Risks of using online developer tools


I am sure there is a clear security risks of using online tools like 1. JsonFormatter 2. YAML validator 3. SQL formatter 4. Image converter 5. PDF converter many more...

I am looking for real world examples/cases of security vulnerability/issues you/your company encountered. This helps me to make a case at my company to implement a company wide deployment of these tools(open source) as internal tools for developers to use.

Not an example, but there's potential to expose (give them) private or sensitive data.

May items from your list running on Windows 10 be considered as online developer tools?
