Two gaps in how @import resolution is bounded to the asset tree.

Requires assetic/framework v3.2.3 (assetic-php/assetic#53), released 2026-09-15 — composer.json is bumped accordingly.

LESS — confinement didn't follow the import graph

LessImportResolver bounds resolution by colliding with the path-form import dir less.php auto-adds for the current file's directory. That entry is re-created for every file less.php parses, keyed by that file's own directory — and it's also consulted by data-uri() / image-size(). We only claimed the entry asset's directory, so anything imported from another directory resolved unconfined.

makeResolver() now registers a resolver for each directory it admits, so the collision follows the import graph. The key-normalisation moves into importDirKey() so registration and the initial build share one implementation — worth keeping in one place, since getting it wrong doesn't fail loudly, it just silently stops colliding (and differs on Windows).

SCSS — never wired up at all

LESS, CSS and JavaScript all got the allowed-root policy; ScssCompiler never did. scssphp resolves @import against the configured import paths and the importing file's own directory, both with .. traversal allowed.

ScssCompiler now uses HasAllowedImportRoots and installs a validator through the new assetic hook. Import paths configured on the filter are mirrored into the allowed roots so legitimate cross-tree imports still resolve — the parent stores them privately, hence the local mirror.

Tests

+9, all verified in both directions by reverting each fix and re-running:

LessCompilerTesttestBlocksTraversalFromAnImportedSubdirectoryFile and testBlocksDataUriFileReadFromAnImportedSubdirectoryFile both fail without the resolver change. testAllowsNestedPartialChain guards the legitimate case.

ScssCompilerTest (new, mirrors LessCompilerTest) — the three confinement tests fail without the compiler change; testAllowsLegitimateSameTreePartial, testAllowsNestedPartialChain and testAllowsCrossTreeImportWhenRootIsWhitelisted guard normal use.

Full suite: 837 tests, 3324 assertions, 0 failures (828 before). phpcs clean — includes removing one stray blank line in LessCompilerTest that pre-dates this branch but would now be linted as a changed file.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Restricted LESS and SCSS imports to the asset’s directory and explicitly allowed locations.
    • Blocked path traversal, absolute-path imports, and unintended file reads from nested imported files.
    • Preserved valid same-tree, nested, and explicitly approved cross-directory imports.
  • Security

    • Improved protection against unintended access to files outside configured import locations.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for blocked traversal scenarios and supported nested import workflows.

LessImportResolver confines @import resolution by colliding with the
path-form import dir less.php auto-adds for the current file's directory.
That entry is re-created for every file less.php parses, keyed by that
file's own directory, and it is also consulted by data-uri() and
image-size(). Claiming only the entry asset's directory therefore left
anything imported from another directory resolving unconfined.

makeResolver() now registers a resolver for each directory it admits, so
the collision follows the import graph. The key-normalisation logic moves
into importDirKey() so registration and the initial build share it.
The allowed-root policy applied to the LESS, CSS and JavaScript compilers
was never wired into ScssCompiler, so scssphp resolved @import against the
importing file's own directory with `..` traversal allowed and resolution
was not bounded to the asset tree.

ScssCompiler now uses HasAllowedImportRoots and installs a validator via
ScssphpFilter::setImportValidator(), which requires assetic/framework
^3.2.3. Import paths configured on the filter are mirrored so they count as
allowed roots, preserving legitimate cross-tree imports.

Adds ScssCompilerTest, mirroring the existing LessCompilerTest coverage.

Walkthrough

The assetic/framework constraint was updated to ^3.2.3. LESS import gating now follows admitted directories through nested imports and file functions. ScssCompiler now validates imports against the source directory, configured paths, and allowed roots. Tests cover blocked traversal and absolute imports, nested imports, same-tree imports, and whitelisted cross-tree imports.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f6a40

Callable-configured SCSS imports may fail to compile, but the affected workflow is bounded and ordinary string-based imports remain supported.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve callable import paths.

addImportPath() accepts callables, but withinAny() ignores every callable in configuredImportPaths. If a trusted callable resolves a file outside sourceDirectory, the validator rejects that configured import.

Track paths admitted by callable importers, or define a compatible mechanism that associates each callable with an allowed root.

SCSS string literals treat a backslash as an escape, so embedding a raw
Windows path in the @import statement mangled it -- scssphp never saw a
resolvable target and raised a compile error instead of the import being
refused by the validator. The path is now written with forward slashes.

A refused import also differs by platform: scssphp either emits the
statement verbatim or raises a compile error. Both are refusals, so the
test accepts either and asserts only that the file is not inlined.

🟡 Changes recommended

Nested LESS imports can lose the entry root, while recursive SCSS dependency extraction can validate sibling imports against the wrong directory.

Use the canonical path and file helpers.

Replace the manual separator conversion with PathResolver::standardize().

Replace file_put_contents() with Symfony Filesystem::dumpFile().

This keeps fixture creation consistent with the required platform normalization and atomic-write behavior.

As per coding guidelines: “Use Storm's PathResolver::resolve(), within(), join(), and standardize() for … platform normalization” and “Use Symfony Filesystem::dumpFile() for atomic file writes.”
