Summary

The Institute for Informatics and Automation Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia (Yerevan) is running Ollama inside a Docker container with two cloud proxy subscriptions. The 401 response leaks Docker container credentials, consistent with the Docker port-binding misconfig pattern also found at Hanoi University.

Credential Leak

{
  "error": "unauthorized",
  "signin_url": "https://ollama.com/connect?name=c2a68a9aa573&key=<base64>"
}
  • Username: c2a68a9aa573, Docker container ID
  • SSH pubkey: ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIBqWiNKYbTt7XQxVG0OdY/61UHxsXkuGVtuS0UShBD7V

Both cloud proxy models return 401 with the same credentials, single Ollama Connect account inside one Docker container.

Findings

F1, Docker Credential Leak (HIGH): Container ID in Ollama Connect username.
F2, Dual Cloud Proxy on Academic Research Server (HIGH): DeepSeek and MiniMax subscriptions exposed.
F3, Model Injection (CRITICAL): All 3 models injectable via CVE-2025-63389.


Pattern

Docker container hostname as Ollama username also seen at: Hanoi University (Vietnam, 04aa6fb5e0b8), Purdue NW (US-IN, c0ddfaef7764). All three expose port 11434 via docker run -p 11434:11434 which binds to 0.0.0.0.
