… tar traversal, credential leakage Salvaged from PRs #5800 (memosr), #5806 (memosr), #5915 (Ruzzgar), #5928 (Awsh1). Changes: - Use hmac.compare_digest for API key comparison (timing attack prevention) - Apply provider env var blocklist to Docker containers (credential leakage) - Replace tar.extractall() with safe extraction in TerminalBench2 (CVE-2007-4559) - Add SSRF protection via is_safe_url to ALL platform adapters: base.py (cache_image_from_url, cache_audio_from_url), discord, slack, telegram, matrix, mattermost, feishu, wecom (Signal and WhatsApp protected via base.py helpers) - Update tests: mock is_safe_url in Mattermost download tests - Add security tests for tar extraction (traversal, symlinks, safe files)

This PR closes a quiet but dangerous gap in TB2 archive handling
Some bugs scream. This one didn’t.
TerminalBench 2evaluation accepted base64-encodedtar.gzarchives from dataset task payloads and extracted them into temporary directories. Until now, that extraction path trusted archive metadata too much.That meant a malicious archive could attempt to:
What changed
The extraction flow was hardened to treat archive contents as hostile input.
This PR:
..traversal segmentsextractall()In short: task archives can still populate the eval workspace, but they can no longer redefine where that workspace ends.
Why this matters
TB2 tasks are effectively untrusted content at the archive boundary.
Even though this happens in an evaluation pipeline, archive traversal here is still high impact:
Proof we locked it down
Added focused security tests covering:
