Security audit

officecli-pptx

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is coherent for PowerPoint automation, but its setup tells agents to run unverified remote installer scripts directly in a shell.

Review the installer before running it, prefer a pinned release or verified binary from a trusted source, and install only if you are comfortable giving the OfficeCLI installer local code-execution authority. The skill itself does not show hidden data collection or destructive behavior.

Vague Triggers

High
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The activation condition lacks clear boundaries and exclusions, so the skill may be invoked for ambiguous requests where a PPTX-specific tool is unnecessary. In this context, ambiguity matters because the skill includes instructions to install and use external software, making accidental activation materially riskier than a harmless routing mistake.

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.
