The OpenDocument Formula Template (ODFT) is an XML-based file format maintained by OASIS for defining mathematical equations and formulas. This format serves as a reusable blueprint within office productivity suites like LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice to ensure consistent formatting across multiple documents. While the format itself is considered safe, it utilizes a ZIP-compressed structure that requires office applications to implement proper security measures when parsing internal XML components and metadata.

Validation Code

How to validate .odft files in Python

Python
def is_odft(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid ODFT by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x50, 0x4B])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(2) == signature

How to validate .odft files in Node.js

Node.js
function isODFT(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x50, 0x4B]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 2).equals(signature);
}
Go
func IsODFT(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x50, 0x4B}
    if len(data) < 2 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:2], signature)
}
