Unauthenticated network RCE (PR:N/UI:N, C/I/A:H) but AC:H because success depends on winning the sleep-transition race; same-process worker corruption means S:U.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
llama.cpp builds b7492 through the latest b9060 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the vocab pointer of llama-server when the --sleep-idle-seconds feature is enabled, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. Attackers can trigger the vulnerability by sending requests to affected endpoints while the server transitions to sleep mode, causing concurrent worker threads to dereference a freed vocab pointer that can be reclaimed with attacker-controlled data to achieve remote code execution.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in llama.cpp's llama-server (builds b7492 through b9060) allows unauthenticated attackers to run arbitrary code by racing the server's idle-sleep transition when the --sleep-idle-seconds feature is enabled. Concurrent worker threads dereference a freed vocab pointer that can be reclaimed with attacker-controlled data. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that llama-server be started with the --sleep-idle-seconds feature enabled - this is the exact configuration prerequisite and it is not a default. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals partially conflict and must be weighed carefully. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patched build version is confirmed in the provided data; the only fix pointer is a third-party GitHub security-patches repository (https://github.com/Vladimir-tokarev-cyera/llama-cpp-security-patches), so an upstream fix may exist but a released patched build is not independently confirmed - verify against the official ggml-org/llama.cpp releases before relying on a specific build. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all llama.cpp llama-server instances in production and determine which builds (b7492-b9060) are deployed and whether the --sleep-idle-seconds feature is enabled. …
