CVE-2026-44646

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

LiquidJS is a Shopify/GitHub Pages compatible template engine written in pure JavaScript. In versions 10.25.7 and below, Context.spawn() creates a child Context for the {% render %} tag but does not propagate the parent context's resolved ownPropertyOnly value, resulting in a silent bypass. The new context re-derives ownPropertyOnly from opts.ownPropertyOnly (the instance-level option), silently discarding any RenderOptions.ownPropertyOnly override that was supplied to parseAndRender(). As a result, a developer who runs a Liquid instance with the backwards-compatible ownPropertyOnly:false and then locks down an untrusted render with parseAndRender(..., { ownPropertyOnly: true }) still leaks prototype-chain properties from inside any {% render %} partial. This is a distinct exploit surface from the previously identified array-filter variants (where, reject, group_by, find, find_index, has) — the underlying root cause in Context.spawn() is shared, but {% render %} is a separately reachable sink that needs no filter usage. This issue has been fixed in version 10.26.0.

      "value": "LiquidJS es un motor de plantillas compatible con Shopify/GitHub Pages escrito en JavaScript puro. En las versiones 10.25.7 e inferiores, Context.spawn() crea un Context hijo para la etiqueta {% render %} pero no propaga el valor ownPropertyOnly resuelto del contexto padre, lo que resulta en un bypass silencioso. El nuevo contexto vuelve a derivar ownPropertyOnly de opts.ownPropertyOnly (la opción a nivel de instancia), descartando silenciosamente cualquier anulación de RenderOptions.ownPropertyOnly que se haya proporcionado a parseAndRender(). Como resultado, un desarrollador que ejecuta una instancia de Liquid con la opción ownPropertyOnly:false compatible con versiones anteriores y luego restringe una renderización no confiable con parseAndRender(..., { ownPropertyOnly: true }) aún filtra propiedades de la cadena de prototipos desde dentro de cualquier parcial {% render %}. Esta es una superficie de exploit distinta de las variantes de filtro de array identificadas previamente (where, reject, group_by, find, find_index, has) - la causa raíz subyacente en Context.spawn() es compartida, pero {% render %} es un sumidero alcanzable por separado que no necesita el uso de filtros. Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 10.26.0."
