Installation context

Historical evidence

This report may not describe the currently installable artifact. Open the current Skill page for install guidance.

This report does not block or authorize the manifest or ZIP.

Static analysis reported many high-risk patterns, but most SKILL.md hits are false positives from Markdown examples, Excel cell references, and spreadsheet error names. The confirmed risks are recalc.py executing LibreOffice commands and writing a LibreOffice macro into a hidden user profile directory. No evidence found of prompt injection, credential access, or network exfiltration; publish with a medium-risk warning.

Confirmed security concerns (2)

RISK-001 Medium
External LibreOffice Process Execution
recalc.py invokes soffice through subprocess.run to recalculate spreadsheets and checks gtimeout on macOS. Arguments are passed as lists rather than through a shell, so command injection evidence is limited, but the skill still executes local external binaries on user-supplied workbooks.
The subprocess.run calls are direct and confirmed in recalc.py. The absence of shell=True and use of argument arrays lowers injection confidence, but external process execution is real.
RISK-002 Medium
LibreOffice Macro Written to Hidden User Profile
setup_libreoffice_macro creates or uses a hidden LibreOffice profile directory and writes Module1.xba. This appears intended for formula recalculation, but it modifies user-level application configuration and can persist beyond one workbook operation.
The code explicitly expands a hidden LibreOffice path and writes a macro file there. The context is legitimate recalculation, but the filesystem side effect is confirmed.

Analysis metadata

Audit model: codex

Analysis state: Complete

Scope is limited to the recorded files, lines, methods, and evidence. No runtime or sandbox execution is claimed.

Static false positives ignored (3)
Low
False Positive: XML Namespace URL Is Not Network Access
The hardcoded URL is inside the LibreOffice macro XML namespace. No evidence found that recalc.py performs HTTP requests, opens sockets, or sends workbook data to a remote service.
Line 37 is static XML metadata, not executable network code. No network library or request path appears in the reviewed files.
Low
False Positive: Markdown Examples Flagged as Shell Execution
Most SKILL.md external command and reconnaissance hits are fenced Python, Bash, JSON, inline spreadsheet examples, or code style guidance. They document spreadsheet workflows and do not execute during skill loading.
The referenced lines are documentation snippets, spreadsheet references, or style guidance. The only operational command they instruct is the expected recalc.py usage.
Low
False Positive: Weak Crypto and C2 Keyword Matches
The weak-crypto and C2 hits occur in prose, spreadsheet cell references, or example formulas such as C2. No evidence found of cryptographic APIs, command-and-control logic, or obfuscated traffic.
The cited lines contain spreadsheet instructions and examples, not security primitives or network control behavior. This strongly supports a scanner keyword false positive.

Verify and export

The manifest and lockfile bind install artifacts to cryptographic hashes. This integrity claim is separate from the security assessment.
