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?

Ollama Embeddings API

What an attacker could do

Unauthenticated access to Ollama embeddings lets attackers consume GPU/CPU compute for free and probe model behavior, while large batch requests can be used for denial of service.

How to defend it

Require authentication and rate limiting in front of the embeddings endpoint and ensure the Ollama port is not reachable from the public internet.
