CVE-2026-110810: ggml-org whisper.cpp Model Loader whisper_model_load out-of-bounds
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 3/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.11% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: ggml-org whisper.cpp 1.9.5.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to ggml-org whisper.cpp 1.9.5 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A vulnerability was detected in ggml-org whisper.cpp up to 1.9.4. This affects the function whisper_model_load of the file src/whisper.cpp of the component Model Loader. Performing a manipulation of the argument ttype results in out-of-bounds read. The attack must be initiated from a local position. The exploit is now public and may be used. Upgrading to version 1.9.5 is able to mitigate this issue. The patch is named 60c0be6ac8fa71b1a2ae2dd938a31a34a508e774. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early, responded in a very professional manner and quickly released a fixed version of the affected product.
