Uploading files always has security risks. Even connecting to the
internet has security risks. The only way to not have any security risk
is to not have any USB ports, DVD drives, etc. on the machine, lock the
machine in a vault with no connection to the outside world, and don't
give anyone the key. Even then your machine isn't perfectly safe.

Of course, such a machine wouldn't be very useful.

There are always security risks. You need to balance the risks vs. the
rewards.
