CVE-2026-123370

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

compose-lint is a Docker Compose security linter that identifies dangerous misconfigurations before deployment. From 0.9.0 until 0.18.0, compose-lint's YAML parser recognizes lone carriage returns and Unicode line separators U+0085, U+2028, and U+2029 as line breaks while fix position conversion counts only newline characters. A pull request can place one of these separators in a quoted value so fix --apply shifts each later edit and deletes the line after the selected target, including an unselected network or other security setting. The resulting Compose file can remain valid, post-edit checks can pass, and the command can report a successful fix even though the dry-run diff was the only place showing the extra deletion. This issue is fixed in version 0.18.0.
