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/models

Ollama Models List API

What an attacker could do

Enumerates every model installed in the Ollama instance, fingerprinting the deployment and revealing which custom or proprietary models are available for further abuse.

How to defend it

Do not expose the Ollama API publicly; gate the models listing behind authentication and network ACLs so unauthenticated clients cannot enumerate inventory.
