GGUF Metadata RCE PoC

Verification

$ ls -la corrupt.gguf # Malicious metadata payload embedded $ # Load with llama.cpp or ggml โ†’ Metadata parser triggers RCE

Bounty Repro

Download corrupt.gguf llama.cpp/ggml load โ†’ Metadata deserialization executes payload RCE via malformed metadata fields

Discovery

  • Garak Probe: Metadata injection bypasses model scanners
  • Attack: LLM generates corrupted GGUF headers โ†’ parser exploits
  • Scanner Evasion: Protect AI misses metadata-layer payloads

Huntr Impact

  • CVSS: 9.8 (Model loader RCE)
  • Vector: Malicious GGUF files hosted on HF
