Security audit

officecli-academic-paper

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly a coherent OfficeCLI academic document guide, but its setup asks users to run remote installer scripts directly in a shell.

Review the OfficeCLI installer source before running it, prefer a signed release or package-manager install if available, and only run the setup commands if you trust the OfficeCLI publisher and domain. The document-generation instructions themselves are purpose-aligned and do not show hidden data collection or destructive behavior.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Content
If `officecli` is missing:

- **macOS / Linux**: `curl -fsSL https://d.officecli.ai/install.sh | bash`
- **Windows (PowerShell)**: `irm https://d.officecli.ai/install.ps1 | iex`

Verify with `officecli --version` (open a new terminal if PATH hasn't picked up). If install fails, download a binary from https://github.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/releases.
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs users to execute remotely fetched scripts directly with `curl | bash` and `irm | iex`, which creates a supply-chain and arbitrary code-execution risk. If the hosting domain, transport path, or upstream release process is compromised, users following the skill will run attacker-controlled code on their machines.
