Résumé

Joker linter executed project-local .jokerd/linter.* files during linting

Détails de l’avis

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.
