Summary

Institutul National de Cercetare-Dezvoltare în Informatică (ICI Bucharest), Romania’s national IT research institute, exposes two Ollama nodes. Node 1 (85.122.129.92) runs cloud proxy subscriptions (DeepSeek, MiniMax). Node 2 (85.122.129.248) is a large-model compute node with 11 models including abliterated Qwen2.5-Coder, two Dolphin uncensored models, and a custom rdv-bot with exposed system prompt, and a 72B Qwen2.5 model.

Findings

F1: Cloud Proxy Quota Exposure (CRITICAL)

Node 1 exposes DeepSeek V4 Pro and MiniMax M2.7 cloud proxy subscriptions without authentication. Any actor can drain ICI Bucharest’s API quotas at no cost to themselves.

F2: rdv-bot System Prompt Leaked (HIGH)

Node 2 hosts a custom rdv-bot:latest model. The rdv-bot name (Romanian: “rdv” = “rendezvous” / appointment scheduling) suggests a production chatbot, a Romanian scheduling or appointment assistant. Full system prompt accessible via /api/show.

F3: Abliterated + Uncensored Models on Research Infrastructure (HIGH)

huihui_ai/qwen2.5-coder-abliterate:14b (safety-removed) and llama3.1-8b-abliterated coexist with legitimate research models. Both dolphin-llama3 and dolphin-mistral are uncensored variants. On a national research institute’s public-facing IP, these will comply with arbitrary instructions without access control.

F4: 72B Model for Free Inference (HIGH)

qwen2.5:72b accessible without authentication. Frontier-class inference at ICI Bucharest’s compute cost.

F5: Model Injection on Both Nodes (CRITICAL)

CVE-2025-63389 applies to both nodes.
