Security Architecture & Penetration Testing

Our zero-upload architecture eliminates the attack surfaces that traditional online file tools expose. Here's how.

Attack Surface Comparison

Traditional online PDF tools (iLovePDF, SmallPDF, Adobe Acrobat Online) accept file uploads to their servers, creating attack surfaces for file-based exploits, data breaches, and supply chain attacks. MiOffice's client-side architecture eliminates these surfaces entirely.

Attack SurfaceTraditional ToolsMiOffice
File Upload to ServerCritical — malicious file parsing, path traversal, arbitrary code executionEliminated — no file upload endpoint exists. Files never leave the browser.
Server-Side File ProcessingCritical — command injection via filenames, SSRF via embedded URLs, memory corruptionEliminated — all file processing runs in client-side WebAssembly sandbox.
Data at RestHigh — database breach exposes all processed documentsEliminated — no file data stored on any server. No database of user files exists.
Data in TransitHigh — MITM on file upload/download, TLS strippingEliminated — files never transit network. Only static page assets are served over TLS 1.3 + HSTS.
User AuthenticationHigh — credential stuffing, session hijacking, privilege escalationEliminated — no user accounts, no passwords, no sessions, no cookies tied to file operations.
API EndpointsHigh — injection, broken access control, rate limiting bypassMinimal — only analytics beacon endpoint. No file data in API requests.
Third-Party Dependencies (Server)Medium — supply chain attacks on server librariesEliminated — no server-side file processing libraries. WASM modules are client-side and versioned.

Defense-in-Depth Layers

Transport Security

TLS 1.3 with strong cipher suites. HSTS with preload (max-age=31536000, includeSubDomains). Certificate transparency monitoring.

WebAssembly Sandbox

All file processing runs in WASM linear memory — isolated from the JavaScript heap and DOM. No access to filesystem, network, or system calls.

Content Security

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff. X-Frame-Options: DENY. Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin. COEP: credentialless for SharedArrayBuffer isolation.

Memory Safety

WASM provides bounds-checked memory access. No buffer overflows possible. Memory is garbage-collected when the processing tab closes.

Subresource Integrity

WASM modules and critical scripts loaded with integrity verification. Prevents CDN compromise from injecting malicious code.

Network Isolation

File processing generates zero network requests. Verifiable via browser DevTools Network tab during any file operation.

Verify It Yourself

Our security claims are independently verifiable. You don't have to trust us — you can prove it.

Browser DevTools

Open Network tab → process any file → observe zero outbound data transfers. The file never leaves your browser.

SSL Labs Test

Run ssllabs.com/ssltest against mioffice.ai. We score A+ with TLS 1.3 and strong configuration.

Security Headers Scan

Run securityheaders.com against mioffice.ai. We score A with all recommended headers (CSP intentionally omitted for WASM compatibility).

Mozilla Observatory

Run observatory.mozilla.org against mioffice.ai. B+ score with detailed analysis of our HTTP security configuration.
