description

Smarty versions before 4.5.8 and Smarty 5.x versions before 5.8.5 can write attacker-influenced content into regenerated template cache files during multi-component inheritance. An attacker able to control assigned template data may cause PHP code to execute when an affected cached template is loaded.

mitigation

Upgrade smarty/smarty to 5.8.5, 4.5.8 or later.

fixed in 5.8.5, 4.5.8
