance to recommend Twig’s date filter.

Walkthrough

The theme sandbox documentation now describes blocked operations, permitted collection filters and Form-template methods, access restrictions, related exceptions, and date formatting with Twig’s date filter.

Changes: Theme sandbox documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Sandbox rules and usage docs/themes/getting_started.rst	The guide names blocked functions, filters, methods, and properties, and documents permitted collection filters and Form-template methods. It specifies related exceptions and recommends Twig’s date filter instead of calling format() on date objects.

Explanation

The title names the main change, which documents Theme sandbox filter, method, and property restrictions for 7.3 in the getting-started docs. The raw summary and objectives confirm the single changed file covers these topics. The title is specific and accurate. Its parenthetical version tag is brief and does not make it misleading.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is mostly complete for a merge PR. It explains the purpose (merging the 7.2.2 security release into 7.x), lists the included changes (PR #17620 collection filters, PR #17934 security fix), names the documentation section updated, and describes the follow-up commit f7df7ee2 with new template variables. It also reports validation (Vale and a local Sphinx build) and a review pass. The template's 'Linked issue' section is present and states 'None', which is acceptable. The 'Screenshots or screen recordings' section is absent, but it applies only to UI changes, and this PR changes documentation and templates only. The description does not follow the template's section headings exactly, but it contains the required information in substance.

describe the normalized-name prefix rule for methods starting with get, is, or

Thanks, @adiati98. I'm checking each CodeRabbit suggestion against the Mautic codebase, applying the correct ones, and fixing the Vale errors and warnings. I'll reply here with what changed.

In reply to this discussion

@adiati98, I checked CodeRabbit's suggestion against ThemeSandboxPolicy.php on 7.x. It's correct, so I applied it and fixed the Vale findings. The update is pushed to this PR.

• CodeRabbit's method access comment (lines 305-309): applied.
  • The sandbox allows a method if its name starts with get, is or has and the method exists. It doesn't check whether the method is read-only, so the bullet now describes the name check and no longer says "read-only".
  • checkMethodAllowed() lets templates call __toString on a Twig Markup object, which Twig creates when a template captures a block with {% set %}...{% endset %}. A new paragraph explains this exception.
  • "Magic methods such as __toString" stays in the blocked list. On Mautic and Plugin objects, the sandbox rejects any method name that starts with __.
• Vale error (line 165): the :ref: target used lowercase themes/.... It's now Themes/getting_started:Template sandbox restrictions. A local Sphinx build confirms the link still resolves.
• Vale warnings (lines 168 and 170): "email address field" is now "address field", which matches "submitted address" elsewhere in the section.

CI runs Vale 3.7.1, and only that version flagged the :ref: target, so the PR's Vale check will confirm that fix. Also, ThemeSandboxPolicy on 7.2 has the same Markup exception, so the 7.2 PR (#856) probably has the same inaccuracy. I haven't changed #856.
