SFTP - SSH

Published by Microsoft

High risk

SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol that provides file access, file transfer, and file management over any reliable data stream. It was designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an extension of the Secure Shell protocol (SSH) version 2.0 to provide secure file transfer capabilities.

Security assessment

Plutonium assessed this connector 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 change or update your information: This connector can edit, rename, overwrite, or otherwise modify records in the connected service. If a request gets manipulated, your data could be altered without you noticing.
  • 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.
  • Sends your data to outside companies: Anything you share with this connector flows to a third-party service. That company sees, stores, and may use the data according to their own policies.
