Unauthenticated service crash via recursive schema conversion
Published Sep 1, 2026 · Updated Sep 1, 2026
Uncontrolled recursion in llama.cpp b5693 and earlier allows remote attackers to crash the service via a crafted JSON schema. The converter in common/json-schema-to-grammar.cpp recursively processes attacker-controlled schema structure without a depth bound until process resources are exhausted. Network access to an endpoint that accepts JSON-schema-constrained requests is sufficient; the reported effect is an availability-only process crash.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
