persnally
A model of you, built from your own AI history, on your machine. Every AI you use reads it. So every AI finally knows you.
This report shows the evidence for persnally@3.2.0. 1 of 6 known versions is blocked or flagged. The newest version, 3.3.0, is allowed. See all versions.
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe daemon automatically processes new sessions and defaults to the paid Anthropic API whenever an API key is present. This background use of the user's key can incur charges and transmit private session text without per-run consent.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The daemon is running and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is available.
Impact
This can spend the user's API credits and disclose session contents to the model provider without per-run consent.
Mechanism
A 30-minute timer starts automatic imports. Engine selection defaults to Anthropic when the key is present, and the extractor submits conversation content to the Anthropic API.
Attack narrative
While the daemon runs, a timer automatically imports new AI sessions. If an Anthropic API key is available, engine selection chooses Anthropic by default and submits conversation text to its API. This uses the user's key and can incur charges while transmitting session contents without an explicit request for each import.
AI rationale
The daemon automatically processes new sessions and defaults to the paid Anthropic API whenever an API key is present. This background use of the user's key can incur charges and transmit private session text without per-run consent.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 91.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The daemon schedules new-session imports every 30 minutes while it is running.
- Automatic imports choose an extraction engine and pass it to the background import routine without a per-session user action.
- When ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is present, engine selection defaults to Anthropic.
- The Anthropic extractor sends the conversation content in a user message.
- The Anthropic SDK defaults to api.anthropic.com.
Evidence against
- Conversation extraction is a core package function; the README describes using the user's own model key or local Ollama.
- The README says text is sent to the model the user chooses.
- The background behavior requires the daemon to be running; the manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
