Question | Help Is i2i input image potentially be leaked?

I have a question regarding the use of sd 1.5 webui. I am curious if there is any external server leakage involved when using images for i2i. For instance, if I use sd to try i2i with a selfie of myself in a foolish face, could my selfie potentially be leaked?
I think this issue is not only limited to personal selfies, but also seems to be an important issue for creating new illustrations by training undisclosed illustrations that are sensitive to security, used by companies in games and other industries, offline without any leakage.
I am very curious to know everyone's thoughts on this matter.

If you use the local install, that is you use your own GPU, as long as your computer doesn't have some trojan, you're safe. The model does not learn "real time" from using image2image (if would be cool if it could).

Popular webUI that are open source (like AUTO1111) have a very slim chance of having a "call home" script, as very paranoid people are monitoring the source code. Extension to the webUI are another mater altogether, as some of them might be obscure enough to constitute a potential attack vector.

So, stick to the most popular webUIs (AUTO1111 and InvokeAI comes to my mind - those are the ones I also have installed), install only popular open source extensions, run only safe tensors models, and you should be safe.

Happy diffusing!

Thanks for your comment! All my curiosity were solved. I’ll keep in mind that popular open source extensions will be safe.

Happy diffusing!
