Joker linter executed project-local .jokerd/linter.* files during linting
Collected exploitation and prediction evidence
Risk source coverageCISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.
No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.
cve-program · CVE-2026-59172
PublishedJoker 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.

Published## Impact In Joker versions before 1.8.2, `joker --lint <file>` located a `.jokerd/` directory by walking up from the linted file and executed matching `linter.*` files from that directory before linting. Because these files are executable Joker/Clojure code, linting a file inside an untrusted repository could execute code supplied by that repository. This could be triggered by editor integrations or CI jobs that automatically run `joker --lint` on checked-out source code. ## Patches Fixed in Joker v1.8.2. Executable linter customization files are now loaded only from the user's home `.jokerd` directory (`~/.jokerd/linter.cljc`, `~/.jokerd/linter.clj`, `~/.jokerd/linter.cljs`, or `~/.jokerd/linter.joke`). Project-local `.jokerd/linter.*` files are no longer executed. ## Workarounds Users who cannot upgrade should avoid running `joker --lint` on untrusted repositories, especially through editor integrations or unattended CI. Removing or disabling project-local `.jokerd/linter.*` files before linting also avoids the code-execution path. ## Credits Reported by Younghun Ko of AhnLab (@koyokr).
