Summary

  • AdapterInstaller.InstallAsync handed the cloud-storage read stream directly to new ZipArchive(stream). That stream isn't seekable, and ZipArchive needs to seek to read the central directory - so .NET silently buffers the entire archive into one in-memory MemoryStream before extraction can even start.
  • Invisible for small adapters. For a large one (DevExpress-sized, ~413MB uncompressed) it's a one-time multi-hundred-MB spike layered on top of whatever the host process already holds - enough to OOM the host on a memory-constrained container, before the child adapter process ever spawns.
  • Confirmed live on a real 768Mi-limited staging pod: installing a large adapter package pushed it from a ~190MB baseline straight to its ceiling in one call.
  • Fix: download to a temp file first (bounded copy-buffer regardless of archive size), then open ZipArchive from that file - a FileStream is seekable, so no internal buffering happens, and ExtractToFile streams straight to disk.

Verification

  • Existing suite: dotnet test SW.Serverless.UnitTests — 73/73 passing.
  • Local repro against a real large adapter package (a DevExpress-based reporting adapter, ~413MB uncompressed): host process peak RSS during a full install-and-render run dropped from an OOM to 124MB.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

AdapterInstaller.InstallAsync handed the cloud-storage read stream
straight to `new ZipArchive(stream)`. ZipArchive needs a SEEKABLE stream
to read the central directory, and the cloud-storage stream isn't
seekable - so .NET silently buffers the ENTIRE archive into one
in-memory MemoryStream before ZipArchive can do anything with it.

For a small adapter this is invisible. For a large one (DevExpress-sized,
several hundred MB uncompressed) it's a one-time multi-hundred-MB spike
on top of whatever else the host process is already holding - on a
memory-constrained container this alone can OOM the host before the
child adapter process ever spawns. Confirmed live: installing a
413MB-uncompressed adapter package pushed a 768Mi-limited pod from a
~190MB baseline to its ceiling in one call.

Fix: download to a temp file first (bounded copy-buffer regardless of
archive size), then open ZipArchive from that file - a FileStream is
seekable, so no internal buffering happens, and extraction streams
straight to disk the whole way. Verified locally: host process peak RSS
during a full install-and-render run dropped from an OOM to 124MB.

Review Change Stack

📝 Summary

Summary

  • Downloads adapter ZIP streams to a uniquely named temporary file.
  • Opens the file with a seekable FileStream before ZipArchive extraction.
  • Deletes the temporary file in a best-effort finally block.
  • Leaves entry iteration, path handling, and error cleanup unchanged.

Risk: risk:low

Security-sensitive areas:

  • Temporary file creation and cleanup.
  • Existing archive path handling is unchanged.
  • No public API changes.

Test coverage impact:

  • 73/73 existing unit tests pass.
  • A large-package test reduced peak host RSS to 124 MB and avoided the previous out-of-memory failure.

Operational concerns:

  • Adapter installation now requires temporary disk space.
  • Disk-full and cleanup failures remain possible and should be monitored.
  • No migration or deployment changes are required.
  • Rollback restores the previous memory-intensive behavior.

Walkthrough

InstallAsync now downloads the remote ZIP archive to a temporary file, opens it with a seekable FileStream, and deletes the temporary file after processing.

Changes

Adapter archive installation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Temporary archive extraction
SW.Serverless/Services/AdapterInstaller.cs
InstallAsync stages the remote archive in a temporary file before opening it with ZipArchive. A finally block performs best-effort cleanup. Existing extraction and error-path cleanup remain unchanged.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e6a1b

The change prevents archive-related memory exhaustion, but an oversized or highly expanding adapter package can now exhaust local disk and disrupt installation or host availability. Storage limits should be added or the risk explicitly accepted before merge.

Confirm temporary-directory isolation before changing file permissions.

FileShare.None does not set owner-only filesystem permissions. If Path.GetTempPath() is shared and the process creates files readable by other local users, a co-tenant can read the adapter archive during extraction. Confirm deployment isolation and effective filesystem permissions. If local co-tenants or proprietary adapter packages are in scope, create the archive with owner-only permissions and exclusive creation.

Bound adapter storage usage.

remoteStream.CopyToAsync(tempFileStream) copies until EOF without a byte limit. The installer then extracts the archive without an extraction-size budget. A large archive or expansion can exhaust local storage and fail installation. Enforce configured download and extraction storage limits.

Path Traversal (CWE-22): Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Reject archive paths that escape the extraction root.

entry.FullName is archive-controlled. Replacing \ does not remove .. segments. An entry such as ../../target can make Directory.CreateDirectory and ExtractToFile write outside directory.

Resolve each entry against Path.GetFullPath(directory) and reject it unless the canonical path remains below that root before creating or writing it.
