An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-66960 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66960/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66960/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-66960","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66960/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-66960","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jr3x-q8gx-4gw3","MINI-hwpp-vf7w-7h4f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LLM inference server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote attacker can cause a denial of service in Ollama by sending malicious GGUF metadata that triggers excessive resource consumption during string parsing.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ollama","vendor":"ollama"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"},{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"An issue in ollama v.0.12.10 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the fs/ggml/gguf.go, function readGGUFV1String reads a string length from untrusted GGUF metadata","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-66960","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-66963"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-66959"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2026-01-21","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Ollama Platform has missing authentication enabling attackers to perform model management operations","id":"CVE-2025-63389","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-18"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Ollama can extract members of a ZIP archive outside of the parent directory","id":"CVE-2024-45436","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-29"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Ollama heap out-of-bounds read in GGUF tensor parsing leaks server process memory to unauthenticated remote attackers","id":"CVE-2026-7482","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-04"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Ollama does not validate the format of the digest (sha256 with 64 hex digits)","id":"CVE-2024-37032","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-31"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Ollama Multi-Modal Model Image Processing NULL Pointer Dereference","id":"CVE-2025-15514","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-12"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Ollama Out-of-bounds Read","id":"CVE-2024-39720","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-31"},{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"Missing Signature Verification for Updates in Ollama","id":"CVE-2026-42248","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-29"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-01-22","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A remote attacker can cause a denial of service in Ollama by sending malicious GGUF metadata that triggers excessive resource consumption during string parsing.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66960/"}
