  "details": "## Impact\n\nIn Joker versions before 1.8.2, `joker --lint \u003cfile\u003e` 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.\n\nThis could be triggered by editor integrations or CI jobs that automatically run `joker --lint` on checked-out source code.\n\n## Patches\n\nFixed in Joker v1.8.2. Executable linter customization files are now loaded only from the user\u0027s 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.\n\n## Workarounds\n\nUsers 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.\n\n## Credits\n\nReported by Younghun Ko of AhnLab (@koyokr).",
