Summary

Archive extraction lacked strict resource budgets, allowing high-expansion ZIP/TAR archives to consume excessive CPU/memory/disk during install/update flows.

Affected Packages / Versions

• openclaw (npm): <= 2026.2.13
• clawdbot (npm): <= 2026.1.24-3

Details

Affected component: src/infra/archive.ts (extractArchive).

The extractor now enforces resource budgets (entry count and extracted byte limits; ZIP also enforces a compressed archive size limit) and rejects over-budget archives.
