decompress@4.2.1 has an unpatched CVSS-9.1 Zip Slip vulnerability (GHSA-mp2f-45pm-3cg9 + two related advisories). The package is unmaintained (last release Feb 2020); no upstream fix is coming.

Replacement: adm-zip@0.6.1.

Why adm-zip@0.6.1:

  • Zero known CVEs (verified via npm audit — see below).
  • CJS package; direct require() works, no ESM incompat.
  • Node engine >= 14.0 — safe for the CLI's practical Node 14+ floor. (The @xhmikosr/decompress fork was rejected because it is ESM-only from 5.0.0 and requires Node 20+ at 11.x — either blocker breaks existing customers.)
  • No transitive dependencies (self-contained; supply-chain surface limited to adm-zip itself).
  • 19M+ weekly downloads.
  • Actively maintained: 0.6.1 was published 2026-09-11 specifically to close two prior advisories (GHSA-xcpc-8h2w-3j85 memory exhaustion and GHSA-vwc7-r8mq-g2x9 symlink Zip Slip). The fix commits are real code work — eaa35fa7 ("Blocked extraction from writing through symlinks inside the target"), plus stripped setuid/setgid/sticky bits, rejected duplicate entry names, enforced decompression size caps.

Also considered and rejected:

  • extract-zip@2.0.1: two unpatched HIGH symlink Zip Slip advisories (GHSA-jmr9-qjv8-65gv, GHSA-7pqw-9j4j-h8q3), last publish June 2020, fixAvailable:false. Same class of unmaintained-with-open-CVEs problem as decompress.
  • @xhmikosr/decompress@11.1.3: ESM-only across all versions (type: module) and requires Node >= 20; either breaks CJS require or breaks existing customers on Node 14/16/18.

Flow preserved: both call sites keep the existing
"primary + unzipper.Extract fallback" pattern. Only the primary lib changes.

API swap:

  • decompress(zipPath, targetDir) -> Promise<Files[]>
  • new AdmZip(zipPath).extractAllToAsync(targetDir, /*overwrite*/ true) -> Promise Both call sites already discarded the Files[] return value, so the shape difference is a no-op.

Local verification:

  • node --check on both changed source files: OK
  • npm ls adm-zip: adm-zip@0.6.1 present
  • npm ls decompress: empty (vulnerable pkg gone; the remaining decompress-response is an unrelated HTTP-body decompressor).
  • grep decompress in source (excl. lockfile/node_modules): 0 hits
  • npm audit — adm-zip subtree: 0 vulnerabilities. Other pre-existing tree vulns unchanged: 10 (identical to master).
  • npm test: 723 passing / 2 pending / 16 failing — byte-identical to master baseline (the 16 failures are pre-existing flakes, unrelated to this PR).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Downloaded artifacts continue to be extracted when the primary extraction method fails, using a fallback method.
    • HTML report archives are extracted into the target folder with existing files overwritten. Extraction failures are reported and set an error exit status.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Both archive extraction helpers now use adm-zip instead of decompress. The build-artifact helper retains its unzipper fallback. The HTML-report helper rejects extraction errors and sets the process exit code. Unit tests and runtime dependencies are updated.

Changes

Archive Extraction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build artifact extraction
package.json, bin/helpers/buildArtifacts.js, test/unit/bin/helpers/buildArtifacts.js
The build-artifact helper uses adm-zip to extract archives with overwrite enabled and retains the unzipper fallback. Unit tests stub AdmZip and check the archive path, destination, and overwrite option.
HTML report extraction
bin/helpers/reporterHTML.js, test/unit/bin/helpers/reporterHTML.js
The HTML-report helper extracts with adm-zip. It resolves after successful extraction; on error, it rejects and sets the process exit code. Unit tests cover resolved and rejected extraction.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to adc6c

The archive extraction migration preserves completion and failure handling. No actionable runtime risk remains before merge.

A rabbit checks the archive door,
Then hops through paths from root to floor.
If one unzipper takes a rest,
A fallback tries to do its best.
Fresh files land, tests mark the way.
The rabbit bounds into the day.

Apply the Constants rule only to the new build fallback message.

The buildArtifacts.js message is a new winstonLogger.debug string. Define it in the appropriate Constants bucket and reference the constant.

The reporterHTML.js string is pre-existing. The change only moves the same text into the promise result, so no Constants change is required for that site.
