Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

What is this endpoint?

api/chat

Ollama Chat API

What an attacker could do

An open Ollama chat endpoint allows unauthenticated conversational use of hosted models, leaking model identity and enabling resource exhaustion and jailbreak/prompt-injection testing against your infrastructure.

How to defend it

Restrict the Ollama listener to loopback or an internal network and require authentication via a proxy; enforce rate limits and per-client quotas.
