This severe flaw potentially impacts over 300,000 servers globally and could allow a remote attacker to leak sensitive information from the Ollama process memory, including API keys and customer data. The problem resides in the GGUF model loader within Ollama\u2019s \/api\/create endpoint, where an attacker can send a malicious GGUF file that triggers a memory safety violation, leading to information leakage via the \/api\/push endpoint. Users are advised to update to the latest version, limit network exposure, use authentication, and firewalls. Additionally, Ollama faces unpatched vulnerabilities in its Windows update mechanism detailed by Striga, which can enable persistent code execution by exploiting path traversal and missing signature verification flaws.<\/p>\n<p>Key Points:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Critical vulnerability CVE-2026-7482 in Ollama can leak process memory data including API keys and customer information.<br \/>\n&#8211; Exploitation requires sending a specially crafted GGUF file, triggering memory read violations, and subsequent data exfiltration.<br \/>\n&#8211; Second set of vulnerabilities in Ollama\u2019s Windows update mechanism allows for persistent code execution via path traversal and missing signature checks.<br \/>\n&#8211; Immediate response to update and security recommendation adherence is crucial to mitigate risks from both flaws.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ollama Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability Allows Remote Process Memory Leak https:\/\/thehackernews.com\/2026\/05\/ollama-out-of-bounds-read-vulnerability.html Publish Date: 2026-05-10 08:41:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":211799,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj92eUjjTTMJPizvUJGwq7Ych7nrXHwGRNt3hS9yjNGRJk5d3pdIKjeZhQDVuFp0DnKjP4qoieGWFjswm7nHDLBaxWC3DxFIfLfRjMSEXd0Ta04vcTrbCpS9PEXebUUbMBxBt0VOb-PKVk-7Cq0FjuMXl4VtKneb5a3ujCo872goPN22GBFFhReJtWsQJLK\/s1700-e365\/oll.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[24,27],"class_list":["post-211798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-cybersecurity","tag-vulnerability"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211798"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211798"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211798\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":211802,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211798\/revisions\/211802"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
