What Are the Security Risks Associated with the “Off-Chain Reporting” Process Itself?

The main risk is that the data, while collected securely off-chain, could be tampered with or censored before being submitted to the on-chain smart contract. This is mitigated by using a decentralized network of oracle nodes, cryptographic proofs (like threshold signatures), and TEEs to ensure that the data reported on-chain is exactly what the consensus of the nodes agreed upon and has not been altered in transit.
