CVE-2026-59172: Joker linter executed project-local .jokerd/linter.* files during linting

September 9, 2026

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.
