CVE-2026-2069 — ggml-org llama.cpp GBNF Grammar llama-grammar.cpp llama_grammar_advance_stack stack-based overflow

A flaw has been found in ggml-org llama.cpp up to 55abc39. Impacted is the function llama_grammar_advance_stack of the file llama.cpp/src/llama-grammar.cpp of the component GBNF Grammar Handler. This manipulation causes stack-based buffer overflow. The attack needs to be launched locally. The exploit has been published and may be used. Patch name: 18993. To fix this issue, it is recommended to deploy a patch.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.1% (30-day exploitation probability)+0
  • CISA SSVC: exploitation "poc"+5

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Ggml-org Llama.cpp).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (memory corruption), errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-2069 is "ggml-org llama.cpp GBNF Grammar llama-grammar.cpp llama_grammar_advance_stack stack-based overflow", rated Low. It affects Llama.cpp (Ggml-org); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 3.3 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.15% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
