Summary
compose-lint, a Docker Compose security linter, can have its text output manipulated through Compose file content so that GitHub Actions or Azure Pipelines workflow commands are injected into CI logs. An attacker can reach this remotely, without logging in, but it requires a user action such as a workflow processing a pull request, and the result is misleading CI output (false annotations, hidden log regions, or masked strings) rather than any change to the linter's pass or fail result.

Read the original description
compose-lint is a Docker Compose security linter that identifies dangerous misconfigurations before deployment. Prior to 0.31.0, compose-lint prints attacker-controlled service names, environment keys, file lines, and other Compose text without neutralizing GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines workflow-command openers. When a workflow processes a pull request, legacy ##[ commands or a line-leading double-colon command can create false annotations, hide log regions, mask selected strings, or invoke other commands recognized by the runner. The affected text report paths do not alter the compose-lint exit code or pass or fail result, but they can misrepresent the CI output presented to reviewers. This issue is fixed in version 0.31.0.
