Tesseract is developed by Google and a loose confederation of independent open source developers which has no official organizational body. If you want to maximize the security of your Tesseract instance, you should only use binaries that you build yourself or a party you trust and you should audit the source code to whatever level of due diligence you think is appropriate. If you're concerned about exfil through the network, you could run your OCR on a machine with no external network access. For what it's worth, I've never heard of anyone complain of Trojans in Tesseract, but that could just mean that they are well hidden.
