CVE-2026-5530 is a server-side request forgery vulnerability in Ollama model-pull processing affecting releases through 0.18.1. An unauthenticated remote requester can supply a manipulated model source that causes the Ollama service to make outbound HTTP requests to attacker-selected destinations. The affected non-tensor blob download processing can follow redirects to a different host, permitting requests to internal services or external systems not directly reachable by the attacker.

Repository contains a single Python proof-of-concept exploit (poc.py) and a README describing usage. The exploit targets CVE-2026-5530 in Ollama by standing up two attacker-controlled HTTP services that emulate OCI/Docker registries. The first service ('Rogue') listens on a configurable port (default 9999) and serves minimal registry metadata, then issues an HTTP 307 redirect on blob requests to an attacker-selected target URL. This causes Ollama to perform SSRF to arbitrary internal HTTP endpoints reachable from the Ollama host. In enum mode, the script measures whether pulls succeed or return quickly to identify live internal endpoints. In probe mode, it binary-searches the expected Content-Length by varying the declared blob size and timing pull behavior, allowing the attacker to infer the size of the SSRF response. In exfil mode, once the response size is known or probed, the script abuses Ollama's /api/copy and /api/push endpoints to push the captured blob contents to a second attacker-controlled registry ('Exfil', default port 10000), where the response body is reconstructed and printed. The code is operational and weaponized enough to perform real SSRF enumeration and response exfiltration, but it is a standalone PoC rather than part of a larger exploitation framework.
