Security assessment

Plutonium assessed this desktop extension for permissions, capabilities, and security-relevant behavior.

  • Reads your private information: This connector can read data the connected service holds about you - documents, messages, contact lists, source code, customer records, or saved profile details - and pass it back to the AI.
  • Can permanently delete data: This connector can erase records, files, or accounts. Once deleted the data may be unrecoverable - even an accidental request can cause permanent loss.
  • Can run commands or queries on your behalf: This connector can execute scripts, shell commands, or arbitrary database queries. In a worst case, an attacker could install software, read files, or pull or change any data its login can reach.
