    <p>
    Smarty is a template engine for PHP. The "template security" feature of
    Smarty is designed to help reduce the risk of a system compromise when
    you have untrusted parties editing templates.

  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    A vulnerability has been discovered within the regex_replace modifier
    of the Smarty templates when allowing access to untrusted users.
    Furthermore, it was possible to call functions from {if} statements and
    {math} functions.
    </p>

  <impact type="high">
