SCA: security update for github.com/candid82/joker (GHSA-m835-3cm9-rggg)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 447876

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - 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. (CVE-2026-59172)

Solution

Update the github.com/candid82/joker library and its related packages to version 1.8.2 or later.
