@tsl65 How can they send a file? Federated chat to or from people outside your organisation doesn't allow file transfer.

@ChristianJBergstrom I don't really see where the OP mentions it's from the consumer version.
Anyway that's not a file, it's a link to a file, just like if I emailed a link or you clicked one on a website, all the same mechanisms exist if you want to scan it. Microsoft Defender for Office 365 includes SafeLinks which will scan the destination of a link sent via Teams so offers protection.
It's very rare for organisations to allow chat with personal Teams accounts, most just turn it off and then use an allowlist for the organisations that people can talk to.

One can assume as you cannot share files in federated chats ;)
Safe Links feature will work for all kinds of links sent from the consumer account. When the consumer account is sharing documents (sharing links) you're hoping that the Safe attachments will kick in. But that's an asynchronous process so will/can be bypassed. Haven't yet seen Safe Links take action when receiving a sharing link from a consumer account. *edit* If having a license with Safe Documents you'll get protection from the above scenario. Before a user is allowed to trust a file opened in a supported version of Office, the file will be verified by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
Should obviously been rolled out default off as it shouldn't be on for consumer -> org direction.

@Steven Collier We had the setting that Christian mentioned, set to allow contact from unmanaged sources.
(Teams accounts not managed by an organization)
