25 Aug 2026, 10:07 PM	The Hacker News	7.0	A Malicious Webpage Could Poison Your Local AI Model Behind NVIDIA NemoClaw Oasis Security disclosed that NVIDIA NemoClaw's Ollama integration binds to 0.0.0.0:11434 without authentication on Windows/WSL, letting a malicious webpage modify the model's chat template and plant persistent hidden instructions. NemoClaw v0.0.35 fixes this on macOS and Linux, but Windows/WSL remains unfixed at v0.0.34 with only a warning. The core issue—Ollama's API on port 11434 having no auth and Ollama's own docs advising 0.0.0.0 binding in container/WSL setups—extends beyond NemoClaw to anyone running Ollama locally. Why: If you run Ollama locally (with or without NemoClaw), check whether OLLAMA_HOST is set to 0.0.0.0:11434—any webpage you visit could hit that unauthenticated API and silently alter your model's chat template. On Windows/WSL with NemoClaw, there is no fix yet; pin to loopback (127.0.0.1) or firewall port 11434. For Malaysian builders running local LLMs for cost or data-sovereignty reasons, this is a concrete attack surface to close before deploying agents that have tool access. security ollama local-llm nvidia-nemoclaw ai-agents
