{"id":"CVE-2026-59172","published":"2026-10-28T14:17:04.447","lastModified":"2026-10-28T16:17:08.400","description":"Joker is a small Clojure interpreter, linter and formatter written in Go. Prior to 1.8.2, `joker --lint <file>` walks upward from the linted file to locate a `.jokerd/` directory and executes matching `linter.*` files before linting. Those files contain executable Joker/Clojure code, so linting a file inside an untrusted repository can execute repository-supplied code with the linter user's privileges. Editor integrations and CI jobs that automatically lint checked-out source can trigger this behavior. The patch stops executing project-local linter customizations and loads executable customization only from the user's home directory. This issue is fixed in version 1.8.2.","cvssScore":7.8,"cvssSeverity":"HIGH","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","cwes":["CWE-829"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/candid82/joker/commit/f207521ef8abc22f30740591c3de5062c1aa628c","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/candid82/joker/security/advisories/GHSA-m835-3cm9-rggg","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/candid82/joker/tree/v1.8.2","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/candid82/joker/commit/f207521ef8abc22f30740591c3de5062c1aa628c","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/candid82/joker/security/advisories/GHSA-m835-3cm9-rggg","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/candid82/joker/tree/v1.8.2","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":null}
