CVE-2026-43631
Last modified
CVE-2026-43631 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.2/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
