None of them really execute "code". Pandoc has a pretty good write up of the security implications or running it, which I think applies just as much to the other ones, with the added caveat of zip bombs.

It's just text, this isn't ripgrepping through your excel macros, just the data that's actually in the excel file.

I don't think there's a default excel adapter in rga.

(I wanted one somewhat recently, and then doing a find for xls on the linked page returns 0 results)

You are correct that rga doesn't ship with an Excel adapter out of the box. I have an open PR [1] to allow users to process XLS and XLSX files like any other Zip archive.
