llama.cpp b5693 and before is vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion in common/json-schema-to-grammar.cpp, resulting in a denial of service.
AnalysisAI
Uncontrolled recursion in llama.cpp's JSON-schema-to-grammar converter (common/json-schema-to-grammar.cpp, versions through build b5693) allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to crash the service by submitting a crafted JSON schema that triggers unbounded recursive processing, exhausting the call stack and producing a denial of service. The CVSS vector confirms network reachability with no authentication required and no user interaction needed, making this exploitable against any deployment that exposes the llama.cpp HTTP server endpoint to untrusted clients. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The llama.cpp HTTP server must be running and its structured-output grammar endpoint must be reachable by the attacker. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) is well-calibrated for this vulnerability: network-reachable, trivially triggered, no privileges needed, with full availability loss but no confidentiality or integrity impact. … 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 | Update llama.cpp to a build later than b5693; monitor https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp for the specific commit or tagged release that addresses this issue, as no exact patched version was independently confirmed from available data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all llama.cpp deployments through build b5693 and determine which have HTTP server endpoints accessible from untrusted networks. …
