AI-suggested

Upgrade compose-lint to version 0.32.0 or later, where this symbolic link following and partial disclosure issue is fixed. No other specific mitigation is required as the vulnerability is resolved in the fixed release.

Description

compose-lint versions from 0.2.0 up to but not including 0.32.0 have a vulnerability where symbolic links to external .compose-lint.yml policy files are followed. If the external file fails YAML parsing, about 30 characters around the parse error position can be leaked in error outputs and GitHub Action logs. This could expose sensitive information such as runner credential file contents. The issue is fixed in version 0.32.0.
