Summary

The Kyrgyz Research and Education Network (KRENA) has an Ollama instance exposed on port 11434 running a 433GB quantized GLM-5.1 model, the largest single local model observed in this research. The instance also carries a deepseek-v4-pro:cloud proxy.

Findings

F1: 433GB Local Model Publicly Accessible (HIGH)

frob/glm-5.1:744b-a40b-ud-q4_K_XL is the largest single local model discovered in this research sweep. The model is actively loaded (responds to /api/show); 433GB on disk requires substantial GPU infrastructure to serve. Any internet actor can run inference at KRENA’s compute cost.

Parameter count cross-reference:

  • Tag: 744b-a40b, declares 744B total, 40B active MoE
  • Epoch AI database (GLM-5, Z.ai/Zhipu, 2026-02-17): 744B total
  • KRENA /api/show reports parameter_size: 753.9B (likely Q4 quant overhead from tokenizer/embedding tensors)

The frob/ prefix is a Hugging Face community namespace, community quantization of ZhipuAI’s GLM-5.1.

F2: DeepSeek Cloud Proxy (HIGH)

deepseek-v4-pro:cloud is present. The 401 response does not include a signin_url with credentials (returns plain {"error": "unauthorized"}), suggesting either Ollama Connect credential storage differs on this instance or the account uses a non-standard auth path.

F3: CVE-2025-63389 Injectable (HIGH)

All 5 models injectable via unauthenticated /api/create.
