Summary

Keio University (Japan) server with 8 Ollama models including two DeepSeek cloud proxy subscriptions and a 122-billion-parameter Qwen3.5 MoE model. Raw Ollama port publicly accessible without authentication. Cloud proxies require a higher-tier subscription (returned upgrade prompt, no credential leak). Full model injection surface via CVE-2025-63389.

Findings

F1: Unauthenticated Ollama API (CRITICAL)

Port 11434 publicly accessible. All 8 models enumerable without credentials.

F2: Dual DeepSeek Cloud Proxy Subscriptions (HIGH)

Two DeepSeek cloud proxy models registered. Subscription tier check returned:

{
  "error": "this model requires a subscription, upgrade for access: https://ollama.com/upgrade",
  "ref": "684df060-4e09-4e03-a76d-c07d04eb77c9"
}

Cloud proxy models exist and are registered, quota drain is gated behind subscription tier, not external access control. A subscription-bearing Ollama account could call these directly.

F3: 122B-Parameter Free Inference (HIGH)

Any actor can run inference on qwen3.5:122b (75GB) without authentication:

curl http://131.113.41.213:11434/api/generate \
  -d '{"model":"qwen3.5:122b","prompt":"...","stream":false}'

Free compute at operator’s hardware expense.

F4: Model Injection (CRITICAL)

All models injectable via CVE-2025-63389. Affects students/staff using the Open WebUI frontend at 131.113.37.67:3000.
