Ollama Abnormal Network Connectivity: endpointWeb Application2025-10-05version:1
Detects abnormal network activity and connectivity issues in Ollama including non-localhost API access attempts and warning-level network errors such as DNS lookup failures, TCP connection issues, or host resolution problems that may indicate network-based attacks, unauthorized access attempts, or infrastructure reconnaissance activity.
Ollama Excessive API Requests: endpointWeb Application2025-10-05version:1
Detects potential Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks or rate limit abuse against Ollama API endpoints by identifying excessive request volumes from individual client IP addresses. This detection monitors GIN-formatted Ollama server logs to identify clients generating abnormally high request rates within short time windows, which may indicate automated attacks, botnet activity, or resource exhaustion attempts targeting local AI model infrastructure.
Ollama Abnormal Service Crash Availability Attack: endpointWeb Application2025-10-05version:1
Detects critical service crashes, fatal errors, and abnormal process terminations in Ollama that may indicate exploitation attempts, resource exhaustion attacks, malicious input triggering unhandled exceptions, or deliberate denial of service attacks designed to disrupt AI model availability and degrade system stability.
Ollama Possible RCE via Model Loading: endpointWeb Application2025-10-05version:1
Detects Ollama server errors and failures during model loading operations that may indicate malicious model injection, path traversal attempts, or exploitation of model loading mechanisms to achieve remote code execution. Adversaries may attempt to load specially crafted malicious models or exploit vulnerabilities in the model loading process to execute arbitrary code on the server. This detection monitors error messages and failure patterns that could signal attempts to abuse model loading functionality for malicious purposes.
Ollama Suspicious Prompt Injection Jailbreak: endpointWeb Application2025-10-05version:1
Detects potential prompt injection or jailbreak attempts against Ollama API endpoints by identifying requests with abnormally long response times. Attackers often craft complex, layered prompts designed to bypass AI safety controls, which typically result in extended processing times as the model attempts to parse and respond to these malicious inputs. This detection monitors /api/generate and /api/chat endpoints for requests exceeding 30 seconds, which may indicate sophisticated jailbreak techniques, multi-stage prompt injections, or attempts to extract sensitive information from the model.
Ollama Possible API Endpoint Scan Reconnaissance: endpointWeb Application2025-10-05version:1
Detects API reconnaissance and endpoint scanning activity against Ollama servers by identifying sources probing multiple API endpoints within short timeframes, particularly when using HEAD requests or accessing diverse endpoint paths, which indicates systematic enumeration to map the API surface, discover hidden endpoints, or identify vulnerabilities before launching targeted attacks.
Ollama Possible Model Exfiltration Data Leakage: endpointWeb Application2025-10-05version:1
Detects data leakage and exfiltration attempts targeting Ollama model metadata and configuration endpoints. Adversaries repeatedly query /api/show, /api/tags, and /api/v1/models to systematically extract sensitive model information including architecture details, fine-tuning parameters, system paths, Modelfile configurations, and proprietary customizations. Multiple inspection attempts within a 15-minute window indicate automated exfiltration of valuable intellectual property such as custom model configurations, system prompts, and internal model specifications. This activity represents unauthorized data disclosure that could enable competitive intelligence gathering, model replication, or preparation for advanced attacks against the AI infrastructure.
Ollama Possible Memory Exhaustion Resource Abuse: endpointWeb Application2025-10-05version:1
Detects abnormal memory allocation patterns and excessive runner operations in Ollama that may indicate resource exhaustion attacks, memory abuse through malicious model loading, or attempts to degrade system performance by overwhelming GPU/CPU resources. Adversaries may deliberately load multiple large models, trigger repeated model initialization cycles, or exploit memory allocation mechanisms to exhaust available system resources, causing denial of service conditions or degrading performance for legitimate users.
