Upgrade compose-lint to version 0.32.0 or later, where this issue is fixed. The default pre-commit configuration and GitHub Actions workflows are not affected, so no additional action is required if these configurations are used.
Description
CVE-2026-125123 is a low-severity vulnerability in compose-lint version 0.31.0 where improper output neutralization for logs allows injection of workflow-command syntax into stderr output. This occurs when a repository path is passed without a preceding -- separator, enabling a carriage return to position commands at the start of a new line in GitHub Actions logs. The default pre-commit configuration and GitHub Action workflows are not affected. The issue is fixed in compose-lint version 0.32.0.
