Mistral OCR

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill’s OCR behavior is clearly disclosed, but its open-ended Mistral SDK dependency includes a confirmed compromised release in the allowed range.

Review before installing. The OCR workflow itself is transparent, but install only with a dependency lock or constraint that avoids `mistralai==2.4.6` and verifies the resolved SDK version. Do not use it for sensitive documents unless Mistral cloud processing is acceptable, and prefer a temporary environment variable or secrets manager for the API key.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The script uploads the entire input document to Mistral's remote OCR service, but the user-facing behavior does not clearly and explicitly warn that document contents leave the local machine. This creates a real privacy and data-handling risk, especially if users process sensitive PDFs or images under the assumption that OCR is local.
