CamScanner-Pdf2Office

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward PDF-to-Office converter that discloses sending chosen PDFs to CamScanner for processing.

Install only if you are comfortable sending the specific PDFs you choose to CamScanner for conversion. Avoid confidential, regulated, or highly sensitive documents unless CamScanner’s privacy, retention, and compliance terms meet your needs.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Content
```bash
BASE="https://ai-tools.camscanner.com"

IN_FILE_ID=$(curl -sS -X POST "$BASE/v1/tools/upload_file/execute" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
  --data-binary "@/path/to/document.pdf" | jq -r '.tool_result.data.file_id')
```
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
This command uploads a local PDF to a third-party server, which is a genuine data egress event. Although the skill discloses the behavior, sending potentially sensitive local documents off-device creates confidentiality and compliance risk if invoked on private files.

OUTPUT_FILE="/path/to/output.docx"

# Upload
IN_FILE_ID=$(curl -sS -X POST "$BASE/v1/tools/upload_file/execute" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
  --data-binary "@$INPUT_PDF" | jq -r '.tool_result.data.file_id')
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
This pipeline example again uploads a local PDF to CamScanner, creating real third-party transmission of user-controlled local content. In the context of a document-conversion skill, this is expected behavior, but it is still security-relevant because documents may contain confidential or regulated data.
