CVE-2026-7482: Ollama Heap Read Exposes API Keys

ATLAS OWASP CRITICAL Active exploitation · Immediate action required ▲ 9.2 SecurityWeek

A critical heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CVE-2026-7482, CVSS 9.3) in Ollama's GGUF model loader allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exfiltrate sensitive heap memory — including API keys, prompts, and PII — using just three API calls. With approximately 300,000 Ollama instances publicly exposed and no authentication required by default, the attack surface is immediately and broadly exploitable. The vulnerability has been patched in Ollama version 0.17.1, but unpatched internet-facing deployments remain at critical risk.
