Compost Extract and Can it be contamintaed by late blight

I need some advice from the compost gurus out there.

I began a batch of compost extract...about 7-12 day ago..I forgot to journal the date. I stir it about every other day unless it rains, which here in WV's eastern panhandle Zone 6 has been every other day.

Long story short...I threw tomato foliage into it...after a week or so I noticed fungus in the Early girl tomato foliage...Not sure which one. But it had invaded all of the tomatoes...So, They are gone as per recommendation for late blight.

My question is this, will that fungus grow in the compost extract? by now, maybe 15 days later the extract is anaerobic, Yes or No? Will I be spreading fungus if I use the extract? If so, How do I rendering it harmless?

Thanks in advance for your help. JIJACK
