Description
A vulnerability in compose-lint versions from 0.32.0 up to but not including 0.33.0 allows exposure of sensitive information from .env files. The issue arises because the tool's remediation for secret disclosure is incomplete when the number of findings exceeds 20,000, causing resolved secret values to be emitted in output formats such as text, JSON, SARIF, and Code Scanning. This can occur if a workflow writes secrets into a sibling .env file and lints untrusted changes. The vulnerability is fixed in version 0.33.0.
