CVE-2026-123371

compose-lint is a Docker Compose security linter that identifies dangerous misconfigurations before deployment. From 0.2.0 until 0.32.0, compose-lint automatically follows a .compose-lint.yml policy-file symbolic link outside the project and includes part of the target line when that external file fails YAML parsing. A pull request can point the policy file at a runner credential file, causing about 30 characters around an attacker-uncontrolled parse position to appear in standard error, JSON errors, and SARIF tool execution notifications uploaded by the GitHub Action. The run exits with an error and the attacker cannot select the exact disclosed line, but public logs or Code Scanning output can reveal part of the target. This issue is fixed in version 0.32.0.

Affected products and versions

NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.

Remediation & validation

  1. Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
  2. Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
  3. Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
  4. Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.

No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
