CVE-2026-125122
compose-lint is a Docker Compose security linter that identifies dangerous misconfigurations before deployment. In version 0.31.0, compose-lint does not sanitize the ##[ workflow-command opener inside strings written by --format json or --format sarif to stdout. A pull request can place that opener in a service name or other Compose value, and the GitHub Actions runner recognizes it even in the middle of a serialized line when the package, pre-commit hook, or Docker image prints JSON or SARIF to the job log. Writing the output to a file and using the compose-lint GitHub Action are not affected, and the flaw does not change the lint pass or fail result. 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
- Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
