Description
CodeRepositoryParser._extract_zip()callszipfile.extractall()without validating member paths. An attacker can craft a malicious zip containing entries like../../evil.txt,/etc/passwd,C:\evil.txt,..\..\evil.txt,\server\share\evil.txt, or symlink entries to write files outside the target directory during extraction (Zip Slip, CWE-22).This PR replaces
extractall()with per-member extraction and implements 5-layer defense-in-depth:info.is_dir()+stat.S_ISDIR) — directories are created implicitly when extracting their childrenstat.S_ISLNK) — prevents symlink-based escapes to external pathsValueErrorif raw path contains..components, is absolute, or has a drive letterzipfile._extract_member, then verify withPath.is_relative_to()ValueErrorif it escapesRelated Issue
No existing issue. Vulnerability discovered via code audit.

Checklist
Additional Notes
Behavioral impact: No change for legitimate zip files.
extractall()is replaced with equivalent per-memberextract()calls (internally,extractallis just a loop overextract). The only new behavior is raisingValueErroron malicious entries.Performance impact: Negligible. All added checks are in-memory string operations (
split,replace,is_relative_to) with no additional I/O.Fail-fast design decision: The implementation raises
ValueErrorimmediately upon detecting a malicious entry, rather than skipping it and continuing. A zip containing malicious entries is considered untrustworthy as a whole — continuing to extract remaining members carries risk. Fail-fast ensures the caller is notified and can handle the exception.Python compatibility: The project requires Python 3.9+, and
zipfile's built-in../sanitization was only added in Python 3.12+. On Python 3.9–3.11,extractall()performs no path traversal protection at all, making this fix necessary. Even on Python 3.12+, this fix provides independent defense covering attack vectors thatzipfiledoes not handle (symlink entries, absolute paths, drive letter paths).
